Check whether the power cord is connected correctly. If
the problem persists, turn off the monitor, and then turn it on again a few minutes later.
Press

Power indicator is lighting blue.
Set each RGB adjusting value in <Gain> to higher
level.(page 17).

2. The message below appears.
This message appears when the signal is not input correctly even when the monitor functions properly.
This message appears when no signal is input.
(This is displayed for about 40 seconds)
The message shown left may appear, because some
PCs do not output the signal soon after power-on.
Check whether the PC is turned on.

5-4. Glossary

DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
A digital flat panel interface. DVI can transmit digital data from the PC directly without loss with the signal transition method "TMDS". There are two kinds of DVI connectors. One is DVI-D connector for digital signal input only. The other is DVI-I connector for both digital and analog signal inputs.
DVI DMPM (DVI Digital Monitor Power Management)
The Power management system for the digital interface. The "Monitor ON" status (operation mode) and the "Active Off" status (power-saving mode) are indispensable for the DVI-DMPM as the monitor's power mode.
Gain Adjustment
Adjusts each color parameter for red, green and blue. The color of the LCD monitor is displayed through the color filter of the LCD panel. Red, green and blue are the three primary colors. The colors on the monitor are displayed by combining these three colors. The color tone can change by adjusting the illumination amount passed through each color's filter.
Gamma
Generally, the relationship that the light intensity values of a monitor change nonlinearly to the input signal level is called "Gamma Characteristic". On the monitor, low gamma values display the whitish images and high gamma values display the high contrast images.
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection)
Digital signal coding system developed to copy-protect the digital contents, such as video, music, etc. This helpsto transmit the digital contents safely by coding the digital contents sent via DVI terminal on the output side anddecoding them on the input side.Any digital contents cannot be reproduced if both of the equipments on the output and input sides are not applicableto HDCP system.
Resolution
The LCD panel consists of a fixed number of pixel elements which are illuminated to form the screen image. The display panel of this monitor consists of 2560 horizontal pixels and 1600 vertical pixels. At a resolution of 2560 x 1600, images are displayed as a full screen (1:1).
Temperature
Color Temperature is a method to measure the white color tone, generally indicated in degrees Kelvin. At high temperatures the white tone appears somewhat blue, while at lower temperatures it appears somewhat red. Computer monitors generally give best performance at high temperature settings.
5000 K: Slightly reddish white. 6500 K: Warm-white tone, similar to white paper or daylight. 9300 K: Slightly bluish white.

TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signaling)
A signal transition method for the digital interface.
VESA DPMS (Video Electronics Standards Association - Display Power Management Signaling)
The acronym VESA stands for "Video Electronics Standards Association", and DPMS stands for "Display Power Management Signaling". DPMS is a communication standard that PCs and graphics boards use to implement power savings on the monitor side.

Hinweise zur Auswahl des richtigen Schwenkarms für Ihren Monitor
Dieser Monitor ist für Bildschirmarbeitsplätze vorgesehen. Wenn nicht der zum Standardzubehör gehörige
Schwenkarm verwendet wird, muss statt dessen ein geeigneter anderer Schwenkarm installiert werden. Bei der Auswahl des Schwenkarms sind die nachstehenden Hinweise zu berücksichtigen:
Der Standfuß muß den nachfolgenden Anforderungen entsprechen: a) Der Standfuß muß eine ausreichende mechanische Stabilität zur Aufnahme des Gewichtes vom Bildschirmgerät
und des spezizierten Zubehörs besitzen. Das Gewicht des Bildschirmgerätes und des Zubehörs sind in der
zugehörenden Bedienungsanleitung angegeben.
b) Die Befestigung des Standfusses muß derart erfolgen, daß die oberste Zeile der Bildschirmanzeige nicht höher
als die Augenhöhe eines Benutzers in sitzender Position ist.
c) Im Fall eines stehenden Benutzers muß die Befestigung des Bildschirmgerätes derart erfolgen, daß die Höhe der
Bildschirmmitte über dem Boden zwischen 135 – 150 cm beträgt.
d) Der Standfuß muß die Möglichkeit zur Neigung des Bildschirmgerätes besitzen (max. vorwärts: 5°, min. nach
hinten ≥ 5°).
e) Der Standfuß muß die Möglichkeit zur Drehung des Bildschirmgerätes besitzen (max. ±180°). Der maximale
Kraftaufwand dafür muß weniger als 100 N betragen. f) Der Standfuß muß in der Stellung verharren, in die er manuell bewegt wurde. g) Der Glanzgrad des Standfusses muß weniger als 20 Glanzeinheiten betragen (seidenmatt).
h) Der Standfuß mit Bildschirmgerät muß bei einer Neigung von bis zu 10° aus der normalen aufrechten Position
kippsicher sein.
Hinweis zur Ergonomie :
Dieser Monitor erfüllt die Anforderungen an die Ergonomie nach EK1-ITB2000 mit dem Videosignal, 2560 × 1600 , Digital Eingang und mindestens 60,0 Hz Bildwiederholfrequenz, non interlaced. Weiterhin wird aus
ergonomischen Gründen empfohlen, die Grundfarbe Blau nicht auf dunklem Untergrund zu verwenden (schlechte Erkennbarkeit, Augenbelastung bei zu geringem Zeichenkontrast.)
