PRECAUTIONS

LCD Panel

In order to suppress the luminosity change by long-term use and to maintain the stable luminosity, use of a monitor in

lower brightness is recommended.

The LCD panel is manufactured using high-precision technology. However, note that the appearance of any missing

pixels or lit pixels does not indicate damage to the LCD monitor.

Percentage of effective pixels: 99.9994% or higher.

The backlight of the LCD panel has a fixed life span. When the screen becomes dark or begins to flicker, please contact

your dealer.

Do not press on the panel or edge of the frame strongly, as this may result in damage to the screen. There will be prints

left on the screen if the pressed image is dark or black. If pressure is repeatedly applied to the screen, it may deteriorate

or damage your LCD panel. Leave the screen white to decrease the prints.

Do not scratch or press on the panel with any sharp objects, such as a pencil or pen as this may result in damage to the

panel. Do not attempt to brush with tissues as this may scratch the LCD panel.

When the monitor is cold and brought into a room or the room temperature goes up quickly, dew condensation

may occur inside and outside the monitor. In that case, do not turn the monitor on and wait until dew condensation

disappears, otherwise it may cause damage to the monitor.

To use the monitor comfortably

An excessively dark or bright screen may affect your eyes. Adjust the brightness of the monitor according to the

environmental conditions.

Staring at the monitor for a long time tires your eyes. Take a 10-minute rest every hour.

Chapter 5 Reference

5-4 Glossary

Clock

The analog input monitor needs to reproduce a clock of the same frequency as the dot clock of the graphics system in

use, when the analog input signal is converted to a digital signal for image display.

This is called clock adjustment. If the clock pulse is not set correctly, some vertical bars appear on the screen.

DVI (Digital Visual Interface)

DVI is a digital interface standard. DVI allows direct transmission of the PC’s digital data without loss.

This adopts the TMDS transmission system and DVI connectors. There are two types of DVI connectors. One is

a DVI-D connector for digital signal input only. The other is a DVI-I connector for both digital and analog signal

inputs.

DVI DMPM (DVI Digital Monitor Power Management)

DVI DMPM is a digital interface power-saving function. The “Monitor ON (operating mode)” and “Active Off

(power-saving mode)” are indispensable for DVI DMPM as the monitor’s power mode.

Gain

This is used to adjust each color parameter for red, green and blue. An LCD monitor displays the color by the light

passing through the panel color filter. Red, green and blue are the three primary colors. All the colors on the screen

are displayed by combining these three colors. The color tone can be changed by adjusting the light intensity (volume)

passing through each color’s filter.

Phase

Phase means the sampling timing to convert the analog input signal to a digital signal. Phase adjustment is made to

adjust the timing. It is recommended that phase adjustment be made after the clock is adjusted correctly.

Resolution

The LCD panel consists of numerous pixels of specified size, which are illuminated to form images. The monitor

consists of 1280 horizontal pixels and 1024 vertical pixels. At a resolution of 1280 × 1024, all pixels are illuminated

as a full screen (1:1).

sRGB (Standard RGB)

International standard for “color reproduction and color space” among peripheral devices (such as monitors, printers,

digital cameras, scanners). sRGB allows Internet users to closely match colors as a simple color matching means for

the Internet use.

Temperature

Color temperature is a method to measure the white color tone, generally indicated in degrees Kelvin. The screen

becomes reddish at a low temperature, and bluish at a high temperature, like the flame temperature.

5000K: Slightly reddish white

6500K: Warm white like paper white

9300K: Slightly bluish white

TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signaling)

A signal transmission system for digital interface.

VESA DPMS (Video Electronics Standards Association - Display Power Management Signaling)

VESA provides the standardization of signals from PC (graphics board) for power saving of PC monitors. DPMS

defines the signal status between PC and monitor.
