This operating manual contains important information you require to start up and run your LCD
monitor.
A graphics card (screen controller) with VGA interface or a digital graphics card with DVI interface is
required to control the SCENICVIEW P17-2 / P19-2 / P19-2P / P20-2 / P20-2S LCD monitor. The
monitor processes the data supplied to it by the screen controller. The screen controller or the
associated driver software is responsible for setting the modes (resolution and refresh rate).
When putting the monitor into operation for the first time, the screen display should be optimally
adapted to the screen controller used and adjusted in accordance with your needs (see the
Changing the monitor settings" section in the "Operation of the monitor" chapter).

Notes on power management
If your computer is equipped with power management, the monitor can support this function fully.
Here the monitor does not distinguish between the individual energy-saving modes of the computer
(standby mode, suspend mode and OFF mode), as it is capable of immediately switching into the
mode with the highest energy-saving effect.

Power consumption Normal
< 42 W (P17-2)
< 45 W (P19-2 / P19-2P)
< 70 W (P20-2 / P20-2S)
If your computer detects inactivity (no input) it sends an appropriate signal to the monitor to reduce
the power consumption (energy-saving mode). The power indicator of the monitor changes colour to
indicate the status change.
Once an input is made at the computer the screen contents are redrawn and full power is restored.
For detailed information on how energy-saving mode operates refer to the operating manual or
technical manual of the computer.
When the monitor is switched to the energy-saving mode by the power management
i
system a power consumption of up to 1 W is maintained to feed the circuit for redrawing
the screen contents.
To completely switch off the power consumption, switch off the monitor with the main
switch at the rear.
When putting the monitor into operation for the first time, the screen display should be optimally
adapted to the screen controller used and adjusted in accordance with your needs.

Notes on ergonomic colour adjustment
If you select colours for the display in your application programmes, take note of the information
below.
The primary colours blue and red on a dark background do not produce the minimum required
contrast of 3:1 and are therefore not suitable for continuous text and data entry.
When using several colours for characters and background and giving the primary colours full
modulation, you can obtain very suitable colour combinations (see the following table):
Background
black white purple blue cyan green yellow red
black + + - + + + -
white + + + - - - +
purple + + - - - - -
blue - + - + - + -
cyan + - - + - - -
green + - - + - - -
yellow + - + + - - +
red - + - - - - +
+ Colour combination very suitable
- Colour combination not suitable because colour locations are too close together, thin characters
are not identifiable or rigorous focusing is demanded of the human eye.
Should an error occur, first check the following points. If the distortion is still not eliminated, the
monitor should, if possible, be checked on another computer.
If you are unable to solve the problem, please inform our help desk.

The standard of production techniques today cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen
display. A few isolated constant lit or unlit pixels (picture elements) may be present. The maximum
permitted number of pixels faults is stipulated in the stringent international standard ISO 13406-2
(Class II).
Examples:
A 17" or 19" flat-screen monitor with a resolution of 1280 x 1024 has 1280 x 1024 = 1310720 pixels.
Each pixel consists of three subpixels (red, green and blue), so there are almost 4 million subpixels
in total. In accordance with ISO 13406-2 (Class II), a maximum of 6 pixels and 7 subpixels may be
faulty.
A 20" flat-screen monitor with a resolution of 1600 x 1200 has 1600 x 1200 = 1920000 pixels. In
accordance with ISO 13406-2 (Class II), a maximum of 8 pixels and 10 subpixels may be faulty.
Pixel A pixel consists of 3 subpixels, normally red, green and blue. A pixel
is the smallest element that can be generated by complete
functionality of the display.
Subpixel A subpixel is a separately addressable internal structure within a pixel
that enhances the pixel function.
