2. FEATURES
The HERCULES Prophetview 720 is a high quality, 15-inch TFT-LCD (Thin Film
Transistor - Liquid Crystal Display) monitor that works in conjunction with standard VGA
graphics boards.
Your Prophetview 720 offers a large display area and is suitable for use as a 17" class
monitor, at a recommended resolution of 1024x768 pixels.
Distortion-free and unsusceptible to electromagnetic interference, the Prophetview 720’s
sharp, lifelike picture, wide viewing angle and space-saving design make it the ultimate
monitor for home or business users!
! TFT-LCD monitor
The Prophetview 720’s sleek 15-inch LCD panel (equivalent to a 17-inch CRT monitor)
takes up very little space on your desktop, leaving more room available for other
peripheral devices.
Desk space can now be used more efficiently than ever, thanks to the panel’s
impressive depth of only 2cm (14cm with stand)!
! Plug and Play compatible
Your Prophetview 720 conforms to the VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association)
standard and DDC1/2B. The picture adjustment function allows the image quality to be
adjusted to match the input signal.
! Low power consumption
Your Prophetview 720 features very low power consumption (<30W in power on mode,
<4W in standby mode) and auto power switch (100~240V).
FRANÇAIS ESPAÑOLITALIANOHOTLINE PORTUGUÊSNEDERLAND ENGLISHDEUTSCH

system. You may either use the auto-adjust function or manually adjust the advanced
settings.
! Environmentally friendly
Power consumption can be reduced by using your monitor in combination with a
computer that conforms to the VESA DPMS (Display Power Management Signalling)
standard.

! Unplug the monitor’s power cord and disconnect it from your computer before
