1. FEATURES
The HERCULES Prophetview 920 is a high quality, 17-inch TFT-LCD (Thin Film Transistor –
Liquid Crystal Display) monitor that works in conjunction with VGA graphics boards (and DVI
graphics boards for the Prophetview 920DVi).
Your Prophetview 920 offers a large display area and is suitable for use as a 19-inch class
monitor, at a recommended resolution of 1280x1024 pixels.
Distortion-free and unsusceptible to electromagnetic interference, the Prophetview 920’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 920’s sleek 17-inch LCD panel (equivalent to a 19-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
28mm!
! Plug and Play compatible
Your Prophetview 920 conforms to the VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) and
DDC1/2B standards. The picture adjustment function allows the image quality to be adjusted to
match the input signal.
! Low power consumption
Your Prophetview 920 features very low power consumption (<35W in power on mode, <4W in
standby mode) and auto power switch (90~264V).
! Easy-to-use On-Screen Display (OSD) menu
Your monitor’s display is easily configurable using the OSD menu and its 4-button system. You
may either use the auto-adjust function or manually adjust the advanced settings.
! Environmentally friendly
As the Prophetview 920 is TCO95 compliant, power consumption can be reduced by using your
monitor in combination with a computer that conforms to the VESA DPMS (Display Power
Management Signaling) standard.
