ENGLISH

17

Using Your Display

ENGLISH

This chapter contains information about using your LCD Monitor.

Turning the Display On and Off

Use the power button located at the lower right side of the front panel of the display to
turn the display on and off. When the display is on, the light (LED) near the Power button
is illuminated. The light is green when both the display and PC are active and amber
when the display is in a reduced power mode.

If your PC supplies power saving signals to the display, the display’s power
management features reduce power consumption to low levels when your PC goes into
its power-saving mode. See “Minimizing Power Consumption” on page 20 for more
information.

If your PC doesn’t use industry standard power-save signaling techniques, you can
reduce power consumption by turning off the display when it won’t be used for an
extended period. You can turn the display off even if you leave your PC in running.

Note: Because of the technology used in LCD panels, screen savers will not

prolong the life of your display. So if the display will not be used for an
extended period, be sure to turn it off.

Warning

To completely disconnect power from your display, you must remove
the power cord from the wall outlet and then remove the power cable
from the display.

18

Tilting the Display

The monitors have a tilt feature that allows you to tilt the display back and forth as well
as left and right to find the most comfortable viewing position. To tilt the display, grasp
the sides and push the display back or pull it toward you, or turn it left or right until it is in
the desired position. The display can be tilted 20º backward and 5º forward.

ENGLISH

Note:

Do not tilt the display by grasping the top edge.

Setting the Video Mode

Since the inherent format of this display is 1280 pixels by 1024 lines, the display will
perform best when your PC is set to a screen resolution of 1280 x 1024. If you use a
lower resolution (such as 640 x 480), the image is expanded to fill the screen.

Your display supports many common video modes, as shown in “Video Modes” on page

29. Check the documentation supplied with your PC and video adapter card to find out

which modes they support.

To see what the video mode in your Microsoft Windows, please check Windows’ settings
in your PC.

Setting the Refresh Rate

The image refresh rate is the number of times per second that the image is refreshed; it
is also known as the vertical frequency.

On standard CRT displays, we recommend that you should use the highest possible

19

refresh rate supported by your PC at the current screen resolution. This is necessary to
avoid screen flickering and to minimize eyestrain. However, with your LCD Monitor,
flicker is not an issue. It is flick-free at all supported refresh rates.

The table in “Video Mode” on page 29 shows the image refresh rates supported by the

ENGLISH

display at different screen resolution. Although your LCD monitor supports up to 75 Hz
for analog video input, we recommend that you use 60 Hz refresh rate for best
performance.

To set the refresh rate with a standard Windows installation, follow the steps mentioned
in your Windows’s or graphic card’s user’s manual.

Minimizing Power Consumption

Many PCs support industry standard power-save signaling techniques. Power
management features reduce the display’s power consumption after a period of
keyboard inactivity.

When the display is in a power-saving mode, the screen is blank and the power indicator
is amber. Pressing a key on the keyboard or moving the mouse restores the image in
several seconds. Consult your PC documentation for information about setting the
power-saving modes.

The display accepts the signals for standard power-saving mode, when PC go into
power saving mode . The display will go into power saving.

Caring for and Cleaning the Display

To maximize screen life and prevent damage to the LCD panel, we recommend that you:

Ö Use the display power management system (if available on your PC).

Ö If you don’t use a power management system, turn off the display when you won’t be

using it for an extended period.

Ö Don’t press, rub, or poke the display with your finger or other object.

Ö Handle your display with care.

Your LCD module is a high-quality optical device that requires special care when
cleaning.

20

Warning

Don’t use liquid, aerosol, or abrasive cleaning solutions to clean the
screen.

To clean the screen:

1. Shut down the PC.

2. Turn off and unplug the display.

3. Gently dust the screen with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth.

Note: If the screen is still dirty, you can dampen the cloth with several drops of

distilled water or lsopropyl rubbing alcohol. Make sure the LCD panel is
completely dry before you turn the display back on.

4. Plug in the display.

5. Turn on your PC and display.

Unknown Video Modes

ENGLISH

Like all other monitors, the your LCD monitor is designed to work with standard video
modes. However, not all video/graphic cards use only standard display modes.

Your LCD monitor uses state-of-the-art technology, which is designed to synchronize to
any display mode. We recommend choosing one of the supported modes listed above. If
you choose an unknown mode, you will need to manually adjust the clock, phase, and
image position.

If you must use an unknown mode, you can run Auto Setup at first. If Auto Setup doesn’t
provide adequate image adjustment, then you must manually adjust the clock, phase,
horizontal position, and vertical position.

TCO’99 STATEMENT

Congratulations!

You have just purchased a TCO'99 approved and labelled product! Your choice has provided you with a
product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the burden on
the environment and also to the further development of environmentally adapted electronics products.

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which provides for an international
environmental and quality labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a
joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska
Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation), Statens Energimyndighet (The
Swedish National Energy Administration) and SEMKO AB.

The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, reduction of
electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical safety.

Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?

In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method for encouraging the
adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The main problem, as far as computers and
other electronics equipment are concerned, is that environmentally harmful substances are used both
in the products and during their manufacture. Since it is not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle
the
majority of electronics equipment, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later
enter nature.

There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are important
from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Since all methods
of electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (e.g. acidic and climate-influencing
emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often left
running continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.

What does the environmental labelling involve?

The environmental demands has been developed by Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish
Society for Nature Conservation). These demands impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy
metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, among
other things. The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an
environmental policy which must be adhered to in each country where the company implements its
operational policy.

The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or display, after a certain period of
inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more stages. The length of time
to reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user.

Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product. The
complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from:

Environmental requirements

Flame retardants

Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. Their
purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing
can consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants con tain bromine or chlor ide, and those
flame retardants are chemically related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame
retardants containing bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to severe health
effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative
processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances
in foetus development may occur.

The relevant TCO'99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must
not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are
allowed in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.

Cadmium**

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating layers of certain computer
displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO'99
requirement states that batteries, the colour-generating layers of display screens and the electrical or
electronics components must not contain any cadmium.

*

Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system and is
toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury.
It also demands that mercury is not present in any of the electrical or electronics components
associated with the labelled unit. There is however one exception. Mercury is, for the time being,
permitted in the back light system of flat panel monitors as there today is no commercially available
alternative. TCO aims on removing this exception when a mercury free alternative is available.

CFCs (freons)

The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the
manufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit
boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing
increased reception on earth of ultraviolet light with e.g. increased risks of skin cancer (malignant
melanoma) as a consequence.

Lead**

Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the
nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. The relevant TCO´99 requirement
permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.

*

Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms

**

Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.
