For digital input, setup is not required.
When you first use your monitor, you must perform Auto Setup for analog
input. If you are using digital input, continue with the instructions on page
14. This procedure sets up your monitor to process the video signals from
your computer without image discoloration or smearing. After you perform
Auto Setup, the settings are stored and used each time you turn on the
monitor.
In order to optimize the displayed image a set-up utility is provided on the
IBM Monitor CD. Operation of this utility is dependent on the operating
system on your computer. You may choose to run AUTO SETUP for each
operating system that you use. This means that if you sometimes use your
monitor while running any version of Windows and sometimes also use it
from within DOS (not a DOS window), you must run AUTO SETUP for both
Windows and DOS. You may run versions of AUTO SETUP in any order.
Before you begin AUTO SETUP for your computer:
1. Make a backup copy of the setup CD supplied with the monitor.
2. Make sure the computer video mode is set in the range of the
supported screen resolution shown in the table on page 20.
You should perform AUTO SETUP for each screen mode you use.

This section gives advice
on how you can work
comfortably and reduce
fatigue.
Rest
Take regular breaks. Vary your posture, stand up and stretch occasionally
as prolonged use of computer workstations can be tiring.
Back
Sit back in your chair and use the backrest.
Hands
Use a light touch on the keyboard, keeping your hands and fingers relaxed.
Allow a space in front of the keyboard to rest your wrists when not typing.
Consider using a wristpad.
Eyesight
Working with monitors, in common with any prolonged close work, can be
visually demanding. Look away from the screen periodically and have your
eyesight checked regularly.
Screen settings
Set the screen brightness and contrast to a comfortable level. You may
have to adjust these settings as the lighting changes during the day. Many
application programs let you select color combinations which can help you
to view in comfort. See the User controls section on page 16 for more
information.
Working Practices
i
This section gives advice
on what you should
consider before you set up
your monitor.
Workplace Preparation
Height
Position the monitor so that the top of the screen is slightly below your eye
level when you sit at your workstation.
Orientation
- Choose a position that gives the least reflection from lights and windows,
usually at a right angle to any windows.
- Positon the monitor directly in front of you so that you do not have to twist
your body to use it.
- Tilt the monitor to a comfortable viewing angle.
Ergonomic Considerations
ENGLISH
15
Be sure to turn off the power before you perform any maintenance on the
monitor. Clean your monitor as follows:
• Gently wipe the covers and the screen with a soft cloth.
• Remove finger marks and grease with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
• Never use flammable cleaning materials to clean your IBM monitor or
any other electrical apparatus.

If your computer has
previously been used with
a CRT monitor and is currently
configured to a display mode
outside the range that the Flat
Panel monitor can display, you
may need to re-attach the CRT
monitor temporarily until you
have reconfigured the
computer, preferably to 1280 x
1024 at 60Hz.
The display mode the monitor uses is controlled by the computer. Therefore,
you should refer to your computer documentation for details on how to
change display modes.
The image size, position and shape may change when the display mode
changes. This is normal and the image can be readjusted using AUTO SETUP
and the monitor controls.
Unlike CRT monitors, which require a high refresh rate to minimize flicker,
TFT technology is inherently flicker-free. If possible, configure your computer
for 1280 x 1024 addressability at 60Hz vertical refresh rate.
For the display modes listed below, the screen image has been optimized
during manufacture.

To benefit from power management, the monitor must be used in
conjunction with a computer that implements the Video Electronics
Standards Association (VESA) Display Power Management Signaling
(DPMS) Standard.
The power management feature is invoked when the computer recognizes
that you have not used your mouse or keyboard for a user-definable period.
There are several states as described in the table below.
As an ENERGY STAR 2000®Partner, IBM has determined that this product
meets the ENERGY STAR 2000®guidelines for energy efficiency.
IBM recommends that you switch off your monitor at the end of each
working day, or whenever you expect to leave it unused for long periods
during the day.
