Setup
Hardware Requirements
This monitor requires a computer with a suitable on-board sub-system or
Video Adapter card that can support SXGA 1280 x 1024, XGA 1024 x 768,
SVGA 800 x 600, or VGA 640 x 480 at 60 Hz. For optimal performance, the
recommended video setting is 1280 x 1024 at 60 Hz. The monitor has the
capability to receive input either from an analog graphics adapter or a Digital
Visual Interface DVI-D graphics adapter. If your PC is not already equipped
with a suitable graphics adapter, you must install one. If needed, contact
your dealer to purchase a compatible graphics adapter.
Handling Instructions
Do not support the monitor
within the screen area. The
Liquid Crystal Display is
glass and can be damaged
by rough handling or
excessive pressure.
1.Lift the monitor by placing your hands where indicated below.
2.Before using your monitor for the first time, remove the clear protective

Orientation
Choose a position that gives the least reflection from lights and windows,
usually at a right angle to any windows. The monitor should be positioned
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.

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
You should sit back in your chair and use the backrest.
Hands
Adjust the seat height so that your forearms are approximately horizontal and
your wrists are straight when using the keyboard. Your upper arms should be
relaxed with your elbows near your body.

T84H_setup0926_final.fm Page 4 Thursday, October 5, 2000 8:45 AM
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 this 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 15 for more information.
Caring for your Monitor
Be sure to turn off the power before you perform any maintenance on the
monitor. Clean your monitor as follows:
•Gently wipe the device covers and the screen with a soft cloth.
•Remove finger marks and grease with a damp cloth and mild detergent;
do not use solvents or abrasives
•Never use flammable cleaning material to clean your IBM monitor or any
other electrical apparatus.

Auto Setup
Before carrying out this
section, it is very
important that The
Setup Diskette for Windows
95 or Windows 98 has been
run. (see page6)
The Setup Utility
included on the setup
diskette is for displaying do
patterns. They do not replace
or modify the display dirver.
The Auto Setup
instructions require the
monitor to be warmed up for
15 minutes. This is not
required for normal operation.
When you first use your monitor you must perform Auto Setup. 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 optimise the displayed image a set-up utility is provided on the IBM
Monitor Installation Diskette. Operation of the utility is dependent on the
operating system on your PC. For correct operation locate the operating
system on your PC from the table below and follow the appropriate
instructions. 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.
Operating SystemCorresponding Auto Setup procedure

Before you begin AUTO SETUP for your PC:
1.Make a backup copy of the setup diskettes supplied with the monitor.
2.Make sure the PC’s video mode is set in the range of the supported
screen resolution shown in the table on page18.
You should perform AUTO SETUP for each screen mode you use.

Further Information
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 × 1024 addressability at 60Hz vertical refresh rate.
For the display modes listed below, the screen image has been optimized
during manufacture.
