Introduction

The colour monitor displays sharp images of text and graphics with a
maximum resolution up to 1280x1024 pixels. It is optimal for Windows,
CAD / CAM / CAE, desktop publishing, spread sheets, multi-media,
and any other application which demands large screen size and high
resolutions.

This monitor automatically scans horizontal frequencies from 30KHz to
69KHz, and vertical frequencies from 50Hz to 120Hz. With
microprocessor based digital controlled circuit, the monitor can
automatically adjust itself to the video card’s scanning frequency and
displays an image with precise parameters you desire. The wide range
of scanning frequency supports variety of operating platforms, such as
IBM PC and compatibles.

Feature Highlights

• On-Screen-Display function provides more informations when the

user operates the control functions. This feature provides user­friendliness and ease-of-use when operating the monitor.

• Anti-Glare and Anti-Static screen coating eliminate any bad effects

caused by the screen surface such as reflection of the room lights
and dust attraction.

• Green Design including automatic power saving function (NUTEK)

and low emission MPRII compliance shows our commitment in
environmental care.

• DDC1/DDC2B allows communication between the monitor and PC

system for optimal video configuration.

Sub Menu-5: SPECIAL

● Manual Degauss : Discoloration of the image can be caused

by gradual magnetization of the monitor
components. This is particularly likely to
occur when the monitor is moved or rotated.
The monitor may "buzz" momentarily when
the user control is selected and the image
will change color and wobble for a few
seconds. These effects are normal.

(B) User mode

In addition to factory preset modes, the monitor can also provides
additional 11 User-defined modes.

If the input video signal is different from our factory-preset modes,the
new timing data will be automatically stored. However, the displayed
parameters may need to be adjusted. User can adjust the parameters
via OSD, as preceding procedures which already described on
"Adjustment via On-Screen-Display" section.

(C) New mode

The monitor is reversed for 4 new modes in case non-standard video
modes are used.

Automatic Power Saving

If you have VESA's DPMS compliance display card or software installed
in your PC, the monitor can automatically reduce its power consumption
when not in use. And if an input from keyboard, mouse or other input
devices is detected, the monitor will automatically “wake up”. The
following table shows the power consumption and signalling of this
automatic power saving feature:

Power Management Definition
