1. Preface
The mermaid ventura 213T and 240T are state of the art high-tech flat panel TFT monitors with resolutions of 1600x1200 and 1920x1200 respectively.

2. Important information
Both the 213T and the 240T require a high quality graphics board which incorporates a high bandwidth (the ability to generate a high quality VGA signal even at high resolutions). In general, older type graphic boards are not suitable to drive the 213T and 240T. The mermaid ventura 213T is less demanding than the 240T and therefore can be driven by larger variety of graphics boards. Furthermore, it is important to use cables of good quality and to keep the analog VGA as short as possible.
If you should decide to drive the monitor by means of DVI, a graphics board with DVI-D or DVI-I output is required. It is also recommended to use a DVI graphics board which is compatible with the newest DVI 2.XX standard. Older versions have shown to be incompatible and may provide problems.
When using the monitors with Windows XP, it is recommended that the refresh rate be set to 60 Hz before connecting the 213T or 240T.
Please save the packaging. It has been designed to provide optimal support and protection for the monitor during transportation.
