English−6

Image Persistence

Image persistence occurs when a residual or “ghost” image of a previous image remains visible on the screen. Unlike CRT
monitors, LCD monitors’ image persistence is not permanent, but a still image being displayed for a long period of time should
be avoided.

To alleviate image persistence, turn off the monitor for as long as the previous image was displayed. For example, if an image
was on the monitor for one hour and a residual image remains, the monitor should be turned off for one hour to erase the image.

NOTE:  As with all personal display devices, NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS recommends using a moving screen saver at regular

intervals whenever the screen is idle, or turn off the monitor when not in use.

English

English−7

Ergonomics

CORRECT PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR CAN

REDUCE EYE, SHOULDER, AND NECK FATIGUE. CHECK THE

FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION THE MONITOR:

To realize the maximum ergonomics benefits, we recommend the following:

• For optimum performance of the monitor, allow 20 minutes for warming up. Avoid
reproduction of still patterns on the monitor for long periods of time to avoid image
persistence (after image effects).

• Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye level.
Your eyes should look slightly downward when viewing the middle of the screen.

• Position your monitor no closer than 40 cm (15.75 inches) and no further away than
70 cm (27.56 inches) from your eyes. The optimal distance is 50 cm (19.69 inches).

• Rest your eyes periodically for 5 to 10 minutes for every 1 hour by focusing on an object
at least 20 feet away.

• Position the monitor at a 90° angle to windows and other light sources to minimize glare
and reflections. Adjust the monitor tilt so that ceiling lights do not reflect on your screen.

• If reflected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use an anti-glare filter.

• Adjust the monitor’s brightness and contrast controls to enhance readability.

• Use a document holder placed close to the screen.

• Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen or reference material) directly in front of you to minimize
turning your head while you are typing.

• Blink often. Eye exercise helps to reduce eye strain. Please contact your ophthalmologist. Get regular eye checkups.

• To avoid eye fatigue, adjust the brightness to a moderate setting. Place a sheet of white paper next to the LCD screen for
luminance reference.

• Do not position the Contrast control to its maximum setting.

• Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals.

• Use the preset Color Setting.

• Use non-interlaced signals.

• Do not use primary color blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see and may produce eye fatigue due to insufficient
contrast.

• Suitable for entertainment purposes at controlled luminous environments, to avoid disturbing reflections from the screen.

About the SpectraView engine picture modes

The SpectraView engine (SVE) is a custom color processor engine integrated in the monitor. It combines individual
characterization and calibration of the monitor during production together with temperature and time monitoring, to provide an
unparalleled level of color control, accuracy and stability.

The SVE provides the utmost in versatility; from faster and more advanced color calibration to the ability to accurately emulate
colorspaces such as Adobe®RGB and sRGB, to performing printer output emulations using ICC Profiles and internal 3D Look
Up Tables.

Each individual [Picture mode] can store fully customized color settings. This allows you to quickly switch between different
settings by just changing between picture modes.

Using the SVE will also give access to other advanced functionality, such as the ability to emulate several modes of human color
vision deficiency as well as the ability to select the monitor’s output color gamut.

To change picture mode preset:

Each [Picture mode] uses an SVE preset. Presets have been configured with settings for general use as described in the

“Preset Types” table. When choosing a preset for the picture mode, all of the settings are immediately adjusted to match the

preset. Each setting can be individually adjusted to customize as needed.

1. Touch the Menu key.

Running Stand-alone calibration

This feature performs color calibration of the monitor without using an external computer or software. This is useful for color
matching a small number of monitors quickly. It also updates the factory color measurement data used by the monitor’s internal
SpectraView engine (SVE) color processor.

Updating the factory color data with measurements taken from a color sensor results in color related settings, shown on the
OSD, closely matching measurements from the color sensor. In effect, the color sensor’s measurements become the new
reference for all of the SVE’s internal color calculations. All color presets in the monitor automatically update to use the new
reference.

Requirements for Stand Alone Calibration:

• NEC MDSVSENSOR3 color sensor. This sensor connects directly to the SENS/MEM port on the monitor. The monitor
automatically takes screen measurements directly from the color sensor. See Appendix A for purchase and availability
information.

Or

• A near-range colorimeter with a measurement readout display in CIE Y/x, y format with Y in units of cd/m2. Measurements
are taken manually and each reading must be entered into the monitor via the OSD. [Validation] and [White copy] are not
available.

NOTE: Other color sensor models and types are not supported.

NOTE: • For best calibration results, it is recommended the monitor be allowed to warm up for at least 30 minutes before

starting the calibration or measurement process.

• It is not necessary to recalibrate the other Picture modes in the monitor after performing the Self calibration.

Updating the monitor’s internal reference automatically updates all color settings.

• The original factory measurements can be recalled at any time.

• Differences between the factory color measurements and those taken with a color sensor are to be expected.

Differences can be due to many factors, such as variations between color sensor measurement technologies and
device calibration and drift, measurement position on the screen, and video signal differences.

English

To open the Stand Alone Calibration OSD menu:

The stand-alone calibration menu automatically opens when connecting a supported USB color sensor to the SENS/MEM port.
It can also be opened from the OSD picture menu as follows:

1. Touch the Menu key.

2. Navigate to the [Picture] menu then highlight the [Calibration] function.

3. Touch the > key to highlight [Calibration].

4. Touch the Set key to open the [Stand-Alone Calibration] menu.

Select a function on the menu and follow the instructions on the OSD message.

Self calibration

BA

This function updates the monitor’s internal SpectraView engine color processor to use measurements taken using a supported
color sensor device. These measurements will become the reference for all color settings in the monitor.

When an NEC MDSVSENSOR3 color sensor is connected to the monitor’s SENS/MEM port, the monitor takes measurements
and is calibrated automatically. Place the color sensor at the center of the screen and follow the messages displayed.

Otherwise, if using a near-range colorimeter device, measurements must be taken manually with the device and the CIE Y/x/y
values individually entered via the OSD. Y is in units of cd/m2.

Depending on the monitor usage and other factors, performing a [Self calibration] at least once per year is recommended.

Reset calibration

This deletes the color measurement data created by the [Self calibration] function and returns to the original factory internal
reference color measurement data. All picture modes will automatically be updated.

Validation*

This can be used to determine if the Self Calibration operation should be performed.

It compares measurements taken of various color patches on the screen by the color sensor with the expected values calculated
by the SVE, which uses the current internal reference color measurement data. The result of this comparison is indicated as an
average color difference (dE) value. Larger values mean there is a larger difference between the measurements and the internal
reference. If the dE value is higher than 3.0 , Self Calibration is recommended to update the internal reference color data.

*: The Self Calibration function must have been previously performed before this function is available on the OSD menu.

White copy

This function measures the luminance and white point of the target monitor (A) and sets the values to the current picture mode
of this monitor (B). Using this feature reduces the variation between different displays allowing them to match each other more
closely.

Image Persistence

English

Please be aware that LCD Technology may experience a phenomenon known as Image Persistence. Image Persistence occurs
when a residual or “ghost” image of a previous image remains visible on the screen. Unlike CRT monitors, the image persistence
on LCD monitors is not permanent, but single still image being displayed for a long period of time should be avoided.

To alleviate image persistence, turn off the monitor for as long as the previous image was displayed. For example, if an image
was on the monitor for one hour and a residual image remains, the monitor should be turned off for one hour to erase the image.

NOTE:  As with all personal display devices, NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS recommends using a moving screen saver at regular

intervals whenever the screen is idle, or turning off the monitor when not in use.

Emulation

*1

3D LUT Emulation The 3D LUT (Look Up Table) is a three-dimensional table that maps colors into different color spaces. This

function can apply your custom 3D LUT (Look Up Table) data to the video signal.

For example, this allows print previews or cinematic or color grading effects to be performed within the
monitor itself.

This feature is used with supporting software, which also uploads the 3D LUTs to the monitor.

ON: Applies the imported 3D LUT data to video signal.

OFF: Does not apply the imported 3D LUT data.

Compare: In this mode, colors that lie outside the boundaries of the 3D LUT are shown in gray. It is

useful for determining out of gamut colors.

Color vision emulation Previews various typical human vision deficiencies and is useful for evaluating how people who have such

deficiencies will perceive colors.

This preview is available in types:

• P (Protanopia)

• D (Deuteranopia)

• T (Tritanopia)

Grayscale can be used for evaluating contrast legibility.

NOTE: Depending on the vision of the user, including those with color vision deficiency, there will be

a variation in how the screen’s color is seen and experienced. A simulation is used to illustrate
the view of those with a color vision deficiency. It is not their actual view. The simulation is a
reproduction of those with a strong color vision mode of type P, type D or type T. People with a
slight color vision deficiency will experience little to no difference compared to those with normal
color vision.

6 Axis color trim

With these controls, the standard color circle is divided into 6 separate ranges/areas: Reds, Yellows,
Greens, Cyans, Blues, and Magentas. Each range can be individually adjusted in Hue, Saturation, and
Offset (Brightness) for specific matching purposes. Neutral colors (grays) will not be impacted.

Red (Hue/Sat./Offset) Hue: Changes the actual color within its range on the color wheel without changing the
