Introduction to the NEC MultiSync LCD2110

Congratulations on your purchase of the NEC MultiSync LCD2110 true
colour monitor!

NuCycle Plastic

A special silicone compound for PC resin, being extremely flame­retardant, safe and environmentally friendly.

Wide Viewing Angle Technology

Allows the user to be able to see the monitor from any angle(170 degrees)
from any orientation – Portrait or Landscape. Provides full 170˚ viewing
angles either up, down, left or right.

Analog Advantage

Capable of displaying unlimited colours in a continuous spectrum,
providing a truer representation of colour. The monitor’s high contrast
LCD enhances colour vibrancy and improves focus with no geometric
distortion.

English

Wider Compatibility

Because the MultiSync LCD monitor is analog through and through, it
does not require special analog to digital display or interface cards but
can accept RGB input directly.

Reduced Footprint

Provides the ideal solution for environments requiring superior image
quality but with size and weight limitations. The monitor’s small footprint
and low weight allow it to be moved or transported easily from one
location to another.

Colour Control system

Allows you to adjust the colours on your screen and customize the colour
accuracy of your monitor to a variety of standards.

OSM (On-Screen Manager) Controls

Allow you to quickly and easily adjust all elements of your screen image
via simple to use on-sreen menus.

ErgoDesign Features

Enhance human ergonomics to improve the working environment,
protect the health of the user and save money. Examples include OSM
controls for quick and easy image adjustments, tilt/swivel pivot stand
for preferred angle of viewing, small footprint and compliance with
MPRII and TCO guidelines for lower emissions.

Pivoting Stand

Allows users to adjust the monitor to the orientation that best fits their
application, either Landscape orientation for wide documents, or portrait
orientation for the ability to preview a full page on one screen at one
time. The Portrait orientation is also perfect for full screen video
conferencing.

2110

Plug and Play

The Microsoft solution with the Windows operating system facilitates
setup and installation by allowing the monitor to send its capabilities
(such as screen size and resolutions supported) directly to your computer,
automatically optimizing display performance.

Italiano

IPM (Intelligent PowerManager) System

Provides innovative power-saving methodes that allow the monitor to
shift to a lower power consumption level when on but not in use, saving
two-thirds of your monitor energy cost, reducing emissions and lowering
the air conditioning cost of the workplace.

AppendixEspañolFrançaisDeutsch

Multiple frequency Technology

Automatically adjusts monitor to the display card’s scanning frequency,
thus displaying the resolution required up to 1600 x 1200.

FullScan Capability

Allows you to use the entire screen area in most resolutions, significantly
expanding image size.

VESA Standard Mounting Interface

Allows users to connect their MultiSync monitor to any VESA standard
third party mounting arm or bracket. Allows for the monitor to be
mounted on a wall or an arm using any third party compliant device.

BNC/D-SUB

Offers dual inputs, allowing you to connect the monitor to one system
via a BNC cable and a another system via a standard D-Sub cable. You
can easily switch between computers with a touch of a button on the up­front control panel.

protective glass that helps protect your valuable and potentially
fragile LCD panel.
Please note that OptiShield glass is not safety glass and is not
laminated. As with other glass, OptiShield glass may break
into sharp pieces if abused, dropped, or otherwise subjected to
a substantial shock. If OptiShield does break, please use care
to avoid injury.
MultiSync brand monitors equipped with OptiShield glass will
have a reflective surface which, under normal lighting
conditions, can cause eyestrain if viewed for long periods of
time. To avoid eyestrain, we recommend these monitors be
used in applications — such as information kiosks, industrial
plants, machinery control systems, and trading floors — where
the screens will be viewed only intermittently.

Immediately unplug your monitor from the wall outlet and refer servicing
to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.

•

If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the monitor.

•

If the monitor has been exposed to rain or water.

•

If the monitor has been dropped or the cabinet is damaged.

therefore it is delivered without stand. Please use the attached
screws (4pcs) when installing. To fulfil the safety requirements
the monitor must be mounted to an arm which guaranties the
necessary stability under consideration of the weight of the
monitor. The LCD monitor shall only be used with an approved
arm (e.g. GS mark).

CORRECT PLACMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR
CAN REDUCE EYE, SHOULDER AND NECK FATIGUE. CHECK
THE FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION THE MONITOR:

Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the screen is at or

downward when viewing the middle of the screen.

Position your monitor no closer than 40 cm and no further away

•

than 70 cm from your eyes. The optimal distance of MultiSync

2110 is 61 cm.

LCD
Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at least

•

6 m 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 control to enhance

•

readability.
Use a document holder placed close to the screen.

•

Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen

Installation

Connection to your Personal Computer

The MultiSync LCD2110 true colour monitor complements PC compatible
computers. Your system has one of two configurations:

– the video controller is built into the computer.
– the video controller is in the form of a display card (sometimes

referred to as graphics card, video adapter or graphics board).

Both configurations have a video connector (or a CRT PORT on laptop
computers). If you are not sure which connector is the video connector,
refer to your computer or display card manual.

To attach the MultiSync LCD2110 monitor to your system,
follow these instructions:

1. Turn off the power to your computer.
Connect the 15-pin mini D-SUB of the appropriate signal

2.

the back of the monitor.
If you are using the supplied video signal cable, continue to step 4.
If you are using a 15-pin mini D-SUB cable (not included), please
skip to Step 5.

4. Connect the red BNC cable to the BNC connector on the
monitor labeled R, the green BNC cable to the BNC connector
labeled G/Sync, the blue BNC cable to the BNC connector
labeled B. If you have a fourth BNC connector (Composite
Sync), connect it to the BNC connector on the monitor labeled
HS/CS. If you have a fifth BNC connector (Vertical Sync),
connect it to the BNC connector on the monitor labeled VS

(Figure C.1). Place the 15-pin VGA to BNC Cable under clip
A (Figure D.1A). Then place the 15-pin VGA to BNC cable
under Clip B (FigureD.1B).

5. Connect the D-SUB cable to D-SUB connector on the back of
the monitor (Figure C.2).

6. Replace connector cover.

NOTE: Incorrect cable connections may result in irregular operation,
damage display quality/components of LCD module and/or shorten the
module’s life.

7. Connect one end of the power cord to the AC Adapter and the
other end to the power outlet (Figure E.1).

8. Turn on the monitor (Figure F.1) and the computer.

* Interpolated Resolutions: when resolutions are shown that are lower than the pixel
count of the LCD module, text may appear choppy or lines may appear to be bold. This
is normal and necessary for all current flat panel technologies, each dot on the screen is
actually one pixel, so to expand resolutions to full screen, an interpolation of the resolution
must be done. When the interpolated resolutions is not an exact multiple of the native
resolution, the mathematical interpolation necessary may cause some lines to appear
thicker than others.
