Using the Auto Brightness function

The brightness of the LCD screen can be set to increase or decrease depending on the

amount of ambient light within the room. If the room is bright, the monitor becomes correspondingly bright. If the room is dim, then the monitor will dim accordingly. The purpose of this function is to make the viewing experience more comfortable to the eye in a variety of lighting conditions.

The Auto Brightness function is set to OFF by default.

SETUP

Use the following procedure to determine the Brightness Range that the monitor will use when the Auto Brightness function is activated.

1. Set the BRIGHT level. This is the brightness level that the monitor will go up to when the ambient light level is highest. Make sure the room is at its brightest when setting this level.

Select “ON” in the AUTO BRIGHTNESS menu. (Figure 1) Then use the front buttons to move the cursor up to the BRIGHTNESS setting. Choose the desired brightness level. (Figure 2).

2. Set the DARK level. This is the level of brightness that the monitor will go down to when the ambient light level is low. Make sure the room is at its darkest when setting this level.

Then use the front buttons to move the cursor up to the BRIGHTNESS setting. Choose the desired brightness level. (Figure 3).

Safety Precautions and Maintenance

FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE, PLEASE NOTE THE

FOLLOWING WHEN SETTING UP AND USING

THE MULTISYNC® LCD COLOR MONITOR:

• DO NOT OPEN THE MONITOR. There are no user serviceable parts inside and opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous shock hazards or other risks. Refer all servicing to qualiﬁed service personnel.

• Do not spill any liquids into the cabinet or use your monitor near water.

• Do not insert objects of any kind into the cabinet slots, as they may touch dangerous voltage points, which can be harmful or fatal or may cause electric shock, ﬁre or equipment failure.

• Do not place any heavy objects on the power cord. Damage to the cord may cause shock or ﬁre.

• Do not place this product on a sloping or unstable cart, stand or table, as the monitor may fall, causing serious damage to the monitor.

• When operating the MultiSync LCD monitor with its AC 125-240V power supply, use a power supply cord that matches the power supply voltage of the AC power outlet being used. The power supply cord you use must have been approved by and comply with the safety standards of your country. (Type H05VV-F should be used in Europe)

• In UK, use a BS-approved power cord with molded plug having a black (5A) fuse installed for use with this monitor. If a power cord is not supplied with this monitor, please contact your supplier.

• Do not place any objects onto the monitor and do not use the monitor outdoors.

• The inside of the ﬂuorescent tube located within the LCD monitor contains mercury. Please follow the bylaws or rules of your municipality to dispose of the tube properly.

• Do not bend power cord.

• Do not use monitor in very hot, humid, dusty, or oily areas.

• Do not cover vents on monitor.

• If monitor or glass is broken, handle with care. Do not come in contact with the liquid crystal.

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 damaged.

CAUTION

• Handle with care when transporting. Save packaging for transporting.

Image Persistence

Image persistence is when a residual or “ghost” image of a previous image remains visible on the screen. Unlike CRT monitors, LCD monitorsʼ image persistence is not permanent, but constant images 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.

• If the monitor does not operate normally by following operating instructions.

• Allow adequate ventilation around the monitor so that heat can properly dissipate. Do not block ventilated openings or place the monitor near a radiator or other heat sources. Do not put anything on top of monitor.

• The power cable connector is the primary means of detaching the system from the

supply. The monitor should be installed close to a power outlet which is easily accessible.

CORRECT PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR

CAN REDUCE EYE, SHOULDER AND NECK FATIGUE. CHECK

THE FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION THE MONITOR:

• For optimum performance, allow 20 minutes for warm-up.

• 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 16 inches and no further away than 28 inches from your eyes. The optimal distance is 20 inches.

• Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at least 20 feet away. Blink often.

• 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 antiglare ﬁlter.

• Clean the LCD monitor surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using any cleaning solution or glass cleaner!

• Adjust the monitorʼs 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.

• Avoid displaying ﬁxed patterns on the monitor for long periods of time to avoid image persistence (after-image effects).

• Get regular eye checkups.

Recommended Use – continued

Ergonomics

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

• Adjust the Brightness until the background raster disappears.

• 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 with a vertical refresh rate more than 60Hz.

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

Features

Ambix Technology: Dual input technology allowing both analog and digital inputs off of one connector (DVI-I) as well as additional legacy analog support off of a traditional 15-pin mini D-SUB connector. Provides traditional MultiSync technology compatibility for analog as well as TMDS.-based (Transition Minimized Differential Signaling) digital compatibility for digital inputs. TMDS-based digital interfaces include DVI-D,DFP and P&D.

DVI-I: The integrated interface ratiﬁed by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) that allows both digital and analog connectors off of one port. The “I” stands for integration for both digital and analog, The digital portion is DVI-based.

DVI-D: The digital-only subset of DVI ratiﬁed by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) for digital connections between computers and displays. As a digital-only connector, analog support is not provided off a DVI-D connector. As a DVI-based digital only connection, only a simple adapter is necessary for compatibility between DVI-D and other DVI-based digital connectors such as DFP and P&D.

DFP (Digital Flat Panel): An all-digital interface for ﬂat panel monitors which is signal compatible with DVI. As a DVI-based digital only connection, only a simple adapter is necessary for compatibility between DFP and other DVI-based digital connectors such as DVI and P&D.

P&D (Plug and Display): The VESA standard for digital ﬂat panel monitor interfaces. It is more robust than DFP since it allows for other options off a signal connector (options like USB, analog video and IEEE-1394-995). The VESA committee has recognized that DFP is a subset of P&D. As a DVI-based connector (for the digital input pins), only a simple adapter is necessary for compatibility between P&D and other DVI-based digital connector such as DVI and DFP.

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.
