• 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 40 cm and no further away than 70 cm from your eyes. The optimal distance is 50 cm.

• 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 anti-glare filter.

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

• 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.

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

• Get regular eye checkups.

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 Colour Setting.

• Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate between 60 Hz and 75 Hz.

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

Cleaning the LCD Panel

• When the liquid crystal panel is stained with dust or dirt, please wipe with soft cloth gently.

• Please do not rub the LCD panel with hard material.

• Please do not apply pressure to the LCD surface.

• Please do not use any office environment cleaner or medical disinfectants. It will cause deterioration or discolor on the LCD surface.

Cleaning the Cabinet

• Unplug the power supply

• Gently wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth

•To clean the cabinet, dampen the cloth with a neutral detergent and water, wipe the cabinet and follow with a dry cloth.

NOTE: Many plastics are used on the surface of the cabinet. DO NOT clean with benzene, thinner, alkaline detergent,

alcoholic system detergent, glass cleaner, wax, polish cleaner, soap powder, or insecticide. Do not touch rubber or vinyl to the cabinet for a long time. These types of fluids and fabrics can cause the paint to deteriorate, crack or peel.

Features

Ambix3 Technology: Triple input technology allowing up to 3 input sources to be connected to a single monitor. The DVI-I connector

supports both analog and digital input signals. Legacy analog input is supported using a traditional 15-pin VGA connector. Ambix3 provides traditional technology compatibility for analog as well as DVI-based digital compatibility for digital inputs. DVI-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 committe 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.

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.

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

OmniColor: Combines Six-axis colour control and the sRGB standard. Six-axis colour control permits colour adjustments via six axes (R, G, B, C, M and Y) rather than through the three axes (R, G and B) previously available. The sRGB standard provides the monitor with a uniform colour profile. This assures that the colours displayed on the monitor are exactly the same as on the colour printout (with sRGB supporting operating system and sRGB printer). This allows you to adjust the colours on your screen and customise the colour accuracy of your monitor to a variety of standards.

OSD (On-Screen-Display) Controls: Allow you to quickly and easily adjust all elements of your screen image via simple to use onscreen menus.

ErgoDesign Features: Enhance human ergonomics to improve the working environment, protect the health of the user and save money. Examples include OSD controls for quick and easy image adjustments, tilt base for preferred angle of vision, small footprint and compliance with MPRII and TCO guidelines for lower emissions.

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.

IPM (Intelligent Power Manager) System: Provides innovative power-saving methods 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 costs, reducing emissions and lowering the air conditioning costs of the workplace.

Multiple Frequency Technology: Automatically adjusts monitor to the display card’s scanning frequency, thus displaying the resolution required.

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

Wide Viewing Angle Technology: Allows the user to be able to see the monitor from any angle (178 degrees) from any orientation —

Portrait or Landscape. Provides full 178° viewing angles either up, down, left or right.

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.

CableComp automatic long cable compensation prevents image quality degradation caused by long cable lengths.

No-touch Auto Adjust (Analog input only): No-touch auto adjust automatically adjusts the monitor to optimal settings upon initial

setup.

sRGB Color Control: A new optimized colour management standard which allows for colour matching on computer displays and other peripherals. The sRGB, which is based on the calibrated colour space, allows for optimal colour representation and backward compatibility with other common colour standards.

Digital Uniformity Control: This feature compensates for slight variations in the white uniformity level that may occur on the screen and improves the colour and evens out the luminance uniformity of the display.

Over Drive: Improved gray to gray response.

Adjustable stand with pivot capability: Adds flexibility to your viewing preferences.

Quick Release stand: Allows fast removal.

Troubleshooting

No picture

• The signal cable should be completely connected to the display card/computer.

• The display card should be completely seated in its slot.

• Check the Vacation Switch should be in the ON position.

• Front Power Switch and computer power switch should be in the ON position.

• Check to make sure that a supported mode has been selected on the display card or system being used. (Please consult display card or system manual to change graphics mode.)

• Check the monitor and your display card with respect to compatibility and recommended settings.

• Check the signal cable connector for bent or pushed-in pins.

• Check the signal input, “DVI-D”, “DVI-I” or “D-Sub”.

• Ensure the DVI input mode is set to DIGITAL when an Apple Mac digital output is connected to the DVI-I connector.

• If the front LED is blinking amber, check the status of the IPM mode (see page 11).

• Unplug the power cord of the monitor from the AC outlet to turn off and reset the monitor.

• Check the Vacation Switch on the left side of the monitor.

Image Persistence

• Image persistence is 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 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.

Message “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed (screen is either blank or shows rough images only)

• Image is displayed only roughly (pixels are missing) and OSD warning “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed: Either signal clock or resolution is too high. Choose one of the supported modes.

• OSD warning “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed on a blank screen: Signal frequency is out of range. Choose one of the supported modes.

Image is unstable, unfocused or swimming is apparent

• Signal cable should be completely attached to the computer.

• Use the OSD Image Adjust controls to focus and adjust display by increasing or decreasing the fine total. When the display mode is changed, the OSD Image Adjust settings may need to be readjusted.

• Check the monitor and your display card with respect to compatibility and recommended signal timings.

• If your text is garbled, change the video mode to non-interlace and use 60Hz refresh rate.

LED on monitor is not lit (

no green, blue or amber colour can be seen

)

• Power Switch should be in the ON position and power cord should be connected.

Picture is not as bright

• Make sure ECO MODE, AUTO BRIGHTNESS, and COLORCOMP is turned off.

• If the brightness fluctuates make sure AUTO BRIGHTNESS is turned off.

Display image is not sized properly

• Use the OSD Image Adjust controls to increase or decrease the Coarse total.

• Check to make sure that a supported mode has been selected on the display card or system being used. (Please consult display card or system manual to change graphics mode.)

No Video

• If no video is present on the screen, turn the Power button off and on again.

• Make certain the computer is not in a power-saving mode (touch the keyboard or mouse).

Self Diagnosis

• The LCD display is equipped with the ability to self diagnose abnormalities. When the LCD detects a problem, the LED on the front flashes in a pattern of long and short blinks, depending on the type of problem detected.

• If the LED indicates a problem, please refer service to qualified personnel.
