What You Can Do with This Monitor…

See low-light movie scenes more clearly and add more definition to digital camera images

• Dynamic Visual (DV) Mode: Pages 5, 7, 23 and 30 Dynamic Visual (DV) Mode provides the optimum image quality for different types of content, including movies, games, photographs, and documents. Eight modes are available for PC Input or HDMI Input, and five modes are available for Video Input.

Watch motion images clearly and sharply

• Motion Picture (MP) Mode: Pages 5, 7, 23 and 30

The newly-introduced Motion Picture Optimization Circuit helps to create sharp and less blurry images with during fast motion scenes in games and movies by optimally combining three technologies: black screen insertion, backlight scanning, and pixel overdrive. Four levels of Motion Picture (MP) Mode are available according to the speed of motion in the image.

Enjoy images with less impact on your eyes

• Intelligent Visual (IV) Mode: Pages 24 and 30

Intelligent Visual (IV) Mode reduces the impact on your eyes by automatically controlling the screen brightness based on ergonomic findings such as brightness perception differences according to the users’ age, and average brightness of the current image. Generally, settings for the younger age group are less bright, as their eyes are more sensitive to light.

Experience realistic sound created by the sound analysis and audio signal correction

• DIATONE

Linear Phase Circuit

The newly-installed DIATONE® Linear Phase Circuit analyses the intensity and transmission speed of each frequency from a speaker. Frequency correction characteristics produced from the analyzed data are then applied to reproduce a clear and rich sound.

Switch one computer screen to another on a single monitor

• Dual Input: Page 11

Two computers can be connected to the monitor and the display from each computer can be displayed alternately. Maximum of four computers can be connected when HDMI inputs are used at the same time.

Control brightness and colors

• On Screen Display (OSD) Function: Page 20

On Screen Display (OSD) enables control of screen brightness, image position, size, and colors via the screen. This screen also enables you to set the OSD Function itself (OSD auto-off, OSD lock, etc).

Adjust monitor angle and height

• Monitor Stand Adjustment: Page 16

The monitor is equipped with a specially designed stand. The height of the stand can be altered within a range of 60 mm (at 0° tilt). The stand’s tilt angle can be altered in four directions: up, down, right, and left.

Control LED brightness

• LED Brightness Adjustment Function: Pages 28 and 33

Brightness of the LED indicator can be lowered to reduce disturbance when watching dark scenes in a movie or multiple display usage.

Watch a video while you’re working on the computer

• Picture-In-Picture (PIP) Function: Pages 27 and 33

Picture-In-Picture (PIP) displays a sub-screen within the main screen. This enables you to display a video screen in a computer screen or vise versa. (PIP Function may not be available in some combinations.)

NOTE: An LCD monitor is manufactured with high precision technology and some LCD may have some permanently lit or

unlit dots. This is common to all LCD monitors and not specific to NEC monitors. The effective dot rate* of this monitor is 99.9995% or higher.

* The effective dot rate refers to the percentage of screen dots that NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS guarantees to

function correctly in the entire working dots in a given monitor. According to ISO 13406-2, a picture element is described as a pixel, and a dot is described as a sub-pixel. A pixel consists of three sub-pixels, each of which illuminates red, blue, or green. These sub-pixels provide color and gradation to the corresponding pixel. In other words, a sub-pixel is an intra-pixel component that functions independently of each other.

This monitor displays images generated from signals received from a PC, HDMI, or video input. For details about connections, see “Connection Types” on page 10.

4. Connect the power.

1. Insert the power cord to the power socket of the monitor. Connect the cord securely.

2. Feed the power cord, signal cables, and audio cables connected to the monitor through the cable space at the rear of the stand. Tuck the cables connected to the side of the monitor in the cable gap at the rear of the monitor (this will become a space when the cover is closed) and feed them through the cable space of the stand.

TIP: Tilt the monitor upwards when putting the cables through the cable holes.

This will ensure sufficient cable length when the monitor is tilted back to the vertical position. * These tasks are not required if you do not wish to use these holes for cable management.

3. Attach the rear cover.

TIP: Move the monitor up and down to confirm the cables are secured with sufficient allowance.

Caution: • Perform the reverse procedure when removing the cables and cord.

Start removing the cable from the point shown by the arrow (

) in the following figure so that they can be

removed easily.

• Keep your face away from the rear cover and prevent your nails from getting caught in the cover when taking it on or off. This is to avoid injury in case the rear cover comes off accidentally.

• Prevent the cables from getting trapped in a narrow gap when replacing the rear cover.

4. Connect the power cord to the power outlet.

• The monitor must be installed or carried by two or more people.

• Carry the monitor holding the built-in handle and bottom frames of the monitor.

• Do not carry holding only the stand.

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.

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 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 Color Setting.

• Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate of more than 60 Hz.

• 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.

Cleaning the LCD Panel

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

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

• Please do not apply pressure to the LCD surface.

• Please do not use OA cleaner as 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.

Terminology

Downloaded from ManualMonitor.com Manuals

English-46

Interlace (Page 32, 45)

One of the formats for displaying a frame that scans every other line of the frame. It is possible to use this format when displaying a screen that contains movement, such as TV, but not for when displaying still images as flickering of the screen is conspicuous. As a result, most computer monitors use a progressive format, which suppresses flickering of still images.

Energy Star Program (Page 2, 47)

Program that is being promoted by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in order to reduce power consumption of desktop computers.

Overscan (Page 30)

Refers to displaying pictures so that a few % of the effective picture that is input falls outside of the display area of the monitor’s screens (the part that is outside of the display area is not displayed on the screen). Regular TV is adjusted in an overscan state.

Response time (Page 47)

Refers to the speed at which screens switch when the displayed screen is changed (follow), where a smaller number represents a faster response time. The response time is the total amount of time necessary for changing from black → white → black tones.

Brightness (Page 47)

Refers to the pitch for brightness per unit area, where a higher number represents a brighter display screen.

Contrast ratio (Page 47)

Refers to the ratio that indicates the ratio of the brightness of white and black colors. If the brightness is the same, a higher contrast ratio represents a sharper screen.

Component picture (Page 4, 13)

Picture signals are divided into brightness signals (Y) and color signals (red (Pb)/blue (Pr)), synthesized by the receiving display device when projecting the signals on the screen, and then turned into a picture. Since brightness signals and color signals are sent separately, it is possible to reduce deterioration of image quality that occurs easily in conventional analog TV broadcasting, such as unnecessary coloring and blurring of colors.

Side border color (Page 28, 33)

Function that adjusts the colors of the parts on both ends of the screen where there is no picture if using aspect display.

Residual image (Page 38)

Residual images are images of the previous screen that was displayed that remain after the screen display is changed, when the same screen is displayed for a long period of time. Residual images gradually disappear if the screen display changes. However, they eventually may not disappear if the same screen is displayed often for long periods of time; avoid using the monitor where the same screen is displayed for long periods of time. It is recommended to change the display screen by using [Screensaver], etc.

View angle (Page 38, 47)

Refers to the angle from which a regular picture is viewed, such as when looking at a picture diagonally. A larger view angle indicates that it is possible to view pictures from a broader range.

Horizontal frequency/Vertical frequency (Page 33, 47)

Horizontal frequency: Refers to the number of horizontal lines displayed in 1 second. If the horizontal frequency is

31.5 kHz, horizontal lines are displayed 31,500 times per second. Vertical frequency: Represents the number of times the screen is rewritten in 1 second. If the vertical frequency is 60 Hz, the screen is rewritten 60 times per second.

Tilt angle/Swivel angle (Page 16, 47)

Tilt angle: Refers to the angle that the monitor screen can be moved up and down. Swivel angle: Refers to the angle that the monitor screen can be rotated in the horizontal direction.

No Touch Auto Adjust (NTAA) (Page 34)

Function that automatically sets the optimal condition for the screen each time a new signal is received from the computer.

Noise reduction (Page 32)

Reduces minute roughness (noise) in the picture.

Power Management function (Page 34)

Function that is built in to reduce power consumption of the computer. Reduces electric power consumption when the computer is not used for a fixed period of time (there is no key input over a fixed period of time). Returns to a normal state when you want to use the computer again.

Display pixels/resolution (Page 29, 33, 34, 47)

Commonly referred to as “resolution.” Represents the number of pixels in the horizontal and vertical directions per screen. A larger number of display pixels enables for a larger amount of information to be displayed.

Progressive (Page 32, 45)

One of the formats for displaying a frame by the screen (frame) at once. Format that displays all pixels by scanning in order from the top, and which is why it is referred to as the progressive scanning method. Compared to the interlace method, there is less flickering of the screen, enabling for clearer images. Also referred to as noninterlace.
