Screen Technology
The MultiSync
display technology. The CRT, patented by NEC, delivers images with more clarity than found in traditional dot trio or aperture grille CRTs. Unlike the conventional shadow mask with phosphor dots, CRT phosphors appear elliptical when illuminated resulting in screen images with higher defini­tion, color saturation and more depth and dimension.
The CRT has Dynamic Beam Focus which provides precise and continuous focus adjustments of the electron beams. Dynamic Beam Focus provides optimum image quality, even to the far edges of the screen. You will notice the significant differ­ence the CRT makes through enhanced image clarity, depth and definition for realistic text, graphics and video.

The OptiClear® Screen Surface of the MultiSync dramatically reduces the reflection and glare of ambient lighting resulting in greatly improved user comfort and productivity. This multilayered screen coating increases the contrast without sacrificing the focus level, clarity or brightness.
A high contrast screen with a 0.25 mm mask pitch sharpens image clarity and enhances detail. On-screen information is easier to read.
The flat square CRT technology reduces image distortion and glare.

Introduction
ErgoDesign® Features
ErgoDesign features enhance human ergonomics (human and
earth conditions) which will improve the working environment, protect the health of the user and save money. ErgoDesign features parallel the strict European standards of power management and reduced emissions and the requirements laid down in the TCO (Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees) Agreement on Environmental Labeling 1992.
Power Manager
IPM™ (Intelligent Power Manager) System is an innovative power-saving feature that complies with both the EPA’s Energy Star requirements and Europe’s TCO NUTEK power management requirements. Energy Star products use less than 30 watts when in the main power-saving mode. The NUTEK specification 803299 requires automatic power-down to less than 30 watts in the suspend mode and less than 8 watts in the off mode.
When in the maximum power-down mode, the MultiSync
XV
15+
monitor will consume approximately 10% of the total
power drawn under normal operation, which follows the Video Electronics Standard Association (VESA) approved DPMS power-down signaling method. This innovation adds up to 90% energy savings, longer monitor life, environmental protection, reduced emissions and reduced air conditioning costs of the work environment.
®
Reduced Emissions
The MultiSync Field™ technology designed to reduce magnetic and alternating electric field emissions and static electricity. NEC MultiSync monitors follow the strictest magnetic field, alternating electric field and electro-static recommendations of the Swedish Board for Technical Accreditation, or SWEDAC (previously known as MPR, National Board for Measurement and Testing) and TCO (excluding alternating electric fields) which specify maximum recommended values of electric and magnetic fields.

Multiple Frequency Technology
Multiple Frequency Technology automatically adjusts the monitor to the display card’s scanning frequency, displaying the resolution you desire. The MultiSync® supports multiple operating platforms such as PC compatible, Macintosh family and workstation systems.
Increased refresh rates at all resolutions provide a flicker-free image which is easier on your eyes and extends your viewing time.
Depending on the system used, a wide range of graphics standards, including VESA standards, is supported by the MultiSync
XV

color monitor for PC & Mac including:
640 x 480: 60 to 120 Hz vertical refresh 800 x 600: 55 to 103 Hz vertical refresh 832 x 624: 55 to 97 Hz vertical refresh 1024 x 768: 55 to 81 Hz vertical refresh 1280 x 1024: 55 to 60 Hz vertical refresh* * Maximum resolution based on horizontal and vertical frequencies only.
NOTE: Some systems may not support all modes listed. Horizontal and vertical FullScan™ capability can increase the
display size of a variety of video modes to the edges of the monitor bezel. The FullScan capability allows you to use the entire screen area in most resolutions, significantly expanding image size.
