Further, aspect ratio and screen size settings supported include [DOT BY DOT], [4:3], [FULL] and [PARTIAL](*1).

*Supported signals are different on INPUT1 and INPUT2.

*1 Aspect ratio and screen size appearance will differ depending on input signal.

Free Installation Configuration

– Broader installation possibilities with thinner,

lighter, high-endurance design –

While producing a large 50" screen image, the display is only 98 mm thick, and weighs in at only 41.0 kg. On the other hand, the efficient heat-radiating design greatly improves environmental operating conditions. The thinner, lighter design, coupled to highendurance construction greatly broadens the range of possible installation locations and styles.

High reliability for commercial applications

This display is provided with features giving it high dependability in commercial applications, including the ability to suppress peak luminance in accordance with the viewing program, and to change the cooling fan’s speed in accordance with changes in operating environment. Such features provide safety and highendurance under conditions of commercial use.

Improved usability

User convenience has been improved by the inclusion of features making the display even more compatible with your computer. Some of these include the one-touch screen adjustment, [AUTO SET UP] function for computer connections, and the POINT ZOOM function to enlarge local portions of the screen image to display important detailed program data.

Power-Saving Design

While equipped with a high-precision (1280x768) panel, this unit achieves the highest energy-saving of any display in its class (50inch XGA class: 360 W). In addition, when the [ENERGY SAVE] function is selected, power consumption is reduced by 20 % compared to the normal operating mode (MODE1, with color-bar signal input).

The display is also provided with a variety of power-saving functions, including an automatic brightness function with ambient light sensor.

Selecting input source

This section explains the basic operation of this unit. Outlined on the following pages is how to turn the main power on and off, put this unit in the operation or standby mode and how to select connected components.

Before you begin, make sure you have:

Made connections between this unit and personal computer as described in the section “Installation and Connections” starting on page 10.

Set up the on-screen menu to input signals from components connected to INPUT1 and INPUT2 as described in the section “System Settings” starting on page 16.

If no connections are made to these terminals, on-screen setup is not necessary.

The STANDBY indicator may continue to light for a short while even after the main power is turned off. This is a result of residual electric load impressed on the circuitry, and the light will turn off presently.

Note

Please do not leave the same picture displayed on the screen for a long time. Doing so may cause a phenomenon known as “screen burn” which leaves a ghost, or residual, image of the picture on the screen.
