CHAPTER 1
The LCD Monitor
Your New LCD Monitor!
Your LCD Monitor has been designed to be versatile, ergonomic and user-friendly. The LCD Monitor is
capable of displaying most standards, from 640 x 480 VGA to 1024 x 768 XGA. The digital controls located on the front panel allows the user to easily adjust the Monitor’s display parameters. The LCD
Monitor’s small footprint allows you more room in your workspace for other peripherals. Lightweight and
compact, the LCD Monitor is the perfect solution for users on the go. You can use the LCD Monitor for
everything from making business presentations to playing computer games. The two stereo speakers allow
you to further expand your computer’s multimedia capabilities by connecting your computer’s Audio out
port to the LCD Monitor’s Audio in port. If you have a complete full workstation, the LCD Monitor has the
additional feature of an optional wall-mountable stand for added convenience.
The architecture of the LCD Monitor incorporates an LCD panel that produces a clear display with low radiation emission, limiting health concerns. With its low power consumption, the LCD Monitor helps you
reduce your power bill.
Unpacking
Before you unpack your LCD Monitor, prepare a suitable workspace for your LCD Monitor and computer.
You need a stable, level and clean surface near a wall outlet. Even though the LCD Monitor uses very little
power, you should put it in a location which allows sufficient airflow to ensure that the LCD Monitor and
your computer does not become too hot. Set up your LCD Monitor so that the panel doesn’t face a window
where sunlight often comes in. The glare caused by sunlight reflecting off the LCD Monitor’s screen will
makes it difficult to see.
Using a computer for an extended period of time with a poor workstation set-up and incorrect
working habits can cause health problems. The science of ergonomics studies the relationship
between health and a suitable working environment. There is a section on ergonomics at the
end of this chapter. For more information on ergonomics, contact your nearest computer bookstore, or local library. The Internet also has information on this and other subjects.
After you unpack your LCD Monitor; make sure the following items are included in the box and in good
condition:
• LCD Monitor
• Monitor-to-PC signal cable
• 1.5M Stereo Jack Audio Cable
• AC Adapter
• Power cord
• This user’s manual
If you find that any of these items are missing or appear damaged, contact your dealer immediately. Do not
throw away the packing material or shipping carton in case you need to ship or store the LCD Monitor in the
future.
