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
1600 x 1200 UXGA. The digital controls located on the front panel allow 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 all type of users.
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 make it difficult to see.
After you unpack your LCD Monitor; make sure the following items are included in
the box and in good condition:
• LCD Monitor
• AC Adapter
• Monitor-to-PC Analog signal cable (15-pin)
• Monitor-to-PC Digital signal cable (24-pin)
