Hinweise

• Aus ergonomischen Gründen wird empfohlen, die Grundfarbe Blau nicht auf dunklem Untergrund zu verwenden (schlechte Erkennbarkeit, Augenbelastung bei zu geringem Zeichenkontrast).

• Aus ergonomischen Gründen (flimmern) sollten nur Darstellungen bei Vertikalfrequenzen ab 70 Hz (ohne Zeilensprung) verwendet werden.

• Die Konvergenz des Bildes kann sich auf Grund des

Magnetfeldes am Ort der Aufstellung aus der korrekten Goindeinstellung verändern. Zur Korrektur empfiehlt es sich deshalb, die Regler an der Frontseite für Konvergenz so

einzustellen, daß die getrennt sichtbaren Farblinien für Rot,

Grün und Blau bei z.B. der Darstellung eines Buchstabens

zur Deckung (Konvergenz) gelangen.

Siehe hierzu auch die Erklärungen zu Konvergenz.
