Technical Features
Power saving function
This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA,
NERGYSTAR, and NUTEK. If the monitor is connected to a
E
computer or video graphics board that is DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling) compliant, the monitor will automatically reduce power consumption as shown below.

Automatic picture quality adjustment function
signal only)
When the monitor receives an input signal, it automatically adjusts the picture’s position and sharpness(phase/pitch),and ensures that a clear picture appears on the screen.
The factory preset mode
When the monitor receives an input signal, it automatically matches the signal to one of the factory preset modes stored in the monitor’s memory to provide a high quality picture at the center of the screen. If the input signal matches the factory preset mode, the picture is appears on the screen automatically with the appropriate default adjustment.
If input signals do not match one of the factory preset modes
When the monitor receives an input signal, the automatic picture quality adjustment function of this monitor is activated and ensures that a clear picture always appears on the screen (within the following monitor frequency ranges): Horizontal frequency:28 – 92 kHz Vertical frequency: 56 – 85Hz Consequently, the first time the monitor receives input signals that do not match one of the factory preset modes, the monitor may take a longer time than normal for displaying the picture on the screen. This adjustment data is automatically stored in memory so that next time, the monitor will function in the same way as when the monitor receives the signals that match one of the factory preset modes.
If you adjust the phase, pitch, and pictures position manually
For some input signals, the automatic picture quality adjustment function of this monitor may not completely adjust the picture position,phase, and pitch. In this case, youcan manuallyset these adjustments (page 12). If you manually set these adjustments, they are stored in memory as user modes and automatically recalled whenever the monitor receives the same input signals.

x Conglatulations!
You have just purchased a TCO’95 approved and labelled product! Your choice has provide d you with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the burden on the environment and also , to the further development of envir onm entally adapted electronics products.

Why do we have environmentally labelled comput­ers?
In many countries, env ironmental labelling has become an e st ablished method for encouraging the adaptation of goods and se rvices to the environment. Th e main problem , as far as comput ers and other elec tronics equipment are concerned, is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products and during the manufacturing. Since it has not been possible for the majority of electronics equipment to be recycled in a satisfactory way, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter N ature. There are also other characteristic s of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are important from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Since all methods of conventional electricity generation have a ne gative effect on the environment (acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste, etc.), it is vital to conserve energy. Electronics equipment in offices consume an enormous amount of energy since they are often left running continuously.
x What does labelling involve?
This product me ets the requirements for the TCO’95 scheme which provides for interna tional and environmental labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Naturskyddsforen ingen (The Swedish Society for Nature Co nservation) and NUTEK (The National Board for Industrial and Techni cal Development in Swed en). The requiremen ts cover a wide rang e of issues: environme nt, ergon omics, usability, emission of electrical and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.
The environmental demands concern restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlori nated solvents, among other things. The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental plan which must be adhered to in each country where the company implements its operational policy. The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or display, after a certain period of inactivity, shall reduce its power consumptio n to a lowe r le vel in on e or mor e sta ges . The le ngth of tim e to reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user.
Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the reduction of electric and magnetic fields, physical and visual ergonomic s and good usability.
On this page, you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product. The complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from :
TCO Development Unit S-114 94 Stockholm Sweden Fax: +46 8 782 92 07 Email (Internet): development@tco.se Current information regarding TCO’95 approved and labelled products may also be obtained via the Internet, using the address: http://www.tco-info.com/
TCO’95 is a co-operative project between TCO (The Swedi s h Confederation of Professional Employees), Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Societ y for Nature Conservation) and NUTEK (T he National Board fo r I nd u s trial and Technica l De velopment in Sweden).
x Environmental Requirements
Brominated flame retardants
Brominated flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. In turn, they delay the spread of fire. Up to thirty percent of the plastic in a computer casi ng can consist of flame retardant substances. These are related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs, which are suspected to give rise to similar harm, including reproductive damage in fisheating birds and mammals, due to the bio­accumulative* pr ocesses. Flame retardants ha ve been found in human blood and resear chers fear that disturbances in foetus development may occur. TCO’95 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain organically bound chlorine and bromine.
Lead**
Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. TCO’95 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been devel oped.
Cadmium**
Cadmium is pr ese nt in rec har geab le batt erie s an d in the c olo urg ener ati ng layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. TCO’95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million) of cadmium. The colour-generati ng layers of display screens must not contain any cadmium.
Mercury**
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. Mercury damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. TCO’95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per mill ion) of mercury. It also demands that no mercury is present in any of the electrical or electronics components concerned with the display unit.
CFCs (freons)
CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards and in the manufacturing of expanded foam for packaging. CFCs break down ozone and thereby d amage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased re ception o n Earth of ultravio let light with cons equent inc reased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma). The releva nt TCO’9 5 requi rement: Ne ither C FCs nor H CFCs ma y be use d during the manufact uring of the product or its packaging.
* Bio-accumulati ve is defined as substances which accumulate within
living organisms
** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-
accumulative.
