1)
Resolution is a kind of reference design,instead of hardware limitation.Because it is bounded by
DRAM size and performance
2)
The larger resolution,the bigger DRAM size
3)
The larger resolution,the less preformance,since it requires longer time to show a picture
4)
Whether to adopt JPEG/PNG hardware decoder can be set. The max resolution of Jpeg Hardware decoder is 16360 x 16360
5)
BMP decoder is a software decoder.The limitation of max resolution depends on DRAM size

when the PC power is turned off (or if the PC is disconnected). If so, press the [INPUT] button to
enter the video mode. Also, make sure that the PC is connected.
• When horizontal synchronous signals seem irregular in RGB mode, check PC power saving
mode or cable connections.
• The display settings table complies to the IBM/VESA standards, and based on the analog input.
• The DVI suppor t mode is regarded as same to the PC suppor t mode.
• The best timing for the ver tical frequency to each mode is 60Hz.

10. Cleaning and Troubleshooting
10.1. Cleaning
When Using the Display
• Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the display. The top of the
display is usually very hot due to the high temperature of exhaust air being released through the
ventilation holes. Burns or personal injuries may occur if any body parts are brought too close. Placing
any object near the top of the display could also result in heat related damage to the object as well as
the display itself.
• Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the display. Moving the display with its cables attached
may damage the cables and thus cause re or electric shock.
• Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution before carrying out any type of
cleaning or maintenance procedure.
Front Panel Cleaning Instructions
• The front of the display has been specially treated. Wipe the surface gently using only a cleaning cloth
or a soft, lint-free cloth.
• If the surface becomes dirty, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in a mild detergent solution. Wring the cloth to
remove excess liquid. Wipe the surface of the display to remove dirt. Then use a dry cloth of the same
type to dry.
• Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with ngers or hard objects of any kind.
• Do not use volatile substances such as insert sprays, solvents and thinners.
Cabinet Cleaning Instructions
• If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth.
• If the cabinet is extremely dirty, soak a lint-free cloth in a mild detergent solution. Wring the cloth to
remove as much moisture as possible. Wipe the cabinet. Use another dry cloth to wipe over until the
surface is dry.
• Do not allow any water or detergent to come into contact with the surface of the display. If water or
moisture gets inside the unit, operating problems, electrical and shock hazards may result.
• Do not scratch or hit the cabinet with ngers or hard objects of any kind.
• Do not use volatile substances such as insert sprays, solvents and thinners on the cabinet.
• Do not place anything made from rubber or PVC near the cabinet for any extended periods of time.

12. RS232 Protocol
12.1. Introduction
This document describes the hardware interface spec and software protocols of RS232 interface
communication between ViewSonic Commercial TV / Digital Signage and PC or other control unit with
RS232 protocol.
The protocol contains three sections command:
• Set-Function
• Get-Function
• Remote control pass-through mode
* In the document below, “PC” represents all the control units that can send or receive the RS232 protocol
command.

12.2.3. Command Message Reference
PC sends to Monitor command packet followed by “CR”. Every time PC sends control command to the
Monitor, the Monitor shall respond as follows:
1. If the message is received correctly it will send “+” (02Bh) followed by “CR” (00Dh)
2. If the message is received incorrectly it will send “-” (02Dh) followed by “CR” (00Dh)

12.3. Protocol
12.3.1. Set-Function Listing
The PC can control the TV/DS for specic actions. The Set-Function command allows you to control the TV/
DS behavior in a remote site through the RS232 port. The Set-Function packet format consists of 9 bytes.
Set-Function description:
Length: Total Byte of Message excluding “CR”.
TV/DS ID Identication for each of TV/DS (01~98; default is 01)
If we want to set all TV/DS settings, use the TV/DS ID “99”, and it will not have Reply
command on this function.
The TV/DS ID can be set via the OSD menu for each TV/DS set.

12.3.3. Remote Control Pass-through mode
When the PC sets the TV/DS to Remote Control Pass through mode, the TV/DS will send a 7-byte packet
(followed by “CR”) in response to RCU button activation. Note, that in this mode the RCU shall have no
eect on the TV/DS function. For example: “Volume+” will not change the volume in the LCD but only sends
“Volume+” code to PC over the RS232 port.
