Making the Connections

Before connecting any cables, make sure that the computer and display are turn off.

To connect the power and video signal cables:

1. Locate the AC power adapter with attached power cable.

2. Connect the power cable to the power jack on the back of the display (as shown below).

3. Plug the two-prong power cord into a power outlet, and plug the other end into the AC power
adapter.

4. Plug the analog video signal cable into the Analog Video Input port on the back of the display (as
shown above).

5. Connect the other end of the video cable into your computer’s video port. (Please check your
computer’s documentation if you’re not sure where the port is located.)

Note:

For best display performance, it is strongly recommended that you use Auto Setup to
automatically configure your display’s settings.

6

Using Your Display

This chapter contains information about using your LCD Monitor.

Turning the Display On and Off

Use the power button located at the lower right side of the front panel of the display to turn the display
on and off. When the display is on, the light (LED) near the Power button is illuminated. The light is
green when both the display and PC are active and amber when the display is in a reduced power
mode.

If your PC supplies power saving signals to the display, the display’s power management features
reduce power consumption to low levels when your PC goes into its power-saving mode. See
“Minimizing Power Consumption” on page 11 for more information.

If your PC doesn’t use industry standard power-save signaling techniques, you can reduce power
consumption by turning off the display when it won’t be used for an extended period. You can turn the
display off even if you leave your PC in running.

Note:

Because of the technology used in LCD panels, screen savers will not prolong the life of
your display. So if the display will not be used for an extended period, be sure to turn it off.

Warning

To completely disconnect power from your display, you must

remove the power cord from the wall outlet and then remove

the power cable from the display.

7

Tilting the Display

The monitors have a tilt feature that allows you to tilt the display back and forth as well as left and
right to find the most comfortable viewing position. To tilt the display, grasp the sides and push the
display back or pull it toward you, or turn it left or right until it is in the desired position. The display
can be tilted 20º backward and 5º forward.

Note:

Do not tilt the display by grasping the top edge.

Setting the Video Mode

Since the inherent format of this display is 1280 pixels by 1024 lines, the display will perform best
when your PC is set to a screen resolution of 1280 x 1024. If you use a lower resolution (such as 640
x 480), the image is expanded to fill the screen.

Your display supports many common video modes, as shown in “Video Modes” on page 29. Check
the documentation supplied with your PC and video adapter card to find out which modes they
support.

To see what the video mode in your Microsoft Windows, please check Windows’ settings in your PC.

Setting the Refresh Rate

The image refresh rate is the number of times per second that the image is refreshed; it is also known
as the vertical frequency.

On standard CRT displays, we recommend that you should use the highest possible refresh rate
supported by your PC at the current screen resolution. This is necessary to avoid screen flickering and
to minimize eyestrain. However, with your LCD Monitor, flicker is not an issue. It is flick-free at all
supported refresh rates.

8

The table in “Video Mode” on page 29 shows the image refresh rates supported by the display at
different screen resolution. Although your LCD monitor supports up to 75 Hz for analog video input,
we recommend that you use 60 Hz refresh rate for best performance.

To set the refresh rate with a standard Windows installation, follow the steps mentioned in your
Windows’s or graphic card’s user’s manual.

Minimizing Power Consumption

Many PCs support industry standard power-save signaling techniques. Power management features
reduce the display’s power consumption after a period of keyboard inactivity.

When the display is in a power-saving mode, the screen is blank and the power indicator is amber.
Pressing a key on the keyboard or moving the mouse restores the image in several seconds. Consult
your PC documentation for information about setting the power-saving modes.

The display accepts the signals for standard power-saving mode, when PC go into power saving
mode . The display will go into power saving.

Caring for and Cleaning the Display

To maximize screen life and prevent damage to the LCD panel, we recommend that you:

Ö Use the display power management system (if available on your PC).

Ö If you don’t use a power management system, turn off the display when you won’t be using it for

an extended period.

Ö Don’t press, rub, or poke the display with your finger or other object.

Ö Handle your display with care.

Your LCD module is a high-quality optical device that requires special care when cleaning.

Warning

Don’t use liquid, aerosol, or abrasive cleaning solutions to

clean the screen.

To clean the screen:

1. Shut down the PC.

2. Turn off and unplug the display.

3. Gently dust the screen with a dry, soft, line-free cloth.

9

Note:

If the screen is still dirty, you can dampen the cloth with several drops of distilled water.
Make sure the LCD panel is completely dry before you turn the display back on.

4. Plug in the display.

5. Turn on your PC and display.

10

Unknown Video Modes

Like all other monitors, the your LCD monitor is designed to work with standard video modes.
However, not all video/graphic cards use only standard display modes.

Your LCD monitor uses state-of-the-art technology, which is designed to synchronize to any display
mode. We recommend choosing one of the supported modes listed above. If you choose an unknown
mode, you will need to manually adjust the clock, phase, and image position.

If you must use an unknown mode, you can run Auto Setup at first. If Auto Setup doesn’t provide
adequate image adjustment, then you must manually adjust the clock, phase, horizontal position, and
vertical position.
