Technical Features
Power saving function
This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA, ENERGY STAR, and NUTEK. If the monitor is connected to a computer or video graphics board that is DPMS (Display Power Management Standard) for Analog input/DMPM (DVI Digital Monitor Power Management) for Digital input compliant, the monitor will automatically reduce power consumption as shown below.
| Power mode Power consumption (power) indicator | ||
| normal operation | 38W(max.) | green |
| (SDM-E76A/SDM-E76D) | ||
| 44W(max.) | ||
| (SDM-E96A/SDM-E96D) | ||
| active off* (deep sleep)** | 1.0W(max.) orange | |
| power off 1.0W(max.) off | ||
- When your computer enters the "active off" mode, the input signal is cut and NO INPUT SIGNAL appears on the screen. After 5 seconds, the monitor enters the power saving mode. ** "deep sleep" is the power saving mode defined by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Automatic picture quality adjustment function (analog RGB 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 appears on the screen automatically with the appropriate default adjustments.
If input signals do not match one of the factory preset modes
When the monitor receives an input signal that does not match one of the factory preset modes, the automatic picture quality adjustment function of this monitor is activated to ensure that a clear picture always appears on the screen (within the following monitor frequency ranges):
Horizontal frequency: 28 - 80 kHz
Vertical frequency: 56 - 75 Hz
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 to display 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.
Note (SDM-E76D/SDM-E96D only)
There is no need to adjust the digital RGB signals of the DVI-D input connector for INPUT1.
If you adjust the phase, pitch and picture position manually while OFF of AUTO ADJUST is selected
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, you can set these adjustments manually (page 11). If you set these adjustments manually, they are stored in memory as user modes and automatically recalled whenever the monitor receives the same input signals.
Notes
- While the automatic picture quality adjustment function is activated, only the power switch will operate.
- The picture may flicker during this time, but this is not a malfunction. Simply wait a few moments until the adjustment completes.
Troubleshooting
Before contacting technical support, refer to this section.
On-screen messages
If there is something wrong with the input signal, one of the following messages appears on the screen. To solve the problem, see "Trouble symptoms and remedies" on page 18.
If OUT OF RANGE appears on the screen
This indicates that the input signal is not supported by the monitor's specifications. Check the following items.
Example
INFORMATION
OUT OF RANGE INPUT1:DVI-D xxxx.xkHz/xxxxHz
If "xxx.x kHz/xxx Hz" is displayed
This indicates that either the horizontal or vertical frequency is not supported by the monitor's specifications.
The figures indicate the horizontal and vertical frequencies of the current input signal.
If "RESOLUTION > 1280 × 1024" is displayed
This indicates that the resolution is not supported by the monitor's specifications (1280 × 1024 or less).
If NO INPUT SIGNAL appears on the screen
This indicates that no signal is being input.
Example

GO TO POWER SAVE
The monitor will enter the power saving mode after about 5 seconds from the time the message is displayed.

Safety precautions
Electrical safety when connecting to the power grid
- Use the power cable supplied with the monitor. If using a different power cable, make sure it is suitable for use with the local power supply.
For customers in the USA
Use of a power cable that does not meet the mandatory standards will not be covered by the warranty.
For customers in the United Kingdom
When using the monitor in the United Kingdom, use the appropriate power cable for the United Kingdom.
Examples of power plugs
100-120V AC
200-240V AC
240V AC only
The power outlet should be located near the equipment and be easily accessible.
Installation
Do not install or leave the monitor:
In places exposed to high temperatures, such as near radiators, heaters, or in direct sunlight. Placing the monitor in areas subject to high temperatures, such as in cars parked in sunny locations or near heating appliances, may cause deformation of the cabinet or malfunction. In places where vibration or sudden mechanical impacts may occur. Near equipment that generates strong magnetic fields, such as televisions or other household appliances. In places where dust, dirt, or sand may accumulate, such as near an open window or exit. If the device is transported outdoors, be sure to take appropriate precautions against dust and dirt in the air. Otherwise, the device may be irreparably damaged.
Place the system on a flat surface. Do not place it on an uneven surface, for example, on the edge of a table. If any part of the system extends beyond the edge of the surface on which it is placed, it may become a risk of falling, injury, or damage to the device.
