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.

SDM-HS75D

Power mode Power consumption (power) indicator
normal operation	45 W (max.) green
active off* (deep sleep)**	1.0 W (max.) orange
power off 1.0 W (max.) off

SDM-HS95D

Power mode Power consumption		( power) indicator
normal operation	50 W (max.) green
active off* (deep sleep)**	1.0 W (max.)	orange
power off 1.0 W (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.

Reducing the power consumption

(mode)

If you set the mode to LOW by pressing the button on the front of the monitor, the backlight level is reduced and the power consumption is reduced, too.

Press the button several times until LOW appears.

LOW appears on the screen and the backlight level is reduced. LOW automatically disappears after about 5 seconds.

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: 48 - 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

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

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 12). 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.

Note

While the automatic picture quality adjustment function is activated, only the power switch will operate.

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.

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.

GO TO POWER SAVE

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

If CABLE DISCONNECTED appears on the screen

This indicates that the video signal cable has been disconnected.

Safety precautions

Safety precautions when connecting to the power supply

• Use the power cable supplied with the monitor. If using a different power cable, make sure it is suitable for use in the local power supply. For customers in the USA, using an inappropriate power cable may cause the monitor not to comply with mandatory FCC standards. For customers in the UK, when using the monitor in the UK, use the appropriate power cable for the UK.

Examples of power plugs

For 100-120V AC

For 200-240V AC

Only for 240V AC

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, for example, near batteries, heaters, or in places where direct sunlight may fall. Placing the monitor in places exposed to high temperatures, for example, in cars parked in sunny places or near heaters, may lead to deformation of the case or malfunction. In places where there is vibration or strong mechanical impacts. Near devices that emit strong magnetic fields, for example, televisions or other household appliances. In places where a lot of dust, dirt, or sand can accumulate, for example, near an open window or exit from a room. If the device is moved, be sure to take appropriate precautions against dust and dirt in the air. Otherwise, the device may be irreparably damaged.

Install the system on a flat surface. Do not install it on an uneven surface: for example, on the edge of a table. If part of the system protrudes beyond the edge of the surface on which it is installed, this may cause the device to fall, trip, or be damaged.

LCD Monitor Maintenance

Do not leave the LCD screen in places where sunlight falls on it, as this may lead to its damage. Be careful when placing the monitor near a window. Do not touch or scratch the LCD screen, and do not place heavy objects on the LCD screen. This may lead to screen distortion or malfunction of the LCD panel. - If the monitor is used in a cold place, residual image may appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction. The screen will return to normal operation as soon as the temperature becomes normal.

• If a still image is displayed for a long time, a residual image may temporarily appear on the screen. The residual image will disappear over time.
• The LCD panel heats up during operation. This is not a malfunction.

Notes on LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)

Please note that the LCD screen is manufactured using high-precision technology. However, on the LCD screen, dark or light dots (red, blue, or green) may constantly appear, as well as incorrect color stripes or bright spots. This is not a malfunction.

The input signals do not correspond to any of the factory preset modes.

When a monitor receives an input signal that does not match any of the factory preset modes, the automatic picture quality adjustment function is activated, which ensures a consistently sharp image on the screen (in the following synchronization frequency ranges of the monitor):

Horizontal sweep frequency:

28-80 kHz

Vertical sweep frequency:

48-75 Hz

Hz

Therefore, when a signal that does not match any of the factory preset modes is first input to the monitor, more time is required to display the image than usual. These settings are then saved in memory automatically, so the next time the monitor will operate as if the signal corresponded to one of the factory preset modes.

Note

There is no need to adjust the digital RGB signal from the DVI-D input connector.

If the image position, size, and phase are adjusted manually

For some input signals, the automatic picture quality adjustment function of this monitor may not fully adjust the image position, size, and phase. In this case, these adjustments can be performed manually (page 12). If the adjustments are set manually, they are saved in memory as user modes and are automatically recalled each time the same input signals are received by the monitor.

Note

If the automatic picture quality adjustment function is activated, it works only with the power switch (standby).

Troubleshooting

Please contact technical support service after reading this section.

Screen messages

If something is wrong with the input signal, one of the following messages will appear on the screen. For troubleshooting, see the section "Symptoms of malfunctions and actions to eliminate them" on page 18.

If the screen displays the message INPUT NOT SUPPORTED

This indicates that the input signal does not match the monitor's specifications. Check the following.

If the screen displays "xxx.xkHz/ xxxHz" This indicates that either the horizontal scan frequency or the vertical scan frequency does not match the monitor's specifications. The numbers indicate the horizontal and vertical scan frequencies of the current input signal.

If the screen displays "RESOLUTION>1280 ×1024

This indicates that this resolution does not match the monitor's specifications (1280×1024 or lower).

If the screen displays the message NO SIGNAL

This indicates that at the moment the signal is not being supplied.

In power saving mode

Approximately 5 seconds after displaying the message, the monitor will switch to power saving mode.

If the screen displays the message CABLE NOT CONNECTED

This indicates that the video signal cable is disconnected.

Symptoms of malfunctions and actions to eliminate them

If the monitor is connected to a computer or other equipment, refer to the operating instructions for that equipment.
