Image Persistence: Image persistence is when a residual or "ghost" image of a previous image remains visible on the screen. Unlike CRT monitors, LCD monitors' image persistence is not permanent, but constant images being displayed for a long period of time should be avoided.

To alleviate image persistence, turn off the monitor for as long as the previous image was displayed. For example, if an image was on the monitor for one hour and a residual image remains, the monitor should be turned off for one hour to erase the image.

NOTE: As with all personal display devices, NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS recommends using a moving screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle or turning off the monitor when not in use.

CORRECT PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR CAN REDUCE EYE, SHOULDER AND NECK FATIGUE. CHECK THE FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION THE MONITOR:

• For optimum performance, allow 20 minutes for warm-up.
- Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye level. Your eyes should look slightly downward when viewing the middle of the screen.
- Position your monitor no closer than 40 cm and no further away than 70 cm from your eyes. The optimal distance is 50 cm.
- Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at least 20 feet away. Blink often.
- Position the monitor at a 90° angle to windows and other light sources to minimize glare and reflections. Adjust the monitor tilt so that ceiling lights do not reflect on your screen.
• If reflected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use an anti-glare filter.
- Clean the LCD monitor surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using any cleaning solution or glass cleaner!

- Adjust the monitor's brightness and contrast controls to enhance readability.

• Use a document holder placed close to the screen.

- Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen or reference material) directly in front of you to minimize turning your head while you are typing.

- Avoid displaying fixed patterns on the monitor for long periods of time to avoid image persistence (after-image effects).

• Get regular eye checkups.

Ergonomics

To realize the maximum ergonomics benefits, we recommend the following:

• Adjust the Brightness until the background raster disappears.
• Do not position the Contrast control to its maximum setting.
  • Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals.
  • Use the preset Color Setting.
  • Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate of more than 60 Hz.

- Do not use primary color blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see and may produce eye fatigue due to insufficient contrast.

Cleaning the LCD Panel

• When the liquid crystal panel is stained with dust or dirt, please wipe gently with soft cloth.
• Please do not rub the LCD panel with hard or coarse material.
• Please do not apply pressure to the LCD surface.
• Please do not use OA cleaner as it will cause deterioration or discolor on the LCD surface.

Cleaning the Cabinet

• Unplug the power supply
• Gently wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth
• To clean the cabinet, dampen the cloth with a neutral detergent and water, wipe the cabinet and follow with a dry cloth.

NOTE: Many plastics are used on the surface of the cabinet. DO NOT clean with benzene, thinner, alkaline detergent, alcoholic system detergent, glass cleaner, wax, polish cleaner, soap powder, or insecticide. Do not touch rubber or vinyl to the cabinet for a long time. These types of fluids and fabrics can cause the paint to deteriorate, crack or peel.

NOTE: Depending on the PC and Video card used, or when another Video signal cable is attached, this function may not operate.

HDCP CONTENT (Digital Input Only)

Selects the type of input to be used with HDCP CONTENT.

OFF: When a PC or other computer equipment is connected, select "OFF".

ON: When a DVD player or other type of high definition device is connected, select "ON".

NOTE: Interlaced signals (480i, 576i, 1080i) are not supported. If you have any problems, please refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual.

VIDEO DETECT

Selects the method of video detection when more than one video input is connected.

FIRST: When current video input signal is not present, then the monitor searches for a video signal from the other video input port. If the video signal is present in the other port, then the monitor switches the video source input port to the new found video source automatically. The monitor will not look for other video signals while the current video source is present.

LAST: When the monitor is displaying a signal from the current source and a new secondary source is supplied to the monitor, then the monitor will automatically switch to the new video source. When current video input signal is not present, then the monitor searches for a video signal from the other video input port. If the video signal is present in the other port, then the monitor switches the video source input port to the new found video source automatically.

NONE: The Monitor will not search the other video input port unless the monitor is turned on.

OFF TIMER

Monitor will automatically power-down when the end user has selected a pre-determined amount of time. Before powering off, a message will appear on the screen asking the user if they want to delay the turn off time by 60 minutes. Press any OSD button to delay the turn off time.

OFF MODE

This function allows the monitor to enter into a power saving mode after a period of inactivity.

The OFF MODE has three settings.

OFF: Monitor does not go into power save mode when the input signal is lost.

STANDARD: Monitor enters power save mode automatically when the input signal is lost.

OPTION: Monitor enters power save mode automatically when the amount of surrounding light goes below the a level that is determined by the user. The level can be adjusted in Tag7 of the Advanced OSD Control menu.

When in power save mode, the LED on the front of the monitor blinks amber. While in power save mode, push any of the front buttons, except for POWER and SELECT to return to normal.

When the amount of surrounding light returns to normal levels, the monitor will automatically return to normal mode.

UNIFORMITY

This function electronically compensates for the slight variations in the white uniformity level, as well as for deviations in color that may occur throughout the display area of the screen. These variations are characteristic of LCD panel technology. This function improves the color and evens out the luminance uniformity of the display. Settings from 1 to 5 are available. 1 is the lowest amount of compensation and 5 is the highest.

NOTE: Using the UNIFORMITY feature reduces the overall peak luminance of the display. If greater luminance is desired over the uniform performance of the display, then UNIFORMITY should be turned off.

*1 Interpolated Resolutions: When resolutions are shown that are lower than the pixel count of the LCD module, text may appear different. This is normal and necessary for all current flat panel technologies when displaying non-native resolutions full screen. In flat panel technologies, each dot on the screen is actually one pixel, so to expand resolutions to full screen, an interpolation of the resolution must be done. *2 Condition: UNIFORMITY is OFF.
NOTE: Technical specifications are subject to change without notice.

Features

DVI-I: The integrated interface ratified by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) that allows both digital and analog connectors off of one port. The "I" stands for integration for both digital and analog, The digital portion is DVI-based.

DVI-D: The digital-only subset of DVI ratified by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) for digital connections between computers and displays. As a digital-only connector, analog support is not provided off a DVI-D connector. As a DVI-based digital only connection, only a simple adapter is necessary for compatibility between DVI-D and other DVI-based digital connectors such as DFP and P&D.

DFP (Digital Flat Panel): An all-digital interface for flat panel monitors which is signal compatible with DVI. As a DVI-based digital only connection, only a simple adapter is necessary for compatibility between DFP and other DVI-based digital connectors such as DVI and P&D.

P&D (Plug and Display): The VESA standard for digital flat panel monitor interfaces. It is more robust than DFP since it allows for other options off a signal connector (options like USB, analog video and IEEE-1394-995). The VESA committee has recognized that DFP is a subset of P&D. As a DVI-based connector (for the digital input pins), only a simple adapter is necessary for compatibility between P&D and other DVI-based digital connector such as DVI and DFP.

Pivoting Stand: Allows users to adjust the monitor to the orientation that best fits their application, either Landscape orientation for wide documents, or portrait orientation for the ability to preview a full page on one screen at one time. The Portrait orientation is also perfect for full screen video conferencing.

Reduced Footprint: Provides the ideal solution for environments requiring superior image quality but with size and weight limitations. The monitor's small footprint and low weight allow it to be moved or transported easily from one location to another.

Color Control Systems: Allows you to adjust the colors on your screen and customize the color accuracy of your monitor to a variety of standards.

Natural color matrix: Combines Six-axis color control and the sRGB standard. Six-axis color control permits color adjustments via six axes (R, G, B, C, M and Y) rather than through the three axes (R, G and B) previously available. The sRGB standard provides the monitor with a uniform color profile. This assures that the colors displayed on the monitor are exactly the same as on the color printout (with sRGB supporting operating system and sRGB printer). This allows you to adjust the colors on your screen and customise the color accuracy of your monitor to a variety of standards.

OSD (On-Screen Display) Controls: Allow you to quickly and easily adjust all elements of your screen image via simple to use on-screen menus.

ErgoDesign Features: Enhanced human ergonomics to improve the working environment, protect the health of the user and save money. Examples include OSD controls for quick and easy image adjustments, tilt base for preferred angle of vision, small footprint and compliance with MPRII and TCO guidelines for lower emissions.

Plug and Play: The Microsoft® solution with the Windows® operating system facilitates setup and installation by allowing the monitor to send its capabilities (such as screen size and resolutions supported) directly to your computer, automatically optimizing display performance.

Intelligent power management System: Provides innovative power-saving methods that allow the monitor to shift to a lower power consumption level when on but not in use, saving two-thirds of your monitor energy costs, reducing emissions and lowering the air conditioning costs of the workplace.

Multiple Frequency Technology: Automatically adjusts monitor to the display card's scanning frequency, thus displaying the resolution required.

FullScan Capability: Allows you to use the entire screen area in most resolutions, significantly expanding image size.

Wide Viewing Angle Technology: Allows the user to be able to see the monitor from any angle (178°) from any orientation — Portrait or Landscape. Provides full 178° viewing angles either up, down, left or right.

VESA Standard Mounting Interface: Allows users to connect their monitor to any VESA-standard third party mounting arm or bracket. Allows for the monitor to be mounted on a wall or an arm using any third party compliant device.

Visual Controller: Is a ground-breaking software family, developed by NEC Display Solutions Europe GmbH, providing intuitive access to all monitor setting controls and remote diagnosis via the Windows interface, based upon the VESA standard, DDC/CI. Using a standard VGA or DVI signal cable, Visual Controller can either benefit single users or, with Visual Controller Administrator, can reduce the Total Cost of Ownership through remote network-wide maintenance, diagnosis and asset-reporting.

CableComp automatic long cable compensation prevents image quality degradation caused by long cable lengths.

No-touch Auto Adjust (Analog input only): No-touch auto adjust automatically adjusts the monitor to optimal settings upon initial setup.

sRGB Color Control: A new optimized color management standard which allows for color matching on computer displays and other peripherals. The sRGB, which is based on the calibrated color space, allows for optimal color representation and backward compatibility with other common color standards.

UNIFORMITY: This feature compensates for slight variations in the white uniformity level that may occur on the screen and improves the color and evens out the luminance uniformity of the display.

Response Improve: Improved gray to gray response.

Adjustable stand with pivot capability: Adds flexibility to your viewing preferences.

Quick Release stand: Allows fast removal.

Auto dimming technology: Automatically adjusts the backlight level depending on the level of ambient lighting.

AUTO LUMINANCE: Turns on the built-in backlight sensor, the AUTO LUMINANCE function can be used to maintain a selected level of light output as well as correcting for short-term fluctuations. AUTO LUMINANCE also brings the display up to optimum output soon after powering on. This application is especially useful for displays that will be calibrated.

When auto luminance is enabled the display will reduce the output brightness to a preset level and the OSD will indicate the luminance level in estimated candelas per meter squared (cd/m²).
