Precautions

Warning on power connections

• Use the supplied power cord. If you use a different power cord, be sure that it is compatible with your local power supply.

For the customers in the U.S.A.

If you do not use the appropriate cord, this monitor will not conform to mandatory FCC standards.

For the customers in the UK

If you use the monitor in the UK, be sure to use the appropriate

UK power cord.

Example of plug types for 100 to 120 V AC for 200 to 240 V AC for 240 V AC only

The equipment should be installed near an easily accessible outlet.

Installation

Do not install or leave the monitor:

• In places subject to extreme temperatures, for example near a radiator, heating vent, or in direct sunlight. Subjecting the monitor to extreme temperatures, such as in an automobile parked in direct sunlight or near a heating vent, could cause deformations of the casing or malfunctions.

• In places subject to mechanical vibration or shock.

• Near any equipment that generates a strong magnetic field, such as a TV or various other household appliances.

• In places subject to inordinate amounts of dust, dirt, or sand, for example near an open window or an outdoor exit. If setting up temporarily in an outdoor environment, be sure to take adequate precautions against airborne dust and dirt. Otherwise irreparable malfunctions could occur.

Place this unit on a flat surface. Do not place it on an uneven surface like the edge of a desk. If a part of this unit sticks out from such surface, it may fall or cause damaged and injury.

Handling the LCD screen

• Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can damage the LCD screen. Take care when you place the monitor by a window.

• Do not push on or scratch the LCD screen. Do not place a heavy object on the LCD screen. This may cause the screen to lose uniformity or cause LCD panel malfunctions.

• If the monitor is used in a cold place, a residual image may appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction. The screen returns to normal as the temperature rises to a normal operating level.

• If a still picture is displayed for a long time, a residual image may appear for a while. The residual image will eventually disappear.

• The LCD panel becomes warm during operation. This is not a malfunction.

Note on the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)

Please note that the LCD screen is made with highprecision technology. However, black points or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen, and irregular colored stripes or brightness may appear on the LCD screen.

This is not malfunction.

(Effective dots: more than 99.99%)

Maintenance

• Be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet before cleaning your monitor.

• Clean the LCD screen with a soft cloth. If you use a glass cleaning liquid, do not use any type of cleaner containing an anti-static solution or similar additive as this may scratch the

LCD screen’s coating.

• Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine.

• Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or abrasive items such as a ballpoint pen or screwdriver. This type of contact may result in a scratched picture tube.

• Note that material deterioration or LCD screen coating degradation may occur if the monitor is exposed to volatile solvents such as insecticide, or if prolonged contact is maintained with rubber or vinyl materials.

Transportation

• Disconnect all cables from the monitor and grasp the monitor firmly with both hands when transporting. If you drop the monitor, you may be injured or the monitor may be damaged.

• When you transport this monitor for repair or shipment, use the original carton and packing materials.

Installation on a wall or a mounting arm

If you intend to install the display on a wall or a mounting arm, be sure to consult qualified personnel.

Note that the back cover must be removed for this type of installation.

Technical Features

Power saving function

This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA,

E NERGY S TAR, 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.

Setting the MODE (PICTURE)

If you press the button on the lower side of the monitor repeatedly, you can select MODE from MOVIE t PC t

AUTO t GAME.

When you select “AUTO,” the monitor automatically adjusts the screen brightness according to the brightness of the surroundings

(Automatic brightness adjustment function). For more information, see “Automatic brightness adjustment function

(light sensor)”.

Press the button repeatedly.

The default setting of MODE is set to “MOVIE.” When you press the button once, “MOVIE” (the default setting) is displayed, and when you press again, “PC” is displayed.

Each time you press the button, the mode changes as follows.

,

: M OV I E

: P C

: AU TO

5 0

: G A M E

Each mode appears on the screen and MODE is changed. The menu automatically disappears after about 5 seconds.

Automatic brightness adjustment function (light sensor)

This monitor is provided with a feature to automatically adjust the screen brightness according to the brightness of the surroundings.

The brightness of the screen is set to the most appropriate level by setting MODE to AUTO with the button on the lower side of the monitor, or in the PICTURE menu. The default setting of the brightness of the screen is set to MOVIE.

Also, when you set MODE to AUTO with the button, the adjustment bar is also displayed. You can adjust the bar with the m / M buttons. Screen brightness changes according to the level you set.

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.

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 13). 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 1 (power) switch will operate.
