display cannot achieve the desired brightness, the numerical brightness value on the OSD will blink.

NOTE: For low brightness settings, the display will automatically compensate by adjusting the screen contrast to

achieve the desired brightness. This will result in a reduced contrast ratio and the OSD indicator will change

to magenta.

NOTE: For high brightness settings, the display will automatically compensate by turning down uniformity

compensation in order to achieve the desired brightness. The OSD indicator will change to magenta and this

may result in decreased uniformity.

COLOR VISION EMU Previews various typical human vision deﬁciencies and is useful for evaluating how

people who have such deﬁciencies will perceive colors. This preview is available in four

modes: Types P (Protanopia), D (Deutanopia) and T (Tritanopia) emulate color vision

dichromacy, and Grayscale can be used for evaluating contrast legibility.

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.

NOTE: Using the UNIFORMITY feature does reduce 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. A higher number produces a better effect, but

may also reduce CONTRAST RATIO. When BRIGHTNESS is shown in magenta, the

UNIFORMITY setting is automatically changed.

Do not touch LCD panel surface while transporting, mounting and setting. Applying pressure on the LCD

panel can cause serious damage.

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 the display to 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 (15.75 inches) and no further away than

70 cm (27.56 inches) from your eyes. The optimal distance is 50 cm (19.69 inches).

•

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:

•

To avoid eye fatigue, adjust the brightness to a moderate setting. Place a sheet of white paper next to the LCD screen for

luminance reference.

•

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 LCD is dusty, please gently wipe with a 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 discoloration 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.

Features

DisplayPort: DisplayPort is designed to be the future-ready, scalable solution for high performance digital display connectivity. It

enables the highest resolutions, the fastest refresh rates and deepest color depths over standard cables.

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 Manager 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 MultiSync 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, 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.

No-touch Auto Adjust*¹(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.

USB 2.0 hub adds excitement to your computing by connecting you to digital cameras, scanners and more.
