Sync Signal
Sync (Synchronized) Signals refer to the standard signals that are required to display desired colors on
the monitor. They are divided into Vertical and Horizontal Sync Signals. These signals display normal
color images by the set resolution and frequency.
Service Center
Terms
Types of Sync Signals
Separate
Composite
This is a scheme of transmitting individual vertical sync signals to the monitor.
Regulatory
This is a scheme of combining vertical sync signals into one composite signal
and transmitting it to the monitor. The monitor displays the color signals by
separating the composite signal into original color signals.
This scheme does not use sync signals. Instead, it combines horizontal and
vertical sync signals into a Green signal and transmits to the monitor. It is mainly
used for workstations.
Natural Color
For Better Display
Authority
Sync On Green
Dot Pitch
The image on a monitor is composed of red, green and blue dots. The closer the dots, the higher the
resolution. The distance between two dots of the same color is called the 'Dot Pitch'. Unit: mm
Vertical Frequency
The screen must be redrawn several times per second in order to create and display an image for the
user. The frequency of this repetition per second is called Vertical Frequency or Refresh Rate. Unit: Hz
Example: If the same light repeats itself 60 times per second, this is regarded as 60 Hz. In this case,
flickering of the screen can be detected. To avoid this problem, there is a Flicker-free Mode
using a vertical frequency over 70 Hz.
Horizontal Frequency
The time to scan one line connecting the right edge to the left edge of the screen horizontally is called
Horizontal Cycle. The inverse number of the Horizontal Cycle is called Horizontal Frequency. Unit: kHz
Interlace and Non-Interlace Methods
Showing the horizontal lines of the screen from the top to the bottom in order is called the Non-Interlace
method while showing odd lines and then even lines in turn is called the Interlace method. The Non-
Interlace method is used for the majority of monitors to ensure a clear image. The Interlace method is
the same as that used in TVs.
Plug & Play
This is a function that provides the best quality screen for the user by allowing the computer and the
monitor to exchange information automatically. This monitor follows the international standard VESA
DDC for the Plug & Play function.
Resolution
The number of horizontal and vertical dots used to compose the screen image is called 'resolution'. This
number shows the accuracy of the display. High resolution is good for performing multiple tasks as more
image information can be shown on the screen.
Example: If the resolution is 1024 X 768, this means the screen is composed of 1024 horizontal dots
(horizontal resolution) and 768 vertical lines (vertical resolution).
A2
This system uses two carriers to transmit voice data. Countries such as South Korea and Germany use
this system.
BTSC
Broadcast Television System Committee
The stereo broadcasting system that is used in most of the countries that have adopted the NTSC
system, including the United States, Canada, Chile, Venezuela and Taiwan. It also refers to the
organization that has been organized to promote its development and management.

AB general requirements
AB2 Written Eco-document acompanying the products
Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO'95 approved and labelled product! Your choice has
provided you with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to
reducing the burden on the environment and to the further development of environmentally-adapted
electronic products.
Why do we have environmentally-labelled monitors?
In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method for encouraging the
adaptation of goods and services to the environment.The main problem as far as monitors and other
electronic equipment are concerned is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the
products and during their manufacture. Since it has not been possible so far for the majority of electronic
equipment to be recycled in a satisfactory way, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or
later enter Nature.
There are also other characteristics of a monitor, such as energy consumption levels, that are important
from both the working and natural environment viewpoints. Since all types of conventional electricity
generation have a negative effect on the environment (acidic and climate-influencing emissions,
radioactive waste, etc.) it is vital to conserve energy. Electronic equipment in offices consumes an
enormous amount of energy, since it is often routinely left running continuously.

What does labelling involve?
This product meets the requirements for the TCO'95 scheme, which provides for international
environmental labelling of monitors. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The
Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for
Nature Conservation) and NUTEK (The National Board for Industrial and Technical Development in
Sweden).
The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of electrical
and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.
The environmental demands concern among other things restrictions on the presence and use of heavy
metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons), and chlorinated solvents. The product
must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental plan, which must
be adhered to in each country where the company conducts its operations policy. The energy requirements
include a demand that the monitor after a certain period of inactivity shall reduce its power consumption to
a lower level, in one or more stages. The length of time to reactivate the monitor shall be reasonable for
the user.
Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example in respect of the reduction of
electric and magnetic fields, along with physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.

Environmental Requirements
Brominated flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. In
turn, they delay the spread of fire. Up to thirty percent of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of
flame retardant substances. These are related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs, which are
suspected to give rise to similar harm, including reproductive damage in fish eating birds and mammals,
due to the bioaccumulative processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and researchers
fear that disturbances in foetus development may occur.
z TCO'95 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain
organically bound chlorine and bromine.
Lead
Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous
system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning.
z TCO'95 requirement Permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.
Cadmium
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour generating layers of certain computer
displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.
z TCO'95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million) of
cadmium. The colour-generating layers of display screens must not contain any cadmium.
Mercury
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. Mercury damages the nervous system and
is toxic in high doses.
z TCO'95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million) of
mercury. It also demands that no mercury is present in any of the electrical or electronics components
concerned with the display unit.
CFCs (freons)
CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards and in the manufacturing of
expanded foam for packaging. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the
stratosphere, causing increased reception on Earth of ultraviolet light with consequent increased risks of
skin cancer (malignant melanoma).
z The relevant TCO'95 requirement: Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacturing of
the product or its packaging.

electronics equipment, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter nature.
There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are important
from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Since all methods of
electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (e.g. acidic and climate-influencing

Environmental requirements
Flame retardants
Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. Their purpose
is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing can
consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride, and those flame
retardants are chemically related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame
retardants containing bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to severe health
effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative*
processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in
foetus development may occur.
The relevant TCO'99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not
contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the
printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.
Cadmium**
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating layers of certain computer
displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO'99
requirement states that batteries, the colour-generating layers of display screens and the electrical or
electronics components must not contain any cadmium.
Mercury**
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system and is toxic

in high doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury. It also
demands that mercury is not present in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the
labelled unit. There is however one exception. Mercury is, for the time being, permitted in the back light
system of flat panel monitors as today there is no commercially available alternative. TCO aims on
removing this exception when a Mercury free alternative is available.
CFCs (freons)
The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the
manufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit
boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing
increased reception on earth of ultraviolet light with e.g. increased risks of skin cancer (malignant
melanoma) as a consequence.
Lead**
Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous
system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. The relevant TCO'99 requirement permits the
inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.
* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms.
** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.
