monitor in lower brightness is recommended.  
The LCD panel is manufactured using high-precision technology. However, missing pixels or lit pixels may  
appear on the LCD panel, this is not malfunction. Percentage of effective pixels : 99.9994% or higher.  
The backlight of the LCD panel has a fixed life span. When the screen becomes dark or begins to flicker,  
please contact your dealer.  
Do not press on the panel or edge of the frame strongly, as this may result in damage to the screen. There  
will be prints left on the screen if the pressed image is dark or black. If pressure is repeatedly applied to the  
screen, it may deteriorate or damage your LCD panel. Leave the screen white or black to decrease the prints.  
When the screen image is changed after displaying the same image for extended periods of time, an  
afterimage may appear. Use the screen saver or timer to avoid displaying the same image for extended  
periods of time.  
When the monitor is cold and brought into a room or the room temperature goes up quickly, dew  
condensation may occur inside and outside the monitor. In that case, do not turn the monitor on and wait until  
dew condensation disappears, otherwise it may cause some damages to it.  
Do not scratch or press on the panel with any sharp objects, such as a pencil or pen as this may result in  
damage to the panel. Do not attempt to brush with tissues as this may scratch the LCD panel.  
To use the monitor comfortably

ꢀ-ꢀ. Making Use of USB (Universal Serial Bus)  
This monitor provides a hub which supports the USB standard. When connecting to a USB compliant PC  
or another hub, the monitor functions as a hub to which the USB compliant peripherals can be easily  
connected.  
Required system environment  
PC equipped with USB ports or another USB hub connected to the USB compliant PC  
Windows 2000/XP/Vista // Mac OS 9.2.2 and Mac OS X 10.2 or later  
USB Cable (MD-C93, enclosed)  
NOTE  
The USB hub function may not work properly depending on the PC or peripherals. Please consult the  
manufacturer of each device about the USB support.  
Using the USB Rev. 2.0 compatible PC or peripherals is recommended.  
If the monitor is in the power saving mode, or if the monitor is connected to the power outlet with the  
monitor turned off, all the devices connected to the USB ports (upstream and downstream) work.  
Therefore, power consumption of the monitor varies with connected devices even in the power saving  
mode.  
The followings are procedures for the Windows2000/XP/Vista and Mac OS.

ꢃ-ꢂ. Glossary  
DVI (Digital Visual Interface)  
A digital flat panel interface. DVI can transmit digital data from the PC directly without loss with the  
signal transition method "TMDS". There are two kinds of DVI connectors. One is DVI-D connector  
for digital signal input only. The other is DVI-I connector for both digital and analog signal inputs.  
DVI DMPM (DVI Digital Monitor Power Management)  
The Power management system for the digital interface. The "Monitor ON" status (operation mode)  
and the "Active Off" status (power-saving mode) are indispensable for the DVI-DMPM as the  
monitor's power mode.  
Gain Adjustment  
Adjusts each color parameter for red, green and blue. The color of the LCD monitor is displayed  
through the color filter of the LCD panel. Red, green and blue are the three primary colors. The colors  
on the monitor are displayed by combining these three colors. The color tone can change by adjusting  
the illumination amount passed through each color's filter.  
Gamma  
Generally, the relationship that the light intensity values of a monitor change nonlinearly to the input  
signal level is called "Gamma Characteristic". On the monitor, low gamma values display the whitish  
images and high gamma values display the high contrast images.  
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection)  
Digital signal coding system developed to copy-protect the digital contents, such as video, music, etc.  
This helpsto transmit the digital contents safely by coding the digital contents sent via DVI terminal  
on the output side anddecoding them on the input side.Any digital contents cannot be reproduced if  
both of the equipments on the output and input sides are not applicableto HDCP system.  
Resolution  
The LCD panel consists of a fixed number of pixel elements which are illuminated to form the screen  
image. The display panel of this monitor consists of 2560 horizontal pixels and 1600 vertical pixels.  
At a resolution of 2560 x 1600, images are displayed as a full screen (1:1).  
Temperature  
Color Temperature is a method to measure the white color tone, generally indicated in degrees Kelvin.  
At high temperatures the white tone appears somewhat blue, while at lower temperatures it appears  
somewhat red. Computer monitors generally give best performance at high temperature settings.  
5000 K: Slightly reddish white.  
6500 K: Warm-white tone, similar to white paper or daylight.  
9300 K: Slightly bluish white.

The acronym VESA stands for "Video Electronics Standards Association", and DPMS stands for  
"Display Power Management Signaling". DPMS is a communication standard that PCs and graphics  
boards use to implement power savings on the monitor side.

Hinweise zur Auswahl des richtigen Schwenkarms für Ihren Monitor  
Dieser Monitor ist für Bildschirmarbeitsplätze vorgesehen. Wenn nicht der zum Standardzubehör gehörige  
Schwenkarm verwendet wird, muss statt dessen ein geeigneter anderer Schwenkarm installiert werden. Bei der  
Auswahl des Schwenkarms sind die nachstehenden Hinweise zu berücksichtigen:  
Der Standfuß muß den nachfolgenden Anforderungen entsprechen:  
a)Der Standfuß muß eine ausreichende mechanische Stabilität zur Aufnahme des Gewichtes vom Bildschirmgerät  
und des spezifizierten Zubehörs besitzen. Das Gewicht des Bildschirmgerätes und des Zubehörs sind in der  
zugehörenden Bedienungsanleitung angegeben.  
b)Die Befestigung des Standfusses muß derart erfolgen, daß die oberste Zeile der Bildschirmanzeige nicht höher  
als die Augenhöhe eines Benutzers in sitzender Position ist.  
c)Im Fall eines stehenden Benutzers muß die Befestigung des Bildschirmgerätes derart erfolgen, daß die Höhe der  
Bildschirmmitte über dem Boden zwischen 135 – 150 cm beträgt.  
d)Der Standfuß muß die Möglichkeit zur Neigung des Bildschirmgerätes besitzen (max. vorwärts: 5°, min. nach  
hinten ≥ 5°).  
e)Der Standfuß muß die Möglichkeit zur Drehung des Bildschirmgerätes besitzen (max. ±180°). Der maximale  
Kraftaufwand dafür muß weniger als 100 N betragen.  
f) Der Standfuß muß in der Stellung verharren, in die er manuell bewegt wurde.  
g)Der Glanzgrad des Standfusses muß weniger als 20 Glanzeinheiten betragen (seidenmatt).  
h)Der Standfuß mit Bildschirmgerät muß bei einer Neigung von bis zu 10° aus der normalen aufrechten Position  
kippsicher sein.  
Hinweis zur Ergonomie :  
Dieser Monitor erfüllt die Anforderungen an die Ergonomie nach EK1-ITB2000 mit dem Videosignal, 2560 ×  
1600 , Digital Eingang und mindestens 60,0 Hz Bildwiederholfrequenz, non interlaced. Weiterhin wird aus  
ergonomischen Gründen empfohlen, die Grundfarbe Blau nicht auf dunklem Untergrund zu verwenden (schlechte  
Erkennbarkeit, Augenbelastung bei zu geringem Zeichenkontrast.)
