Hardware Requirements
This monitor requires a computer with a suitable on-board sub-system or
Video Adapter card that can support XGA 1024 × 768, SVGA 800 x 600, or
VGA 640 x 480 at 60 Hz.
Handling Instructions
Do not support the monitor
within the screen area. The

excessive pressure.
2. Before using your monitor for the first time, remove the clear protective
film from the front of the screen.
Workplace Preparation
This section gives advice
Height
on what you should
consider before you set up your
monitor.
The monitor should be positioned so that the top of the screen is slightly
below your eye level when you sit at your workstation.
Orientation
Choose a position that gives the least reflection from lights and windows,
usually at a right angle to any windows. The monitor should be positioned
directly in front of you so that you do not have to twist your body to use it. Tilt
the monitor to a comfortable viewing angle.

Adjusting the Monitor Position
Viewing Angle
You can tilt the screen backward and forward as shown below.
Working Practices
This section gives
advice on how you can
work comfortably and reduce
fatigue.
Rest
Take regular breaks. Vary your posture, stand up and stretch occasionally as
prolonged use of computer workstations can be tiring.
Back
You should sit back in your chair and use the backrest.
Hands
Adjust the seat height so that your forearms are approximately horizontal and
your wrists are straight when using the keyboard. Your upper arms should be
relaxed with your elbows near your body.
Use a light touch on the keyboard, keeping your hands and fingers relaxed.
Allow a space in front of the keyboard to rest your wrists when not typing.
Consider using a wristpad.

T54A-E.book Page 4 Saturday, February 19, 2000 12:05 PM
Eyesight
Working with monitors, in common with any prolonged close work, can be
visually demanding. Look away from the screen periodically and have your
eyesight checked regularly.
Screen settings
Set the screen brightness and contrast to a comfortable level. You may have
to adjust this as the lighting changes during the day. Many application
programs let you select color combinations which can help you to view in
comfort. See the User controls section on page 13 for more information.

Auto Setup
Before carrying out this
section, it is very
important that The Setup
Diskette for Windows 95 or
Windows 98 has been run.
(see page 6)
When you first use your monitor you must perform Auto Setup. This
procedure sets up your monitor to process the video signals from your
computer without image discoloration or smearing. After you perform Auto
Setup, the settings are stored and used each time you turn on the monitor.
In order to optimise the displayed image a set-up utility is provided on the IBM
Monitor Installation Diskette. Operation of the utility is dependent on the
operating system on your PC. For correct operation locate the operating
system on your PC from the table below and follow the appropriate
instructions. You may choose to run AUTO SETUP for each operating system
that you use. This means that if you sometimes use your monitor while
running any version of Windows and sometimes also use it from within DOS
(not a DOS window), you must run AUTO SETUP for both Windows and DOS.
You may run versions of AUTO SETUP in any order.
The Setup Utility
included on the setup
diskette is for displaying do
patterns. They do not replace
or modify the display dirver.
The Auto Setup instructions
require the monitor to be
warmed up for 15 minutes.
This is not required for normal
operation.

Further Information
Display modes
The display mode the monitor uses is controlled by the computer. Therefore,
you should refer to your computer documentation for details on how to
change display modes.
The image size, position and shape may change when the display mode
changes. This is normal and the image can be readjusted using AUTO SETUP
and the monitor controls.
Unlike CRT monitors, which require a high refresh rate to minimize flicker,
TFT technology is inherently flicker-free. If possible, configure your computer
for 1024 × 768 addressability at 60Hz vertical refresh rate.
For the display modes listed below, the screen image has been optimized
during manufacture.
