Hardware Requirements
This monitor requires a computer with a suitable on-board sub-system or
Video Adapter card that can support SXGA 1280 x 1024, XGA 1024 x 768,
SVGA 800 x 600, or VGA 640 x 480 at 60 Hz. For optimal performance, the
recommended video setting is 1280 x 1024 at 60 Hz. The monitor has the
capability to receive input either from an analog graphics adapter or a Digital
Visual Interface DVI-D graphics adapter. If your PC is not already equipped
with a suitable graphics adapter, you must install one. If needed, contact
your dealer to purchase a compatible graphics adapter.

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 15 for more information.
Caring for your Monitor
Be sure to turn off the power before you perform any maintenance on the
monitor. Clean your monitor as follows:
•
•
Gently wipe the device covers and the screen with a soft cloth.
Remove finger marks and grease with a damp cloth and mild detergent;
do not use solvents or abrasives
•
Never use flammable cleaning material to clean your IBM monitor or any
other electrical apparatus.

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

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 1280 × 1024 addressability at 60Hz vertical refresh rate.
For the display modes listed below, the screen image has been optimized
during manufacture.
