CAUTION
•
•
The power cable connector is the primary means of detaching the system from the power supply. The
monitor should be installed close to a power outlet which is easily accessible.
Handle with care when transporting. Save packaging for transporting.
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.

Features
Ambix3 Technology: Triple input technology allowing up to 3 input sources to be connected to a single monitor. The DVI-I connector
supports both analog and digital input signals. Legacy analog input is supported using a traditional 15-pin VGA connector. Ambix3 provides
traditional technology compatibility for analog as well as DVI-based digital compatibility for digital inputs. DVI-based digital interfaces include
DVI-D, DFP and P&D.
DVI-I: The integrated interface ratified by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) that allows both digital and analog connectors off of one
port. The “I” stands for integration for both digital and analog, The digital portion is DVI-based.
DVI-D: The digital-only subset of DVI ratified by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) for digital connections between computers and
displays. As a digital-only connector, analog support is not provided off a DVI-D connector. As a DVI-based digital only connection, only a
simple adapter is necessary for compatibility between DVI-D and other DVI-based digital connectors such as DFP and P&D.
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 committe 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 colours on your screen and customize the colour accuracy of your monitor to a variety of
standards.
OmniColor: Combines Six-axis colour control and the sRGB standard. Six-axis colour control permits colour 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
colour profile. This assures that the colours displayed on the monitor are exactly the same as on the colour printout (with sRGB supporting
operating system and sRGB printer). This allows you to adjust the colours on your screen and customise the colour accuracy of your monitor
to a variety of standards.
OSM (On-Screen Manager) Controls: Allow you to quickly and easily adjust all elements of your screen image via simple to use on-screen
menus.
ErgoDesign Features: Enhance human ergonomics to improve the working environment, protect the health of the user and save money.
Examples include OSM 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.
IPM (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 degrees) 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.
NaViSet: Is a ground-breaking software family, developed by NEC Display Solutions Europe GmbH, 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, NaViSet can either benefit single users or, with NaViSet Administrator, can reduce the Total Cost of Ownership through remote
network-wide maintenance, diagnosis and asset-reporting.
CableComp automatic long cable compensation prevents image quality degradation caused by long cable lengths.
No-touch Auto Adjust (Analog input only): No-touch auto adjust automatically adjusts the monitor to optimal settings upon initial setup.
sRGB Color Control: A new optimized colour management standard which allows for colour matching on computer displays and other
peripherals. The sRGB, which is based on the calibrated colour space, allows for optimal colour representation and backward compatibility
with other common colour standards.
ColorComp: This feature compensates for slight variations in the white uniformity level that may occur on the screen and improves the colour
and evens out the luminance uniformity of the display.
Over Drive: Improved gray to gray response.
Adjustable stand with pivot capability: Adds flexibility to your viewing preferences.
Quick Release stand: Allows fast removal.
AmbiBright technology: Automatically adjusts the backlight level depending on the level of ambient lighting.

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.
Message “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed (screen is either blank or shows rough images only)

input port. If the video signal is present in the other port, then the monitor switches the
video source input port to the new found video source automatically. The monitor will not
look for other video signals while the current video source is present.
LAST: The video input has to be switched to the “LAST” mode. When the monitor is
displaying a signal from the current source and a new secondary source is supplied to the
monitor, then the monitor will automatically switch to the new video source. When current
video input signal is not present, then the monitor searches for a video signal from the
other video input port. If the video signal is present in the other port, then the monitor
switches the video source input port to the new found video source automatically.

900 seconds. Timing is set in 10-second increments.
OPTION (Default REDUCED): There are two optional selections.
REDUCED: Screen image is reduced to 95% size and is moved periodically in 4
directions. Screen may appear slightly less sharp than normal. The full image appears on
the display.
FULL: Screen image is set to FULL and is moved periodically in 4 directions. Screen
image goes outside of the display area in the direction that it shifts so that a portion of the
image may appear to be cut off.
GAMMA (Default OFF): When OFF, the GAMMA selection that the display uses is the
same as the GAMMA selection in Tag5 (page 20).
When ON is selected, the GAMMA curve (except PROGRAMMABLE) becomes narrow,
reducing the contrast and cutting down the risk of image retention.
