AccuColor Control Systems (Color Control Systems)  
AccuColor Control Systems: Six colour presets select the desired colour setting. Colour temperature  
increases or decreases in each preset. (NATIVE and sRGB colour preset cannot be changed.)  
NATIVE: Original colour presented by the LCD panel that is unadjustable.  
Tools 1  
SHARPNESS: This function is digitally capable to keep crisp image at any timings. It is continuously  
adjustable to get distinct image or soft one as you prefer, and set independently by different timings.  
The number of adjustment steps is different depending on whether EXPANSION Mode is OFF, FULL or  
ASPECT (1280 x 1024 is OFF Mode).  
EXPANSION MODE: Sets the zoom method.  
FULL: The image is expanded to 1280 x 1024, regardless of the resolution.  
ASPECT: The image is expanded without changing the aspect ratio.  
OFF: The image is not expanded.  
CUSTOM: Select one of the expansion rates from 1.0 to 3.0 times individually at horizontal and  
vertical. This mode is for use with special video cards.  
RESOLUTION NOTIFIER: This optimal resolution is 1280 x 1024. If ON is selected, a message will appear  
on the screen after 30 seconds, notifying you that the resolution is not at 1280 x 1024.  
VIDEO DETECT: Selects the method of video detection when more than one computer is connected.  
FIRST DETECT: The video input has to be switched to FIRST DETECTmode. 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. The monitor will not look for other video signals while the  
current video source is present.  
LAST DETECT: The video input has to be switched to the LAST DETECTmode. 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.  
NONE: The Monitor will not search the other video input port unless the monitor is turned on.

*1 Interpolated Resolutions: When resolutions are shown that are lower than the pixel count of the LCD module, text may appear different. This is  
normal and necessary for all current flat panel technologies when displaying non-native resolutions full screen. In flat panel technologies, each dot on  
the screen is actually one pixel, so to expand resolutions to full screen, an interpolation of the resolution must be done.  
NOTE:  
Technical specifications are subject to change without notice.  
English-12  
Features  
ambix Technology: Dual input technology allowing both analog and digital inputs off of one connector (DVI-I) as well as  
additional legacy analog support off of a traditional 15-pin VGA connector. Provides traditional MultiSync 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: The integrated interface ratified by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) that allows both digital and analog  
connectors off of one port.  
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.  
Reduced Footprint: Provides the ideal solution for environments requiring superior image quality but with size and weight  
limitations. The monitors small footprint and low weight allow it to be moved or transported easily from one location to another.  
AccuColour Control System (Colour Control System): Allows you to adjust the colours on your screen and customize 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® 95/98/2000 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 cards scanning frequency, thus displaying the  
resolution required.  
FullScan Capability: Allows you to use the entire screen area in most resolutions, significantly expanding image size.  
XtraView+ (Wide Viewing Angle) Technology: Allows the user to be able to see the monitor from any angle (170 degrees)  
from any orientation Portrait or Landscape. Provides full 170° 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.

Unplug the power cord of the monitor from the AC outlet to turn off and reset the monitor, or simultaneously press the  
RESET and Power buttons.  
Check the Vacation Switch on the left side of the monitor.  
Image persistence  
Image persistence is when a ghostof an image remains on the screen even after the monitor has been turned off.  
Unlike CRT monitors, LCD monitorsimage persistence is not permanent. To alleviate image persistence, turn the  
monitor off for as long as an image was displayed. If an image was on the monitor for one hour and a ghostof that  
image remains, the monitor should be turned off for one hour to erase the image.  
NOTE:  
As with all personal display devices, NEC-Mitsubishi Electronics Display recommends using a screen saver at  
regular intervals whenever the screen is idle.  
Message “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed (screen is either blank or shows rough images only)  
Image is displayed only roughly (pixels are missing) and OSM warning OUT OF RANGEis displayed: Either signal  
clock or resolution is too high. Choose one of the supported modes.  
OSM warning OUT OF RANGEis displayed on a blank screen: Signal frequency is out of range. Choose one of the  
supported modes.  
Image is unstable, unfocused or swimming is apparent  
Signal cable should be completely attached to the computer.  
Use the OSM Image Adjust controls to focus and adjust display by increasing or decreasing the fine total. When the  
display mode is changed, the OSM Image Adjust settings may need to be re-adjusted.  
Check the monitor and your display card with respect to compatibility and recommended signal timings.  
If your text is garbled, change the video mode to non-interlace and use 60Hz refresh rate.  
LED on monitor is not lit (no green or amber color can be seen)  
Power Switch should be in the ON position and power cord should be connected.  
Display image is not sized properly  
Use the OSM Image Adjust controls to increase or decrease the Coarse total.  
Check to make sure that a supported mode has been selected on the display card or system being used.  
(Please consult display card or system manual to change graphics mode.)  
No Video  
If no video is present on the screen, turn the Power button off and on again.  
Make certain the computer is not in a power-saving mode (touch the keyboard or mouse).

doses, causes lead poisoning.  
TCO99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no  
replacement has yet been developed.  
Cadmium**  
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the  
colourgenerating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium  
damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.  
TCO99 requirement states that batteries, the colourgenerating  
layers of display screens and the electrical or electronics  
components must not contain any cadmium.  
Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?  
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  
computers and other electronics equipment are concerned, is that  
environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products  
and during the manufacturing. Since it has not been possible for  
the majority of electronics 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 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 conventional electricity generation have a negative  
effect on the environment (acidic and climate-influencing  
emissions, radioactive waste, etc.), it is vital to conserve energy.  
Electronics equipment in offices consume an enormous amount of  
energy since they are often left running continuously.  
Mercury**  
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches,  
Mercury damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.  
TCO99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any  
Mercury. It also demands that no mercury is present in any of  
the electrical or electronics components associated with the  
display unit.  
CFCs (freons)  
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 consequent increased risks of skin cancer  
(malignant melanoma).  
What does labelling involve?  
This product meets the requirements for the TCO99 scheme  
which provides for international and environmental labelling of  
personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a  
joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional  
Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish  
Society for Nature Conservation) and Statens Energimyndighet  
(The Swedish National Energy Administration).  
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 relevant TCO99 requirement; Neither CFCs nor HCFCs  
may be used during the manufacturing and assembly of the  
product or its packaging.  
*Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate  
within living organisms.  
**Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are  
Bio-accumulative.  
To obtain complete information on the environmental criteria  
document, order from:  
The environmental demands concern restrictions on the presence  
and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame  
retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, among other  
things. 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 implements its  
operational policy. The energy requirements include a demand that  
the computer and/or display, 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 computer shall be  
reasonable for the user.

physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.  
Environmental Requirements  
Flame retardants  
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. Most flame retardants contain  
bromine or chloride and these are related to another group of  
environmental toxins, PCBs, which are suspected to give rise to  
severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fisheating  
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.  
TCO99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more  
than 25 grams must not contain flame retardants with organically  
bound chlorine and bromine. Flame retardants are allowed in the  
printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.
