eyes. The optimal distance is 50 cm.  
Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at least 20 feet away. Blink often.  
Position the monitor at a 90° angle to windows and other light sources to minimize glare  
and reflections. Adjust the monitor tilt so that ceiling lights do not reflect on your screen.  
If reflected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use an anti-glare filter.  
Clean the LCD monitor surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using any  
cleaning solution or glass cleaner!  
Adjust the monitors brightness and contrast controls to enhance readability.  
Use a document holder placed close to the screen.  
Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen or reference material) directly in front of you to minimize  
turning your head while you are typing.  
Avoid displaying fixed patterns on the monitor for long periods of time to avoid image persistence (after-image effects).  
Get regular eye checkups.  
Ergonomics  
To realize the maximum ergonomics benefits, we recommend the following:  
Adjust the Brightness until the background raster disappears.  
Do not position the Contrast control to its maximum setting.  
Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals.  
Use the preset Colour Setting.  
Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate more than 60 Hz.  
Do not use primary colour blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see and may produce eye fatigue to insufficient  
contrast.  
Cleaning the LCD Panel  
When the liquid crystal panel is stained with dust or dirt, please wipe with soft cloth gently.  
Please do not rub the LCD panel with hard material.  
Please do not apply pressure to the LCD surface.  
Please do not use OA cleaner it will cause deterioration or discolor on the LCD surface.  
Cleaning the Cabinet  
Unplug the power supply  
Gently wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth  
To clean the cabinet, dampen the cloth with a neutral detergent and water, wipe the cabinet and follow with a dry cloth.  
NOTE:  
Many plastics are used on the surface of the cabinet. DO NOT clean with benzene, thinner, alkaline detergent,  
alcoholic system detergent, glass cleaner, wax, polish cleaner, soap powder, or insecticide. Do not touch rubber or  
vinyl to the cabinet for a long time. These types of fluids and fabrics can cause the paint to deteriorate, crack or  
peel.

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.

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 Istands 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  
monitors 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® 95/98/2000/Me/XP 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.  
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.

Unplug the power cord of the monitor from the AC outlet to turn off and reset the monitor.  
Check the Vacation Switch on the left side of the monitor.  
Image Persistence  
Image persistence is when a residual or ghostimage of a previous image remains visible on the screen. Unlike CRT  
monitors, LCD monitorsimage 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)  
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 readjusted.  
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, blue or amber colour can be seen)  
Power Switch should be in the ON position and power cord should be connected.

level as well as for deviations in colour that may occur throughout the display area of the  
screen. These variations are characteristic of LCD panel technology. This function  
improves the colour and evens out the luminance uniformity of the display.  
NOTE: Using the COLORCOMP feature does reduce the overall peak luminance of the  
display. If greater luminance is desired over the uniform performance of the display, then  
COLORCOMP should be turned off.

This function changes the display image to monochrome.  
There are 3 types of settings.  
OFF: The Display Image is COLOUR.  
MODE1: Input is R/G/B Colour, but monitor uses only Green. The Display Image will  
become monochrome, because only green data passes the R/G/B LUT.  
MODE2: Input is R/G/B Colour, but monitor changes the colour space to YUV. The Display  
Image will become monochrome, because only Y data passes the R/G/B LUT.  
OSM Rotation  
Image Rotation  
AUTO: The OSM rotates automatically when the monitor is rotated. OSM ROTATION is  
set to AUTO by default.  
MANUAL: To rotate the OSM, press the ROTATE OSM button when the OSM is not  
showing.  
AUTO: The display image automatically rotates according to the orientation of the OSM.  
If AUTOis selected in the OSM ROTATIONmenu, the display image rotates according  
to the orientation of the monitor.  
OFF: The display image is not rotated. IMAGE ROTATION is set to OFF by default.  
ON: The display image always rotated.  
English-22  
Screen Saver  
Use the SCREEN SAVER to reduce the risk of image persistence.  
MOTION (Default OFF): Screen image is reduced to 95% size and moves periodically in  
4 directions in order to reduce the risk of image retention. Screen image can be set to  
move periodically in intervals from 10 to 900 seconds in 10 seconds increments.  
GAMMA (Default OFF): When OFF, the GAMMA selection that is used by the display is  
the same as what is selected in Tag5 (page 20). When ON is selected, the GAMMA curve  
is narrow, reducing the contrast and cutting down the risk of image retention.  
NOTE: SCREEN SAVER does not function when the TILE MATRIX function is enabled.  
When the SCREEN SAVER is on and the monitor is set to the recommended resolution,  
the screen image will be reduced to 95% and appear slightly less sharp than normal.  
Gamma screen saver is not available when using the PROGRAMMABLE mode for  
GAMMA curve.  
Input Setting  
Video Band Width (Analog input only): It is used when the unnecessary noise from  
computer appears on a screen. It is strong ineffective, so that a number becomes small.

signals. Adjusts the slice level when separating synchronization from sync On Green  
signal input. Press Leftor Rightto select.  
Edge Lock: Operating your monitor at a non-standard timing may cause images to  
appear darker than normal or have colour distortion. Use of the Edge Lock control will  
adjust images to their normal state.

Schedule  
Programs the monitors working schedule. Schedule the power on and power off with hour  
and a day of the week. Also sets the input port. This OSM cant remove except EXIT.  
Using the SCHEDULEfunction allows you to set up to seven different scheduled time  
intervals when the LCD Monitor will be activated.  
You can select the time the monitor turns on and turns off, the day of week the monitor is  
activated, and which input source the monitor will use for each scheduled activation  
period. A check mark in the box next to the number of the schedule indicates that the  
selected schedule is in effect.  
To select which schedule to set, use the up/down arrows to move the cursor vertically  
under the number (1 to 7) of the schedule.  
Use the Downor Upbuttons to move the cursor horizontally within the particular  
schedule. The SELECTbutton is used to make a selection.

time slot.  
If you do not want to use a power off time select --in the OFF time slot.  
If there is no input selected (-----showing in the input spot) the input from the previous  
schedule will be used.  
The selection of EVERY DAY within a schedule takes priority over other schedules that are  
set up to operate weekly.  
Schedules are numbered 1-7. If two schedules are programmed for the same time, then  
the highest numbered schedule has priority. For example schedule #7 will take priority  
over schedule #5.  
When schedules are overlapping, scheduled Power ON time has priority over scheduled  
Power OFF time.  
When the OFF TIMERis set, the SCHEDULEfunction is disabled.  
Before powering off, a message will appear on the screen asking the user if they want to  
delay the turn off time by 60 minutes. Press any OSM button to delay the turn off time.

Using the Auto Brightness function  
The brightness of the LCD screen can be set to increase or decrease depending on the amount of ambient light within the  
room. If the room is bright, the monitor becomes correspondingly bright. If the room is dim, then the monitor will dim  
accordingly. The purpose of this function is to make the viewing experience more comfortable to the eye in a variety of lighting  
conditions.  
The Auto Brightness function is set to OFF by default.  
SETUP  
Use the following procedure to select the Brightness Range that the monitor will use when the Auto Brightness function is  
activated.  
1. Set the BRIGHT level. This is the brightness level that the monitor will go up to when the ambient light level is highest.  
Make sure the room is at its brightest when setting this level.  
Select 1in the AUTO BRIGHTNESS menu (Figure 1). Then use the front buttons to move the cursor up to the  
BRIGHTNESS setting. Choose the desired brightness level (Figure 2).
