Safety Precautions and Maintenance  
FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE, PLEASE NOTE  
THE FOLLOWING WHEN SETTING UP AND  
USING THE LCD COLOR MONITOR:  
DO NOT OPEN THE MONITOR. There are no user serviceable parts inside and opening or removing covers may expose  
you to dangerous shock hazards or other risks. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.  
Do not spill any liquids into the cabinet or use your monitor near water.  
Do not insert objects of any kind into the cabinet slots, as they may touch dangerous voltage points, which can be harmful  
or fatal or may cause electric shock, fire or equipment failure.  
Do not place any heavy objects on the power cord. Damage to the cord may cause shock or fire.  
Do not place this product on a sloping or unstable cart, stand or table, as the monitor may fall, causing serious damage to  
the monitor.  
The power supply cord you use must have been approved by and comply with the safety standards of your country.  
(Type H05VV-F 3G 1mm2 should be used in Europe).  
In UK, use a BS-approved power cord with molded plug having a black (13A) fuse installed for use with this monitor.  
Do not place any objects onto the monitor and do not use the monitor outdoors.  
The lamps in this product contain mercury. Please dispose according to state, local or federal law.  
Do not bend power cord.  
Do not use monitor in very hot, humid, dusty, or oily areas.  
Do not cover vent on monitor.  
Vibration can damage the backlight. Do not install where the monitor will be exposed to continual vibration.  
If monitor or glass is broken, do not come in contact with the liquid crystal and handle with care.  
To prevent damage to the LCD monitor caused by tipping over due to earthquakes or other shocks, make sure to install  
the monitor in a stable location and take measures to prevent falling.  
Immediately unplug your monitor from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following  
conditions:  
When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.  
If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the monitor.  
If the monitor has been exposed to rain or water.  
If the monitor has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.  
If the monitor does not operate normally by following operating instructions.  
Allow adequate ventilation around the monitor so that heat can properly dissipate.  
Do not block ventilated openings or place the monitor near a radiator or other heat sources.  
Do not put anything on top of monitor.  
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.  
The monitor must be installed or carried by two or more people.  
Carry the monitor holding the built-in handle and bottom frames of the  
monitor.  
Do not carry holding only the stand.  
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.  
English-3  
CORRECT PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR CAN  
REDUCE EYE, SHOULDER AND NECK FATIGUE. CHECK THE  
FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION THE MONITOR:  
For optimum performance, allow 20 minutes for warm-up.  
Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye level.  
Your eyes should look slightly downward when viewing the middle of the screen.  
Position your monitor no closer than 40 cm and no further away than 70 cm from your  
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 monitor’s 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 Color Setting.  
Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate of more than 60 Hz.  
Do not use primary color blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see and may produce eye fatigue due to insufficient  
contrast.  
Cleaning the LCD Panel  
When the liquid crystal panel is stained with dust or dirt, please wipe gently with soft cloth.  
Please do not rub the LCD panel with hard or coarse material.  
Please do not apply pressure to the LCD surface.  
Please do not use OA cleaner as 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.

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 OSD button to delay the turn off time.  
OFF MODE  
This function allows the monitor to enter into a power saving mode after a period of inactivity.  
The OFF MODE has three settings.  
OFF: Monitor does not go into power save mode when the input signal is lost.  
STANDARD: Monitor enters power save mode automatically when the input signal is lost.  
OPTION: Monitor enters power save mode automatically when the amount of surrounding light goes below the a  
level that is determined by the user. The level can be adjusted in Tag7 of the Advanced OSD Control menu.  
When in power save mode, the LED on the front of the monitor blinks amber. While in power save mode, push any of  
the front buttons, except for POWER and SELECT to return to normal.  
When the amount of surrounding light returns to normal levels, the monitor will automatically return to normal mode.  
UNIFORMITY  
This function electronically compensates for the slight variations in the white uniformity level, as well as for  
deviations in color that may occur throughout the display area of the screen. These variations are characteristic of  
LCD panel technology. This function improves the color and evens out the luminance uniformity of the display.  
Settings from 1 to 5 are available. 1 is the lowest amount of compensation and 5 is the highest.  
NOTE: Using the UNIFORMITY feature reduces the overall peak luminance of the display. If greater luminance is  
desired over the uniform performance of the display, then UNIFORMITY should be turned off.

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  
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 committee 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 colors on your screen and customize the color accuracy of your monitor to a variety of  
standards.  
Natural color matrix: Combines Six-axis color control and the sRGB standard. Six-axis color control permits color 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 color profile. This assures that the colors displayed on the monitor are exactly the same as on the color printout (with sRGB  
supporting operating system and sRGB printer). This allows you to adjust the colors on your screen and customise the color accuracy of your  
monitor to a variety of standards.  
OSD (On-Screen Display) Controls: Allow you to quickly and easily adjust all elements of your screen image via simple to use on-screen  
menus.  
ErgoDesign Features: Enhanced human ergonomics to improve the working environment, protect the health of the user and save money.  
Examples include OSD 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.  
Intelligent power management 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°) 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.  
Visual Controller: 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, Visual Controller can either benefit single users or, with Visual Controller 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 color management standard which allows for color matching on computer displays and other  
peripherals. The sRGB, which is based on the calibrated color space, allows for optimal color representation and backward compatibility with  
other common color standards.  
UNIFORMITY: This feature compensates for slight variations in the white uniformity level that may occur on the screen and improves the  
color and evens out the luminance uniformity of the display.  
Response Improve: Improved gray to gray response.  
Adjustable stand with pivot capability: Adds flexibility to your viewing preferences.  
Quick Release stand: Allows fast removal.  
Auto dimming technology: Automatically adjusts the backlight level depending on the level of ambient lighting.  
AUTO LUMINANCE: Turns on the built-in backlight sensor, the AUTO LUMINANCE function can be used to maintain a selected level of light  
output as well as correcting for short-term fluctuations. AUTO LUMINANCE also brings the display up to optimum output soon after powering  
on. This application is especially useful for displays that will be calibrated.  
When auto luminance is enabled the display will reduce the output brightness to a preset level and the OSD will indicate the luminance level  
in estimated candelas per meter squared (cd/m2).

Troubleshooting  
No picture  
The signal cable should be completely connected to the display card/computer.  
The display card should be completely seated in its slot.  
Check the Vacation Switch should be in the ON position.  
Front Power Switch and computer power switch should be in the ON position.  
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.)  
Check the monitor and your display card with respect to compatibility and recommended settings.  
Check the signal cable connector for bent or pushed-in pins.  
Check the signal input, “DVI-D” or “DVI-I”.  
Ensure the DVI input mode is set to DIGITAL when the MAC digital output is connected to the DVI-I connector.  
If the front LED is blinking amber, check the status of the OFF MODE mode (see page 13).  
When using a DVD player or any other type of high-definition device, please do not use interlaced signals. If the monitor  
detects an interlaced signal, an OSD warning will appear. If this OSD warning appears, please do the following: press  
the RESET and EXIT buttons simultaneously, to temporarily show the image coming from the high-definition device.  
While the image is visible, change the signal of the device from interlaced to progressive (non-interlaced). Consult the

Power Button does not respond  
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 “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)  
Image is displayed only roughly (pixels are missing) and OSD warning “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed: Either signal  
clock or resolution is too high. Choose one of the supported modes.  
OSD warning “OUT OF RANGE” is 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 OSD Image Adjust controls to focus and adjust display by increasing or decreasing the FINE adjustment.  
When the display mode is changed, the OSD 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-interlaced and use 60Hz refresh rate.  
LED on monitor is not lit (no green, blue or amber color can be seen)  
Power Switch should be in the ON position and power cord should be connected.

A-NTAA SW  
(Analog input only)  
The Advanced No Touch Auto Adjust function is able to recognize new signals even when  
neither the resolution nor the refresh rate has changed. If several PCs are connected to  
the monitor, and each transmit very similar (or even the same) signals in terms of  
resolution and refresh rates, the monitor recognizes that there is a new signal and  
automatically optimizes the picture without the need for any action on the part of the user.  
OFF: A-NTAA is disabled.  
ON: If a change in signal is detected A-NTAA will adjust the monitor to the optimal settings  
for the new signal. If no change in the signal is detected then A-NTAA does not activate.  
The screen will be blank while the monitor optimizes the signal.  
OPTION: Functions the same as ON, except that the screen does not go blank when the  
monitor makes adjustments for changes in signal, allowing the monitor to display the new  
signal faster. When using an external switching device to connect 2 or more PCs to the  
monitor, using the ON or OPTION settings is suitable.
