COLOR VISION EMU Previews various typical human vision deﬁciencies and is useful for evaluating how

people who have such deﬁciencies will perceive colors. This preview is available in four

modes: Types P (Protanopia), D (Deutanopia) and T (Tritanopia) emulate color vision

dichromacy, and Grayscale can be used for evaluating contrast legibility.

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.

NOTE: Using the UNIFORMITY feature does reduce 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. A higher number produces a better effect, but

may also reduce CONTRAST RATIO. When BRIGHTNESS is shown in magenta, the

UNIFORMITY setting is automatically changed.

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 1mm²should be used in Europe).

•

In UK, use a BS-approved power cord with molded plug having a black (5A) 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 high temperatured, 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.

Immediately turn off the power, unplug your monitor from the wall outlet and move to a safe location then refer servicing to

qualiﬁed service personnel under the following conditions. If the monitor is used in this condition, the monitor may cause fall, ﬁre

and electric shock:

•

If the monitor stand has been cracked or peeled.

If the monitor has been wobbled.

If the monitor has an unusual odor.

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.

•

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.

CAUTION

•

Handle with care when transporting. Save packaging for transporting.

Do not touch LCD panel surface while transporting, mounting and setting. Applying pressure on the LCD

panel can cause serious damage.

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-24

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 the display to 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 (15.75 inches) and no further away than

70 cm (27.56 inches) from your eyes. The optimal distance is 50 cm (19.69 inches).

•

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:

•

To avoid eye fatigue, adjust the brightness to a moderate setting. Place a sheet of white paper next to the LCD screen for

luminance reference.

•

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 LCD is dusty, please gently wipe with a 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 discoloration 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.

Features

DisplayPort: DisplayPort is designed to be the future-ready, scalable solution for high performance digital display connectivity. It

enables the highest resolutions, the fastest refresh rates and deepest color depths over standard cables.

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 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°) 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, 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.

No-touch Auto Adjust*¹(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.

USB 2.0 hub adds excitement to your computing by connecting you to digital cameras, scanners and more.

*1 Only for PA241W.

Check the signal input, “DVI-D”, “DisplayPort” or “D-Sub”.

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 User’s

Manual included with the device for detailed information on changing the signal from interlaced to progressive.

Power Button does not respond

Unplug the power cord of the monitor from the AC outlet to turn off and reset 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.

Picture is discolored

•

Make sure COLOR VISION EMU is OFF.

Make sure PICTURE MODE setting is same as ICC proﬁle on PC.

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 “ON” in 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).

2. Set the DARK level. This is the level of brightness that the monitor will go down to when the ambient light level is low.

Make sure the room is at its darkest when setting this level.

Then use the front buttons to move the cursor up to the BRIGHTNESS setting. Choose the desired brightness level

(Figure 3).

monitors and electrical accessories, such as signal cables or power cords. When you need to dispose of your

NEC display products, please follow the guidance of your local authority, or ask the shop where you purchased

the product, or if applicable, follow any agreements made between yourself and NEC.

The mark on electrical and electronic products only applies to the current European Union Member States.

Outside the European Union

If you wish to dispose of used electrical and electronic products outside the European Union, please contact your local authority

so as to comply with the correct disposal method.
