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 16 inches

and no further away than 28 inches from your

eyes. The optimal distance is 23 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:

•

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 between 60-75Hz

•

Do not use primary color blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see and

may produce eye fatigue to insufficient contrast

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.

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

mini D-SUB connector. Provides traditional MultiSync

technology compatibility for analog

as well as TMDS™-based (Transition Minimized Differential Signaling) digital compatibility

for digital inputs. TMDS-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 integra-

tion for both digital and analog, The digital portion is TMDS-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 TMDS-based digital

only connection, only a simple adapter is necessary for compatibility between DVI-D and

other TMDS-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 TMDS-based digital only connection, only a simple adapter is

necessary for compatibility between DFP and other TMDS-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 TMDS-based connector (for the digital input pins), only a simple

adapter is necessary for compatibility between P&D and other TMDS-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.

AccuColor

Control Systems: Six color presets select the desired color setting (sRGB an

NATIVE color presets are standard and cannot be changed). Color temperature increases

or decreases, in each preset. R,Y,G,C,B,M,S: Increases or decreases Red, Yellow, Green,

Cyan, Blue, Magenta and Saturation depending upon which is selected. The change in

color will appear on screen and the direction (increase or decrease) will be shown by the

color bars. NATIVE:

Original color presented by the LCD panel that is unadjustable.

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.

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 recom-

mended settings.

• Check the signal cable connector for bent or pushed-in pins.

• Check the signal input, “INPUT 1” or “INPUT 2”.

Power Button does not respond

• 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 right side of the monitor.

Image persistence

• Image persistence is when a “ghost” of an image remains on the screen even after the

monitor has been turned off. Unlike CRT monitors, LCD monitors’ image 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 ”ghost” of

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 of America

recommends using a screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle.

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).

TCO’95

MultiSync LCD1850X Black Model (LH-18S02-BK1)

Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO’95 approved and

labeled product! Your choice has provided you with a product developed

for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the

burden on the environment and also, to the further development of

environmentally adapted electronics products.

Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?

In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method for encourag-

ing 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.

What does labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO’95 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),

Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and NUTEK (The

National Board for Industrial and Technical Development in Sweden).

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 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.

Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the

reduction of electric and magnetic fields, physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.

TCO’95 is a co-operative project between TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional

Employees), Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and

NUTEK (The National Board for Industrial and Technical Development in Sweden).

Environmental Requirements

Brominated flame retardants

Brominated 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. These are related to another group of

environmental toxins, PCBs, which are suspected to give rise to similar harm, including

multisync(1850X) 01.4.2, 5:03 PM20

reproductive damage in fisheating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative*

processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear that

disturbances in foetus development may occur.

TCO’95 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not

contain organically bound chlorine and bromine.

Lead**

Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages

the nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning.

TCO’95 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.

TCO’95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million)

of cadmium. The colourgenerating layers of display screens must not contain any cadmium.

Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays, switches, and back-light systems, Mercury

damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.

TCO’95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million)

of mercury. It also demands that no mercury is present in any of the electrical or electronics

components concerned with the display unit, except the back-light system.

CFCs (freons)

CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards and in the manufacturing

of expanded foam for packaging. 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).

The relevant TCO’95 requirement; Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the

manufacturing 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.
