8PRECAUTIONS

LCD Panel

When the monitor is cold and brought into a room or the room

temperature goes up quickly, dew condensation may occur inside

and outside the monitor. In that case, do not turn the monitor on

and wait until dew condensation disappears, otherwise it may

cause some damages to it.

In order to suppress the luminosity change by long-term use and to

maintain the stable luminosity, use of a monitor in lower

brightness is recommended.

The screen may have defective pixels. These pixels may appear as

slightly light or dark area on the screen. This is due to the

characteristics of the panel itself, and not the product.

The backlight of the LCD panel has a fixed life span. When the

screen becomes dark or begins to flicker, please contact your

dealer.

Do not press on the panel or edge of the frame strongly, as this

may result in damage to the screen. There will be prints left on the

screen if the pressed image is dark or black. If pressure is

repeatedly applied to the screen, it may deteriorate or damage

your LCD panel. Leave the screen white to decrease the prints.

Do not scratch or press on the panel with any sharp objects, such

as a pencil or pen as this may result in damage to the panel. Do

not attempt to brush with tissues as this may scratch the LCD

panel.

When the screen image is changed after displaying the same image

for extended periods of time, an afterimage may appear. Use the

screen saver or timer to avoid displaying the same image for

extended periods of time.

9. GLOSSARY

Clock

With the analog input signal display, the analog signal is converted to a digital

signal by the LCD circuitry. To convert the signal correctly, the LCD monitor needs

to produce the same number clock pulse as the dot clock of the graphics system.

When the clock pulse is not correctly set, some vertical bars of distortion are

displayed on the screen.

DVI

(Digital Visual Interface)

A digital flat panel interface. DVI can transmit digital data from the PC directly

without loss with the signal transition method “TMDS”.There are two kinds of

DVI connectors. One is DVI-D connector for digital signal input only. The other is

DVI-I connector for both digital and analog signal inputs.

DVI DMPM

(DVI Digital Monitor Power Management)

The Power management system for the digital interface. The “Monitor ON” status

(operation mode) and the “Active Off” status (power-saving mode) are

indispensable for the DVI-DMPM as the monitor’s power mode.

Gain Adjustment

Adjusts each color parameter for red, green and blue. The color of the LCD

monitor is displayed through the color filter of the LCD panel. Red, green and blue

are the three primary colors. The colors on the monitor are displayed by

combining these three colors. The color tone can change by adjusting the

illumination amount passed through each color’s filter.

Gamma

Generally, the relationship that the light intensity values of a monitor change

nonlinearly to the input signal level is called “Gamma Characteristic”. On the

monitor, low gamma values display the whitish images and high gamma values

display the high contrast images.

Phase

The phase adjustment decides the sampling timing point for converting the analog

input signal to a digital signal. Adjusting the phase after the clock adjustment will

produce a clear screen.

English

9. GLOSSARY 39

Range Adjustment

The Range Adjustment controls the level of output signal range to display the

whole color gradation.

Resolution

The LCD panel consists of a fixed number of pixel elements which are illuminated

to form the screen image. This products’ display panel consists of 1280 horizontal

pixels and 1024 vertical pixels. At a resolution of 1280 x 1024, all pixels are

displayed as a full screen.

sRGB

(Standard RGB)

“International Standard for Red, Green, and Blue color space” A color space was

defined with the aim of the color matching between applications and hardware

devices, such as monitors, scanners, printers and digital cameras. As a standard

default space, sRGB allows Internet users to closely match colors.

Temperature

Color Temperature is a method to measure the white color tone, generally

indicated in degrees Kelvin. At high temperatures the white tone appears

somewhat blue, while at lower temperatures it appears somewhat red. Computer

monitors generally give best performance at high temperature settings.

5,000 K: Slightly reddish white.

6,500 K: Warm-white tone, similar to white paper or daylight.

9,300 K: Slightly bluish white.

TMDS

(Transition Minimized Differential Signaling)

A signal transition method for the digital interface.

VESA DPMS

(Video Electronics Standards Association - Display Power Management Signaling)

The acronym VESA stands for “Video Electronics Standards Association”, and

DPMS stands for “Display Power Management Signaling”. DPMS is a

communication standard that PCs and graphics boards use to implement power

savings on the monitor side.

Congratulations!

You have just purchased a TCO’99 approved and labelled

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 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 their manufacture. Since it is not so far

possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of electronics equipment, 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 electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (e.g. acidic

and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to save energy. Electronics

equipment in offices is often left running continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.

What does labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO’99 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).

Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability,

emission of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.

The environmental demands impose 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 policy 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.

You will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product on the

right. The complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from:

Environmental Requirements

Flame retardants

Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings.

Their purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in

a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain

bromine or chloride, and those flame retardants are chemically related to another group of

environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chloride and

the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to severe health effects, including reproductive damage

in fish-eating 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.

The relevant TCO’99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25

grams must not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame

retardants are allowed in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.

Cadmium**

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating layers of certain

computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.

The relevant TCO’99 requirement states that batteries, the colour-generating layers of

display screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium.

Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system

and is toxic in high doses.

The relevant TCO’99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury. It also

demands that mercury is not present in any of the electrical or electronics components

associated with the labelled unit.

CFCs (freons)

The relevant TCO’99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during

the manufacture and assembly of the product. 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 e.g. increased risks

of skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a consequence.

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.

The relevant TCO’99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet

been developed.

* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms.

** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are haevy metals which are Bio-accumulative.
