Handle with care when removing stand.
NOTE: Match “TOP SIDE” mark on stand to top side of the monitor head when
re-attaching stand.
Flexible Arm Installation
This LCD monitor is designed for use with a flexible arm. To mount the monitor to a flexible arm:
1. Follow the instructions on how Remove Monitor Stand for Mounting to remo\
ve the stand.
2. Using the 4 screws from the stand removal, attach the arm to the monitor\
 ( Figure F.1).
NOTE: 1. When mounting, use ONLY the screws (4 pcs) that were removed from the stand to avoid damage t\
o the
monitor or stand.
2. The LCD monitor should only be used with an approved arm (e.g. GS mark)\
. To meet the safety requirements, the monitor must be mounted to an arm, which guaranties the necessary st\
ability under consideration of the
weight of the monitor.
3. The mounting stand must be able to sustain at least 18.4 kg and be UL ce\
rtified.
Thickness of Bracket (Arm) 2.0~3.2 mm
Weight of LCD assembly: 4.5 kg MAX

Additional 4 VESA
An additional 4 VESA holes are provided for those users needing a lower \
monitor head position, than that available from the
monitor stand in shipping configuration.
The monitor stand can be re-attached using the 4 screws to the lower pos\
ition VESA holes.
NOTE:1. The monitor head tilt function may have impaired operation when attached\
 to the lower position VESA holes.
2. The monitor head pivot function should not be used when attached to the \

Tools
VIDEO DETECT: Selects the method of video detection when more than one computer is con\
nected.
FIRST:  The video input has to be switched to “FIRST” mode. When current v\
ideo input signal is not present,
then the monitor searches for a video signal from the other video input \
port. If the video signal is present in the
other port, then the monitor switches the video source input port to the\
 new found video source automatically.
The monitor will not look for other video signals while the current vide\
o source is present.
NONE:  The Monitor will not search the other video input port unless the monito\
r is turned on.
EXPANSION MODE:  Selects the zoom mode.
FULL:  The image is expanded to 1920 x 1080, regardless of the resolution.
ASPECT:  The image is expanded without changing the aspect ratio.
OFF TIMER:  Monitor will automatically power-down when you have selected a predeter\
mined amount of time.
Before powering off, a message will appear on the screen asking if you want to delay the t\
urn off time by 60 minutes.
Press any OSD button to delay the turn off time.
LED BRIGHTNESS:  You can adjust the Blue LED brightness.
DDC/CI:  This function allows the DDC/CI function ON or OFF.
FACTORY PRESET:  Selecting Factory Preset allows you to reset all OSD control settings b\
ack to the factory
settings. Individual settings can be reset by pressing the RESET/ECO MOD\
E button.

Troubleshooting
No picture• The signal cable should be completely connected to the display card/comp\
uter.
• The monitor does not support DisplayPort converter signal.
• The display card should be completely seated in its slot.
• Front Power Switch and computer power switch should be in the ON positio\
n.
• Check to make sure that a supported mode has been selected on the displa\
y 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 an\
d recommended settings.
• Check the signal cable connector for bent or pushed-in pins.
• If the front LED is dark blue, check the status of the IPM mode (see pa\
ge 12).
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 • Please be aware that LCD Technology may experience a phenomenon known as Image Persistence. ImagePersistence occurs 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 const\
ant 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 displaying moving images and
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 sh\
ows rough images only) • Image is displayed only roughly (pixels are missing) and OSD warning “\
OUT OF RANGE” is displayed: Either signalclock 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 total. When thedisplay mode is changed, the OSD Image Adjust settings may need to be re-adjusted.
• Check the monitor and your display card with respect to compatibility an\
d 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 blue or amber colour can be seen) • Power Switch should be in the ON position and power cord should be conne\
cted.
Picture is not as bright • Make sure ECO MODE and AUTO BRIGHTNESS are turned off.
• If the brightness fluctuates make sure AUTO BRIGHTNESS is turned off.
Display image is not sized properly • Use the OSD Image Adjust controls to increase or decrease the H. SIZE.
• Check to make sure that a supported mode has been selected on the displa\
y card or system being used.(Please consult display card or system manual to change graphics mode.)\
No Video • Make certain the computer is not in a power-saving mode (touch the keyb\
oard or mouse).
• Some video cards do not output video signal when monitor is turned OFF/O\
N or disconnect/connect from the ACpower cord under low resolution with DisplayPort.
Brightness difference during multiple monitor usage • Change Auto Brightness to OFF and adjust brightness.
NOTE: When Auto Brightness is set to ON, the monitor automatically adjusts brightne\
ss to the environment.
When condition is difference, monitor brightness will be difference.

Using the Auto Brightness function
The brightness of the LCD screen can be set to increase or decrease depe\
nding 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 comf\
ortable to the eye in a variety of lighting
conditions.
The Auto Brightness function is set to 1 by default.
SETUP
Use the following procedure to select the Brightness Range that the moni\
tor 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 amb\
ient light level is highest. Make sure the room is at its brightest when setting this level.
Select “1” or “3” 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 th\
e 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 setti\
ng. Choose the desired brightness level
(Figure 3 ).
