A-NTAA SW The Advanced No Touch Auto Adjust function is able to recognize new sign\
als 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 s\
ame) 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 signa\
l.
OPTION: Functions the same as ON, except that the screen does not go bla\
nk 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 m\
ore PCs to the

Safety Precautions and MaintenanceFOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE, PLEASE NOTETHE 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 cover\
s may expose 
you to dangerous shock hazards or other risks. Refer all servicing to qu\
ali ed 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 to\
uch dangerous voltage points, which can be harmful or  
fatal or may cause electric shock,  re or equipment failure.
 Do not place any heavy objects on the power cord. Damage to the cord may\
 cause shock or  re.
 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 1mm
2 should 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 out\
doors.

The lamps in this product contain mercury. Please dispose according to s\
tate, 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 wil\
l be exposed to continual vibration.
 If monitor or glass is broken, do not come in contact with the liquid cr\
ystal 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 
quali ed service personnel under the following conditions. If the monitor is u\
sed in this condition, the monitor may cause fal l,  re 
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 instruct\
ions. •   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 f\
rom 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.
 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 previou\
s 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 monito\
r should be turned off for one hour to erase the image.
NOTE:  As with all personal display devices, NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS recommends u\
sing a moving screen saver at regular 
intervals whenever the screen is idle or turning off the monitor when no\
t in use.
CAUTION

CORRECT PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR CANREDUCE 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 slightl\
y below eye level.  Your eyes should look slightly downward when viewing the middle of the s\
creen.
 Position your monitor no closer than 40 cm (15.75 inches) and no furth\
er away than  70 cm (27.56 inches) from your eyes. The optimal distance is 50 cm (1\
9.69 inches).
 Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at least 20 feet aw\
ay. Blink often.
 Position the monitor at a 90° angle to windows and other light source\
s to minimize glare  and re ections. Adjust the monitor tilt so that ceiling lights do not re ect on your screen.
 If re ected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use an anti-glare \
 lter.
 Clean the LCD monitor surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Avoi\
d using any  cleaning solution or glass cleaner!
 Adjust the monitor’s brightness and contrast controls to enhance read\
ability.
 Use a document holder placed close to the screen.
 Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen or re\
ference material) directly in front of you to minimize  
turning your head while you are typing.
 Avoid displaying  xed patterns on the monitor for long periods of time to avoid image pers\
istence (after-image effects).
 Get regular eye checkups.
Ergonomics
To realize the maximum ergonomics bene ts, 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 dif cult to see and may produce eye fatigue due to insuf cient  
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 discolora\
tion 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 wate\
r, 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 pow\
der, or insecticide. Do not touch rubber or 
vinyl to the cabinet for a long time. These types of  uids and fabrics can cause the paint to deteriorate, crack or peel.

*1 Interpolated Resolutions: When resolutions are shown that are lower t\
han the pixel count of the LCD module, text may appear 
different. This is normal and 
necessary for all current  at panel technologies when displaying non-native resolutions full screen\
. In  at panel technologie s, each dot on the screen is actually one

*1 Interpolated Resolutions: When resolutions are shown that are lower t\
han the pixel count of the LCD module, text may appear 
different. This is normal and 
necessary for all current  at panel technologies when displaying non-native resolutions full screen\
. In  at panel technologie s, 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
DisplayPort: DisplayPort is designed to be the future-ready, scalable solution for hi\
gh performance digital display connectivity. It 
enables the highest resolutions, the fastest refresh rates and deepest c\
olor depths over standard cables.
DFP (Digital Flat Panel):  An all-digital interface for  at panel monitors which is signal compatible with DVI. As a DVI-based di\
gital 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  at 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 i s a 
subset of P&D. As a DVI-based connector (for the digital input pins), \
only a simple adapter is necessary for compatibility betw een 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  ts their application, either Landscape orientation for 
wide documents, or Portrait orientation for the ability to preview a ful\
l page on one screen at one time. The Portrait orientat ion is also 
perfect for full screen video conferencing.
Reduced Footprint:  Provides the ideal solution for environments requiring superior image qu\
ality 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 a\
ccuracy of your monitor to a variety 
of standards.
Natural Color Matrix:  Combines Six-axis color control and the sRGB standard. Six-axis color c\
ontrol 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 pro le. This assures that the colors displayed on the monitor are exactly th\
e same as on the colo r 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 th\
e health of the user and save 
money. Examples include OSD controls for quick and easy image adjustment\
s, tilt base for preferred angle of vision, small footp rint 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 mon\
itor 
to send its capabilities (such as screen size and resolutions supported\
) directly to your computer, automatically optimizing di splay 
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 moni\
tor energy costs, reducing emissions and lowering the a ir 
conditioning costs of the workplace.
Multiple Frequency Technology:  Automatically adjusts monitor to the display card’s scanning frequenc\
y, thus displaying the resolution 
required.
FullScan Capability:  Allows you to use the entire screen area in most resolutions, signi cantly 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 thi\
rd party mounting arm 
or bracket. Allows for the monitor to be mounted on a wall or an arm usi\
ng any third party compliant device.
Visual Controller:  Is a ground-breaking software family, developed by NEC Display Solution\
s, providing intuitive access to all monitor 
setting controls and remote diagnosis via the Windows interface, based u\
pon the VESA standard, DDC/CI. Using a standard VGA or 
DVI signal cable, Visual Controller can either bene t single users or, with Visual Controller Administrator, can reduce the \
To tal Cost of 
Ownership through remote network-wide maintenance, diagnosis and asset-r\
eporting.
No-touch Auto Adjust*
1 (Analog input only):  No-touch auto adjust automatically adjusts the monitor to optimal setti\
ngs upon initial 
setup.
sRGB Color Control:  A new optimized color management standard which allows for color matchin\
g on computer displays and other 
peripherals. The sRGB, which is based on the calibrated color space, all\
ows for optimal color representation and backward compa tibility 
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  exibility to your viewing preferences.
Quick Release stand:  Allows fast removal.
Auto dimming technology:  Automatically adjusts the backlight level depending on the level of amb\
ient lighting.
USB 2.0 hub adds excitement to your computing by connecting you to digital cameras, \
scanners and more.
