supports the signals described on page E-47.
To connect a PC, Macintosh or compatible graphics adapter,
simply:
1. Turn off the power to your plasma monitor and computer.
2. If your PC does not support XGA/SVGA/VGA you will
need to install an XGA/SVGA/VGA graphics board.
Consult your computer’s owner’s manual for your XGA/
SVGA/VGA configuration. If you need to install a new
board, see the manual that comes with your new graphics
board for installation instructions.
3. The plasma monitor provides signal compatibility up to
VESA 1600
1200 (UXGA). However, it is not
recommended to use this resolution due to image
readability on the monitors 1365
768 native pixel
resolution panel.
4. Use the signal cable that’s supplied to connect your PC or
Macintosh computer to the plasma monitor. For Macintosh,
use the monitor adapter to connect to your computer’s
video port.
5. Turn on the plasma monitor and the computer.
6. If the plasma monitor goes blank after a period of inactivity,
it may be caused by a screen saver installed on the computer
you’ve connected to the plasma monitor.
When using a Macintosh with the plasma monitor, the
following four display standards are supported using the
Macintosh adapter :
13 fixed mode
16 fixed mode
19 fixed mode
21 fixed mode
The 19 fixed mode is recommended for the plasma monitor.
Connections with Equipment that
has a Digital Interface
Connections can be made with equipment that is equipped
with a digital interface compliant with the DVI (Digital
Visual Interface) standard.
* Use a DVI 29-pin signal cable and the ferrite cores
(supplied) when making connections to the RGB3 IN (DVI)
connector of the main unit.
Note that the RGB3 IN(DVI) terminal does not support
analog RGB input source.
Note:
1. Input TMDS signals conforming to DVI standards.
The TMDS input corresponds to 1 link.
2. To maintain display quality, use a cable with a quality
prescribed by DVI standards that is within 5 meters in length.
