Dot Pitch
The image on a monitor is composed of red, green and blue dots. The clos\
er the dots, the 
higher the resolution. The distance between two dots of the same color i\
s called the Dot Pitch. 
Unit: mm
Vertical Frequency
The screen must be redrawn several times per second in order to create a\
nd display an image 
for the user. The frequency of this repetition per second is called Vert\
ical Frequency or Refresh 
Rate. Unit: Hz
Example: If the same light repeats itself 60 times per second, this is regarded a\
s 60 Hz. In this 
case, flickering of the screen can be detected. To avoid this problem, t\
here is a 
Flicker-free Mode using a vertical frequency over 70 Hz.
Horizontal Frequency
The time to scan one line connecting the right edge to the left edge of \
the screen horizontally is 
called Horizontal Cycle. The inverse number of the Horizontal Cycle is c\
alled Horizontal 
Frequency. Unit: kHz
Interlace and Non-Interlace Methods
Showing the horizontal lines of the screen from the top to the bottom in\
 order is called the Non-
Interlace method while showing odd lines and then ev en lines in turn is called the Interlace 
method. The Non-Interlace method is used for the majority of monitors to\
 ensure a clear image. 
The Interlace method is the same as that used in TVs.
Plug & Play 
This is a function that provides the best quality screen for the user by\
 allowing the computer and 
the monitor to exchange information automatically. This monitor follows \
the international 
standard VESA DDC for the Plug & Play function.
Resolution
The number of horizontal and vertical dots used to compose the screen im\
age is called 
resolution. This number shows the accuracy of the display. High resolu\
tion is good for 
performing multiple tasks as more image information can be shown on the \
screen.
Example: If the resolution is 1280 X 1280, this means the screen is composed of 1\
280 
horizontal dots (horizontal resolution) and 1280 vertical lines (vert\
ical resolution).

AB general requirements  
AB2 Written Eco-document acompanying the products  
Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO95 approved and labelled \
product! Your choice 
has provided you with a product developed for professional use. Your pur\
chase has also 
contributed to reducing the burden on the environment and to the further\
 development of 
environmentally-adapted electronic products. 
Why do we have environmentally-labelled monitors?  
In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established met\
hod for encouraging 
the adaptation of goods and services to the environment.The main problem\
 as far as monitors and 
other electronic equipment are concerned is that environmentally harmful\
 substances are used 
 
						

							both in the products and during their manufacture. Since it has not been\
 possible so far for the 
majority of electronic equipment to be recycled in a satisfactory way, m\
ost of these potentially 
damaging substances sooner or later enter Nature. 
 
There are also other characteristics of a monitor, such as energy consum\
ption levels, that are 
important from both the working and natural environment viewpoints. Sinc\
e all types of 
conventional electricity generation have a negative effect on the enviro\
nment (acidic and climate-
influencing emissions, radioactive waste, etc.) it is vital to conserve\
 energy. Electronic equipment 
in offices consumes an enormous amount of energy, since it is often rout\
inely left running 
continuously. 
What does labelling involve? 
This product meets the requirements for the TCO95 scheme, which provide\
s for international 
environmental labelling of monitors. The labelling scheme was developed \
as a joint effort by the 
TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Naturskydds\
foreningen (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 fi\
re safety.  
 
The environmental demands concern among other things restrictions on the\
 presence and use of 
heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons\
), and chlorinated 
solvents. The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacture\
r is obliged to have an 
environmental plan, which must be adhered to in each country where the c\
ompany conducts its 
operations policy. The energy requirements include a demand that the mon\
itor 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 monitor shall be reasonable for the use\
r. 
 
Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example in\
 respect of the 
reduction of electric and magnetic fields, along with physical and visua\
l ergonomics and good 
usability.

Environmental Requirements  
Brominated flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cable\
s, wires, casings and 
housings. In turn, they delay the spread of fire. Up to thirty percent o\
f the plastic in a computer 
casing can consist of flame retardant substances. These are related to a\
nother group of 
environmental toxins, PCBs, which are suspected to give rise to similar \
harm, including 
reproductive damage in fish eating birds and mammals, due to the bioaccu\
mulative processes. 
Flame retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear tha\
t disturbances in 
foetus development may occur. 
zTCO95 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 gra\
ms must not 
contain organically bound chlorine and bromine. 
Lead  
Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacit\
ors. Lead damages the 
nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning.  
zTCO95 requirement Permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement ha\
s yet been 
developed. 
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 hi\
gh doses. 
zTCO95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 pp\
m (parts per million) 
of cadmium. The colour-generating layers of display screens must not con\
tain any cadmium. 
Mercury  
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. Mercury da\
mages the nervous 
system and is toxic in high doses. 
 
						

							zTCO95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 pp\
m (parts per million) 
of mercury. It also demands that no mercury is present in any of the ele\
ctrical or electronics 
components concerned with the display unit. 
CFCs (freons)  
CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards an\
d in the manufacturing of 
expanded foam for packaging. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage th\
e ozone layer in 
the stratosphere, causing increased reception on Earth of ultraviolet li\
ght with consequent 
increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma).  
zThe relevant TCO95 requirement: Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used duri\
ng the 
manufacturing of the product or its packaging.

Congratulations!  
You have just purchased a TCO99 approved and labelled product! Your cho\
ice has provided you 
with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also co\
ntributed to reducing the 
burden on the environment and also to the further development of environ\
mentally adapted 
electronics products. 
 
This product meets the requirements for the TCO99 scheme which provides\
 for an international 
environmental and quality labelling labelling of personal computers. The\
 labelling scheme was 
developed as a joint effort by the TCO(The Swedish Confederation of Pro\
fessional Employees), 
Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen(The Swedish Society for Nature Conservati\
on), Statens 
Energimyndighet(The Swedish National Energy Administration) and SEMKO \
AB. 
 
The requirements cover a wide range of issuse: environment, ergonomics, \
usability, reduction of 
electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical safety. \
Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?  
In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established met\
hod for encouraging 
the adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The main proble\
m, as far as computers 
and other electronics equipment are concerned, is that environmentally h\
armful 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 th\
ese potentially damaging 
substances sooner or later enter nature. 
 
There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consu\
mption 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 th\
e environment (e.g. acidic 
and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to s\
ave energy. Electronics 
equipment in offices is often left running continuously and thereby cons\
umes a lot of energy. 
What does labelling involve?  
The environmental demands has been developed by Svenska Naturskyddsforen\
ingen (The 
Swedish Society for Nature Conservation). These demands impose restrict\
ions on the presence 
and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CF\
Cs(freons)and 
chlorinated solvents, among other things. The product must be prepared f\
or recycling and the 
manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental policy which must be ad\
hered to in each 
country where the company implements its operational policy. 
 
The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or displa\
y, after a certain 
period of inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower leve\
l in one or more stages. The 
length of time to reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the us\
er.

Environmental requirements  
Flame retardants  
Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, c\
asings 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 g\
roup of environmental 
toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chloride a\
nd the PCBs are 
suspected of giving rise to severe health effects, including reproductiv\
e damage in fish-eating 
birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative* pr ocesses. Flame retardants have been found 
in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in foetus developm\
ent may occur. 
 
The relevant TCO99 demand requires that plastic components weighing mor\
e than 25 grams 
must not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlo\
rine. Flame retardants 
are allowed in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are avail\
able.  
 
Cadmium**  
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generatin\
g layers of certain 
computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in hi\
gh doses. The 
relevant TCO99 requirement states that batteries, the colour-generating\
 layers of display screens 
and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmiu\
m. 
 
Mercury**  
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages\
 the nervous system and 
is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO99 requirement states that batt\
eries may not contain any 
mercury. It also demands that mercury is not present in any of the elect\
rical or electronics 
components associated with the labelled unit. There is however one excep\
tion. Mercury is, for the 
time being, permitted in the back light system of flat panel monitors as\
 today there is no 
commercially available alternative. TCO aims on removing this exception \
when a Mercury free 
alternative is available. 
 
CFCs (freons)  
The relevant TCO99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may b\
e used during the 
manufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are sometimes u\
sed 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. incr\
eased risks of skin cancer 
(malignant melanoma) as a consequence. 
 
Lead**  
Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacit\
ors. Lead damages the 
nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. The relevant \
TCO99 requirement 
permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been develope\
d.
