If your PC supplies power saving signals to the display, the display’s power management features reduce power consumption to low levels when your PC goes into its power-saving mode. See “Minimizing Power Consumption” on page 7 for more information. If your PC doesn’t use industry standard power-save signaling techniques, you can reduce power consumption by turning off the display when it won’t be used for an extended period. You can turn the display off even if you leave your PC in running. Note: Because of the technology used in LCD panels, screen savers will not prolong the life of your display. So if the display will not be used for an extended period, be sure to turn it off. Warning To completely disconnect power from your display, you must remove the power cord from the wall outlet and then remove the power cable from the display.
Tilting the Display The monitors have a tilt feature that allows you to tilt the display back and forth as well as left and right to find the most comfortable viewing position. To tilt the display, grasp the sides and push the display back or pull it toward you, or turn it left or right until it is in the desired position. The display can be tilted 20° backward and 5° forward. Note: Do not tilt the display by grasping the top edge. Setting the Video Mode Since the inherent format of this display is 1024 pixels by 768 lines, the display will perform best when your PC is set to a screen resolution of 1024 x 768. If you use a lower resolution (such as 640 x 480), the image is expanded to fill the screen. Your display supports many common video modes, as shown in “Video Modes” on page 24. Check the documentation supplied with your PC and video adapter card to find out which modes they support. To see what the video mode in your Microsoft Windows, please check Windows’ settings in your PC. Setting the Refresh Rate The image refresh rate is the number of times per second that the image is refreshed; it is also known as the vertical frequency. On standard CRT displays, we recommend that you should use the highest possible refresh rate supported by your PC at the current screen resolution. This is necessary to avoid screen flickering and to minimize eyestrain. However, with your LCD Monitor, flicker is not an issue. It is flick-free at all supported refresh rates. The table in “Video Mode” on page 24 shows the image refresh rates supported by the display at different screen resolution. Although your LCD monitor supports up to 75 Hz for analog video input, we recommend that you use 60 Hz refresh rate for best performance. To set the refresh rate with a standard Windows installation, follow the steps mentioned in your Windows’s or graphic card’s user’s manual. Minimizing Power Consumption Many PCs support industry standard power-save signaling techniques. Power management features reduce the display’s power consumption after a period of keyboard inactivity. When the display is in a power-saving mode, the screen is blank and the power indicator is amber. Pressing a key on the keyboard or moving the mouse restores the image in several seconds. Consult your PC documentation for information about setting the power-saving modes. The display accepts the signals for the three standard power-saving modes – Standby, Suspend, and Sleep. For any of these conditions, the display will go into Sleep mode.
Warning Don’t use liquid, aerosol, or abrasive cleaning solutions toclean the screen. Caring for and Cleaning the Display To maximize screen life and prevent damage to the LCD panel, we recommend that you: Ö Use the display power management system (if available on your PC). Ö If you don’t use a power management system, turn off the display when you won’t be using it for an extended period. Ö Don’t press, rub, or poke the display with your finger or other object. Ö Handle your display with care. Your LCD module is a high-quality optical device that requires special care when cleaning. To clean the screen: 1. Shut down the PC. 2. Turn off and unplug the display. 3. Gently dust the screen with a dry, soft, line-free cloth. Note: If the screen is still dirty, you can dampen the cloth with several drops of distilled water. Make sure the LCD panel is completely dry before you turn the display back on. 4. Plug in the display. 5. Turn on your PC and display.
