Ergonomics

Recommended Use –continued

CORRECT PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR CAN REDUCE EYE, SHOULDER AND NECK FATIGUE. CHECK THE FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION THE MONITOR:

•For optimum performance, allow 20 minutes for warm-up.

•Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the

screen is at or slightly below eye level. Your eyes should look slightly downward when viewing the middle of the screen.

•Position your monitor no closer than 16 inches and no further away than 28 inches from your

eyes. The optimal distance is 21 inches.

•Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at least 20 feet away. Blink often.

•Position the monitor at a 90° angle to windows and other light sources to minimize glare and reflections. Adjust the monitor tilt so that ceiling lights do not reflect on your screen.

•If reflected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use an anti-glare filter.

•Clean the LCD monitor surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using any cleaning solution or glass cleaner!

•Adjust the monitor’s brightness and contrast controls to enhance readability.

•Use a document holder placed close to the screen.

•Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen or reference material) directly in front of you to minimize turning your head while you are typing.

•Avoid displaying fixed patterns on the monitor for long periods of time to avoid image persistence (after-image effects).

•Get regular eye checkups.

To realize the maximum ergonomics benefits, we recommend the following:

•Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals

•Use the preset Color Setting

•Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate between 60-75Hz

•Do not use primary color blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see and may produce eye fatigue to insufficient contrast

LCD1860NX, L182R4 specifications

The NEC L182R4 and the LCD1860NX are remarkable displays known for their reliability and performance. Both models embody NEC's commitment to quality and innovation in visual technology.

The NEC L182R4 is a flat-panel LCD monitor that features an 18.1-inch screen, making it an ideal choice for both professional and personal use. One of the standout characteristics of this model is its high-resolution capability, providing a clear viewing experience with sharp images and vibrant colors. The display boasts a maximum resolution of 1280x1024 and features an aspect ratio of 5:4, which is particularly useful for applications that require a more square display setup.

Technologically, the L182R4 employs advanced LCD technology that ensures consistent brightness and color accuracy across the screen. With a brightness level of 250 cd/m², it allows for comfortable viewing in various lighting environments. It also features a fast response time, which reduces motion blur when displaying fast-moving images. Furthermore, the monitor offers multiple connectivity options including VGA and DVI inputs, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices.

On the other hand, the NEC LCD1860NX expands the capabilities of business and professional environments. This model also features an 18.1-inch screen but takes performance a step further with its support for higher color depth and enhanced viewing angles. With a resolution of 1280x1024 and an aspect ratio of 5:4, it caters well to both office applications and graphic design tasks.

A highlight of the LCD1860NX is its advanced multi-bit panel technology, which enhances the display’s ability to reproduce a wide color gamut, providing richer and more accurate color representation. This is particularly beneficial in professional settings where color precision is critical, such as in graphic design and video editing.

Moreover, the LCD1860NX is designed with user ergonomics in mind. It features an adjustable stand and is VESA mount compatible, allowing for customizable setups that can help reduce strain on the neck and eyes during extended use.

Both the NEC L182R4 and LCD1860NX reflect NEC’s engineering prowess in delivering reliable and high-quality display solutions suitable for diverse applications. Their combination of robust features, innovative technologies, and user-friendly designs makes them excellent choices for users who demand performance and longevity in their display systems.
