1.1Features

This monitor is a 55cm/22" (508mm/20" Viewable Image Size) intelligent, microprocessor-based monitor compat- ible with most analog RGB (Red, Green, Blue) display standards.

It provides crisp text and vivid color graphics with PC platforms.

•The monitor’s wide auto-scanning compatibility range makes it possible to upgrade video cards or software without purchasing a new monitor.

•Digitally controlled auto-scanning is done using an inter- nal microprocessor, for horizontal scan frequencies between 30kHz and 130kHz, and vertical scan frequen- cies between 50Hz and 160Hz. The microprocessor- based intelligence allows the monitor to operate in each frequency mode with the precision of a fixed frequency monitor.

•The monitor contains resident memory for pre-pro- grammed screen display standards and is also capable of storing additional user adjustment parameters.
