TCO’99

Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCOÕ99 approved and labelled product! Your choice has provided you with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the burden on the environment and also to the further development of environmentally adapted electronics products.

Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?

In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method for encourag- ing the adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The main problem, as far as computers and other electronics equipment are concerned, is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products and during the manufacturing. Since it has not been possible for the majority of electronics equipment to be recycled in a satisfactory way, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter Nature.

There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are important from the viewpoints of both the work (Internal) and natural (external) environments. Since all methods of conventional electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste, etc.), it is vital to conserve energy. Electronics equipment in offices consume an enormous amount of energy since they are often left running continuously.

What does labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCOÕ99 scheme which provides for international and environmental labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration).

The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of electrical and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.

The environmental demands concern restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, among other things. The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental plan which must be adhered to in each country where the company implements its operational policy. The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or display, 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 computer shall be reasonable for the user.

Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the reduction of electric and magnetic fields, physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.

Environmental Requirements

Flame retardants

Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. In turn, they delay the spread of fire. Up to thirty percent of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride and these are related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs, which are suspected to give rise to severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fish eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-

It utilizes Mitsubishi’s proprietary LCD technology, which enhances brightness and contrast, delivering images that are both clear and eye-catching. The monitor also features an expansive viewing angle, ensuring that images are visible from multiple perspectives without color distortion. This makes it suitable for use in environments where multiple viewers need to see the display simultaneously.

The V91LCD, on the other hand, is equipped with a larger 9-inch screen that further amplifies these impressive features. It supports higher resolutions, allowing for even more detailed visuals. This model integrates advanced signal processing technology, which enhances the clarity of moving images, making it an excellent choice for dynamic applications such as video conferencing and digital signage. Additionally, the V91LCD is designed for durability, incorporating robust housing and components that withstand continuous operation in demanding environments.

The V51LCD presents a more compact option with a 5-inch display, making it suitable for applications with limited space. Despite its smaller size, the V51LCD does not compromise on quality. It features Mitsubishi’s innovative backlight technology that not only increases brightness but also prolongs the lifespan of the monitor. This model is ideal for embedded applications, such as control panels and instrumentation, where reliability and clarity are paramount.

All three models in the V series are designed with user-friendly interfaces and a variety of connectivity options, including HDMI, VGA, and composite inputs, ensuring compatibility with numerous devices. They also incorporate energy-efficient technologies to minimize power consumption, aligning with global sustainability efforts.

In summary, the Mitsubishi Electronics V71LCD, V91LCD, and V51LCD stand out with their remarkable image quality, advanced technologies, and robust designs. Whether for professional use or industrial applications, these monitors provide versatility and reliability, making them a vital part of Mitsubishi’s impressive lineup of display solutions.
