CORRECT PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR

CAN REDUCE EYE, SHOULDER AND NECK FATIGUE. CHECK THE

FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION THE MONITOR:

•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 12 inches and no further away than 28 inches from your eyes. The optimal distance is 24 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 antiglare filter.

•Clean your monitor

A special coating is provided on the glass (CRT) surface of this monitor to reduce a reflection and static electricity on the glass surface.

Due to the delicate coating on the glass surface, use a lint-free, nonabrasive cloth (cotton or equivalent) and a non-alcohol, neutral, nonabrasive cleaning solution to minimize dust. If the screen requires more than a light cleaning, apply water or soften neutral detergent with much water directly to a soft cloth and use it upon wringing water, to clean the glass surface.

CAUTION: The following agents will cause damage to the CRT when cleaning

the glass surface: Benzene, thinner, acid/alkaline detergent, alcohol deter- gent, detergent with abrasive powder, detergent with antistatic agent, deter- gent for cleaning.

•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.

•Get regular eye checkups.

Ergonomics

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

•Adjust the Brightness until the background raster disappears

•Do not position the Contrast control to its maximum setting

•Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals

FP2141SB specifications

The NEC FP2141SB is a notable CRT (cathode ray tube) monitor that was designed to cater to both professional and personal computing needs during its era. This monitor exhibited remarkable features and advanced technologies that set it apart from many of its contemporaries.

One of the key highlights of the NEC FP2141SB is its impressive display size of 21 inches, which provided users with ample screen real estate for various applications, from graphics design to data analysis. The monitor also boasted a maximum resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels, allowing for crisp and clear images. This high resolution was particularly beneficial for professionals who required precise visual detail for tasks such as CAD (computer-aided design) and image editing.

The FP2141SB utilized a Flat Square Tube (FST) design, which minimized distortion and provided a more uniform screen surface. This technology ensured that images retained their sharpness and clarity across the entire monitor, reducing glare and enhancing viewing comfort. The monitor further incorporated a high refresh rate of 85 Hz, which reduced flicker and eye strain, making it suitable for extended use.

In terms of color performance, the NEC FP2141SB featured a 24-bit color depth that offered a wide color gamut, rendering vivid and accurate colors. This was particularly advantageous for tasks requiring precise color representation, such as graphic design and photo editing.

The monitor’s ergonomic design included adjustable tilt and swivel options, allowing users to customize their viewing angles for optimal comfort. The FP2141SB also provided multiple input options, ensuring compatibility with various computer systems.

NEC’s commitment to environmental sustainability was evident in the FP2141SB as well, with features that focused on reduced power consumption and compliance with energy efficiency standards.

Overall, the NEC FP2141SB represented a well-rounded solution for users seeking a high-performance monitor. Its blend of advanced technologies, exceptional color accuracy, and ergonomic features made it a popular choice for professionals and avid users alike. Although CRT technology has since been surpassed by LCD and LED displays, the FP2141SB remains a significant example of the innovation present in early computer displays.
