Controls –continued

Size and Position Controls

Auto Adjust: Automatically adjust the horizontal and vertical size and position settings for the applicable timing signal.

NOTE: Auto Adjust is unavailable with no image signal or narrow size of image signal input.

Left/Right: Moves the image horizontally (left or right).

Down/Up: Moves the image vertically (up or down).

Narrow/Wide: Decreases or increases the horizontal size of the image.

Short/Tall: Decreases or increases the vertical size of the image.

Color Control/AccuColor® Control System

Color presets 1 through 5 selects the desired color setting. The bar is replaced by the color setting choice from 1, 2, 3, sRGB, 5. Each color setting is adjusted at the factory to the stated Kelvin degrees. If a setting is adjusted, the name of the setting will change from Kelvin to Custom. NOTE: sRGB does not allow you to adjust each color.

Red, Green, Blue: NEC’s AccuColor Control System decreases or increases the monitor’s red, green or blue color guns depending upon which is selected. The change in color will appear on screen and the direction (decrease or increase) will be shown by the bars.

NOTE: sRGB does not allow you to control the AccuColor, Brightness and Contrast.

Geometry Controls

Geometry Controls Menu

The Geometry controls allow you to adjust the curvature or angle of the sides of your display. In/Out (pincushion): Decreases or increases the curvature of the sides either inward or outward.

Left/Right (pincushion balance): Decreases or increases the curvature of the sides either to the left or right.

Tilt (parallelogram): Decreases or increases the tilt of the sides either to the left or right.

Align (trapezoidal): Decreases or increases the bottom of the screen to be the same as the top.

Rotate (raster rotation): Rotates the entire display clockwise or counterclockwise.

Corner Correction: Allows you to adjust the geometry of the corners of your display — Top, Top Balance, Bottom or Bottom Balance.

Tools 1

Moiré Canceler: Moiré is a wavy pattern which can sometimes appear on the screen. The pattern is repetitive and superimposed as rippled images. When running certain applications, the wavy pattern is more evident than in others. To reduce moiré, adjust the level by using the

–/+ CONTROL buttons.

Convergence: Aligns all three colors (R,G,B) to form a single color (white). The purpose of this control is to ensure that a white line drawn on the screen is as crisp and clear as possible.

Use the CONVERGENCE (HOR.) control to adjust the alignment of the white lines in the left/right direction.

Use the CONVERGENCE (VER.) control to adjust the alignment of the white lines in the up/down direction.

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.
