NEC LCD1800TM manual Introduction

1 INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the MultiSync LCD1800™ high resolution color LCD monitor.

This guide tells you how to connect, adjust and care for your MultiSync LCD1800 monitor. This guide also pro- vides technical specifications and instructions for trouble- shooting any basic problems you may experience with your monitor.

1.1Features

The MultiSync LCD1800 is a 46cm/18.1", intelligent, microprocessor-based LCD monitor compatible with most analog RGB (Red, Green, Blue) display standards.

The monitor provides crisp text and vivid color graphics with both PC and Macintosh platforms.

Dual Inputs

Offers dual inputs, allowing you to connect the monitor to two systems. You can easily switch between com- puters with a touch of a button on the front control panel.

Reduced Footprint

Provides the ideal solution for environments requiring superior image quality but with size and weight limita- tions. The monitor’s small footprint and low weight allow it to be moved or transported easily from one location to another.

AccuColor® Control System

Allows you to adjust the colors on your screen and customize the color accuracy of your monitor to a variety of standards.

OSM™ (On-Screen Manager) Controls

Allow you to quickly and easily adjust all elements of your screen image via simple to use on-screen menus.

ErgoDesign® Features

Enhance human ergonomics to improve the working environment, protect the health of the user and save money. Examples include OSM controls for quick and easy image adjustments, tilt/swivel base for preferred angle of vision, small footprint and compliance with MPRII guidelines for lower emissions.

Plug and Play

The Microsoft® solution with the Windows® operating system facilitates setup and installation by allowing the monitor to send its capabilities (such as screen size and resolutions supported) directly to your com- puter, automatically optimizing display performance.

IPM™ (Intelligent Power Manager) System Provides innovative power-saving methods that allow the monitor to shift to a lower power consumption level when on but not in use, saving two-thirds of your monitor energy costs, reducing emissions and lower- ing the air conditioning costs of the workplace.

Multiple Frequency Technology

Automatically adjusts monitor to the display card’s scanning frequency, thus displaying the resolution required.

FullScan™ Capability

Allows you to use the entire screen area in most resolutions, significantly expanding image size.

VESA Standard Mounting Interface

Allows users to connect their MultiSync monitor to any VESA standard third party mounting arm or bracket. Allows for the monitor to be mounted on a wall or an arm using any third party compliant device.

XtraView®

Allows the user to be able to see the monitor from any angle (160 degrees). Provides full 160° viewing angles either up, down, left or right.

1.2Internal Preset Memory Capability

To minimize adjustment needs, the factory has preset popular display standards into the monitor, as shown in Table 1. If any of these display standards are detected, the picture size and centering are automatically adjusted. All of the factory presets may be overwritten by adjusting the user controls. The monitor is capable of automatically storing up to 7 additional display standards. The new display information must differ from any of the existing display standards by at least 1kHz for the horizontal scan frequency or 1Hz for the vertical scan frequency or the sync signal polarities must be different.
