1.3IPM(Intelligent Power Manager) System

The monitor has a IPM(Intelligent Power Manager) Sys- tem which reduces the power consumption of the monitor when not in use.

When the horizontal sync signal and/or vertical sync signal is off, after about 10 seconds the monitor is switched to a power saving mode which reduces the monitor power consumption to less than 3W. When the monitor is in power saving mode, the screen is off and the power indicator will illuminate at amber.

After the signals are restored, picture will be displayed within about 3 seconds.

Check your computer's manual for setting this function.

1.4DDC

The monitor includes the DDCTM2B feature, more com- monly known as "Plug & Play". DDC(Display Data Chan- nel) is a communication channel over which the monitor automatically informs the computer about its capabililties (e.g. each supported resolution with its corresponding timing).

DDC is routed through previously unused pins of the 15- pin VGA connector.

The system will perform "Plug and Play" feature if both, monitor and computer, implement the DDC protocol. When a Plug and Play computer starts, it identifies the monitor and loads the appropriate driver automatically. If the computer does not have the driver installed, a dialog box will appear asking where the information can be found. The latest drivers may be downloaded from the "Support" section of the NEC-MITSUBISHI Website lo- cated at:

1.5Display Mode Selection ("DISPLAY MODE" P1-10)

The following two display modes are available. You can select either mode suitable to your work, on the OSM

( P1-10).

Text Mode

The contrast is emphasized more than the accuracy of the color appearance in this mode. This mode is suitable for such works that the accuracy of the displayed colors is not so important, e.g. document making, calculation, data- base making, etc.

Graphic Mode

The accuracy of the color tone is emphasized in this mode. This mode is suitable for such works where the accuracy of the displayed colors is important, e.g. photograph processing, making of illustration, etc.

When you receive the monitor, "DISPLAY MODE" is set to "GRAPHIC" mode.

Before selecting "Graphic Mode", perform "AUTO SETUP". If not, the displayed screen may become too bright.

Before using "Color Matching", set the "COLOR" to "NATIVE", "DISPLAY MODE" to "GRAPHIC".

1.6Auto Adjustment Function ("AUTO ADJUST" P1-10)

This function is to adjust "CLOCK PHASE" automatically and periodically (once per 30 min.) against changes of the signal condition or ambient temperature and to adjust "CLOCK PHASE", "HORIZONTAL POSITION" and "VER- TICAL POSITION" automatically when changing the sig- nal timing.

When you receive the monitor, "AUTO ADJUST" is set to "OFF".

When using the monitor with some computers, "AUTO ADJUST" may function negatively. In that case, set "AUTO ADJUST" to "OFF".

When "AUTO ADJUST" is set to "ON", you may feel the screen stopping when using mouse or displaying an animation. However, it is not a fault condition and it is caused by the "AUTO ADJUST" working.

1.7Screen Auto Expand Function ("EXPAND"

P1-10)

This function is to expand the screen automatically. By a smoothing function, you can get a clear screen when the screen is expanded by this function. This function is available in case that a signal of 1024 dots by 768 lines or lower is inputted to the monitor.

With some resolution, even if it meets the condition above, the screen is not expanded fully to the screen area.

With some signal type inputted, the screen is not expanded vertically or horizontally.

With some resolution, the image may be slightly blurred.

1.8Signal Input Connector Auto Selection Func-

tion ("AUTO SELECT" P1-11)

This function is to select the signal input connector which is in the active condition automatically. In case that two computers are connected with the monitor, another com- puter will be selected automatically when the first selected computer went into a power saving mode.

When you receive the monitor, "AUTO SELECT" is set to "ON".

1.9Auto Brightness Function ("AUTO BRIGHTNESS"

P1-10)

This function is to adjust the brightness automatically to the extent of white display area, against dazzle.
