TCO’99 –continued

health effects, including reproductive damage in fisheating birds and mammals, due to the bio- accumulative* processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in foetus development may occur.

TCO’99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain flame retardants with organically bound chlorine and bromine. Flame retardants are allowed in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.

Lead**

Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning.

TCO’99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.

Cadmium**

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colourgenerating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.

TCO’99 requirement states that batteries, the colourgenerating layers of display screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium.

Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches, Mercury damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.

TCO’99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any Mercury. It also demands that no mercury is present in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the display unit.

CFCs (freons)

CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on Earth of ultraviolet light with consequent increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma).

The relevant TCO’99 requirement; Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacturing and assembly of the product or its packaging.

*Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms. **Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.

NEC LCD1860NX, L182R4 manual TCO’99

LCD1860NX, L182R4 specifications

The NEC L182R4 and the LCD1860NX are remarkable displays known for their reliability and performance. Both models embody NEC's commitment to quality and innovation in visual technology.

The NEC L182R4 is a flat-panel LCD monitor that features an 18.1-inch screen, making it an ideal choice for both professional and personal use. One of the standout characteristics of this model is its high-resolution capability, providing a clear viewing experience with sharp images and vibrant colors. The display boasts a maximum resolution of 1280x1024 and features an aspect ratio of 5:4, which is particularly useful for applications that require a more square display setup.

Technologically, the L182R4 employs advanced LCD technology that ensures consistent brightness and color accuracy across the screen. With a brightness level of 250 cd/m², it allows for comfortable viewing in various lighting environments. It also features a fast response time, which reduces motion blur when displaying fast-moving images. Furthermore, the monitor offers multiple connectivity options including VGA and DVI inputs, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices.

On the other hand, the NEC LCD1860NX expands the capabilities of business and professional environments. This model also features an 18.1-inch screen but takes performance a step further with its support for higher color depth and enhanced viewing angles. With a resolution of 1280x1024 and an aspect ratio of 5:4, it caters well to both office applications and graphic design tasks.

A highlight of the LCD1860NX is its advanced multi-bit panel technology, which enhances the display’s ability to reproduce a wide color gamut, providing richer and more accurate color representation. This is particularly beneficial in professional settings where color precision is critical, such as in graphic design and video editing.

Moreover, the LCD1860NX is designed with user ergonomics in mind. It features an adjustable stand and is VESA mount compatible, allowing for customizable setups that can help reduce strain on the neck and eyes during extended use.

Both the NEC L182R4 and LCD1860NX reflect NEC’s engineering prowess in delivering reliable and high-quality display solutions suitable for diverse applications. Their combination of robust features, innovative technologies, and user-friendly designs makes them excellent choices for users who demand performance and longevity in their display systems.
