[. . . ] Check the documentation supplied with your PC and video adapter card to find out which modes they support. To see what the video mode in your Microsoft Windows, please check Windows' settings in your PC. Setting the Refresh Rate The image refresh rate is the number of times per second that the image is refreshed; it is also known as the vertical frequency. On standard CRT displays, we recommend that you should use the highest possible refresh rate supported by your PC at the current screen resolution. This is necessary to avoid screen flickering and to minimize eyestrain. However, with your LCD Monitor, flicker is not an issue. It is flick-free at all supported refresh rates. 19 The table in "Video Mode" on page 31shows the image refresh rates supported by the display at different screen resolution. Although your LCD monitor supports up to 75 Hz for analog video input, we recommend that you use 60 Hz refresh rate for best performance. To set the refresh rate with a standard Windows installation, follow the steps mentioned in your Windows's or graphic card's user's manual. ENGLISH Minimizing Power Consumption Many PCs support industry standard power-save signaling techniques. Power management features reduce the display's power consumption after a period of keyboard inactivity. When the display is in a power-saving mode, the screen is blank and the power indicator is amber. Pressing a key on the keyboard or moving the mouse restores the image in several seconds. Consult your PC documentation for information about setting the power-saving modes. The display accepts the signals for the three standard power-saving modes ­ Standby, Suspend, and Sleep. For any of these conditions, the display will go into Sleep mode. Caring for and Cleaning the Display To maximize screen life and prevent damage to the LCD panel, we recommend that you: Use the display power management system (if available on your PC). If you don't use a power management system, turn off the display when you won't be using it for an extended period. Don't press, rub, or poke the display with your finger or other object. Your LCD module is a high-quality optical device that requires special care when cleaning. Warning Don't use liquid, aerosol, or abrasive cleaning solutions to clean the screen. Gently dust the screen with a dry, soft, line-free cloth. Note: If the screen is still dirty, you can dampen the cloth with several drops of distilled water. Make sure the LCD panel is completely dry before you turn the display back on. Turn on your PC and display. 20 Adjusting Your Display ENGLISH This chapter contains information about how to changing display settings for your LCD Monitor. [. . . ] Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride, and those flame retardants are chemically related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating 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. [. . . ]
