point downward when looking at the middle of the display.
•Adjust the display brightness and/or contrast to a comfortable level for enhanced
text readability and graphics clarity.
•Eliminate glare and reflections by:
•placing your display in such a way that the side faces the window or any light
source
•minimizing room light by using drapes, shades or blinds
•using a task light
•changing the display’s viewing angle
•using a glare-reduction filter
•using a display visor, such as a piece of cardboard extended from the
display’s top front edge
•Avoid adjusting your display to an awkward viewing angle.
•Avoid looking at bright light sources, such as open windows, for extended periods
of time.

Say hello
to a more sustainable product
IT products are associated with a wide range of sustainability risks
throughout their life cycle. Human rights violations are common in the
factories. Harmful substances are used both in products and their
manufacture. Products can often have a short lifespan because of poor
ergonomics, low quality and when they are not able to be repaired or
upgraded.
This product is a better choice. It meets all the criteria in TCO Certified,
the world’s most comprehensive sustainability certification for IT
products. Thank you for making a responsible product choice, that help
drive progress towards a more sustainable future!
Criteria in TCO Certified have a life-cycle perspective and balance
environmental and social responsibility. Conformity is verified by
independent and approved verifiers that specialize in IT products, social
responsibility or other sustainability issues. Verification is done both
before and after the certificate is issued, covering the entire validity
period. The process also includes ensuring that corrective actions are
implemented in all cases of factory non-conformities. And last but not
least, to make sure that the certification and independent verification is
accurate, both TCO Certified and the verifiers are reviewed regularly.

updates at tcocertified.com. On the website you’ll also find our Product
Finder, which presents a complete, searchable listing of certified

Connecting the Power cord
•Check first to make sure that the power cord you use is the correct type required
for your area.
•The monitor has a universal power supply that allows operation in either 100/120
V AC or 220/240 V AC voltage area. No user-adjustment is required.
•Plug one end of the power cord to the AC inlet, and plug the other end into an AC
outlet.
•For units using 120 V AC:
Use a UL-listed cord set, type SVT wire and plug rated 10 A/125 V.
•For units using 220/240 V AC:
Use a cord set consisting of H05VV-F cord and plug rated 10 A/250 V. The cord
set should have the appropriate safety approvals for the country in which the
equipment will be installed.
Power saving
The monitor will be driven into "Power Saving" mode by the control signal from the
display controller, as indicated by the amber-color power LED.
State LED Light
ON Blue
Power Saving Mode Amber
The power saving states will be kept until a control signal has been detected or the
keyboard or mouse is activated. The recovery time from Active OFF state back to ON
state is around 3 seconds.
Display Data Channel (DDC)
To make installation easier, so long as your system supports the DDC protocol, the
monitor is able to plug-and-play. The DDC is a communication protocol through
which the monitor automatically informs the host system about its capabilities; for
example, supported resolutions and corresponding timing. The monitor supports the
DDC2B standard.
