Introduction
This digital controlled AutoScan colour monitor displays sharp and
brilliant images of text and graphics with a maximum resolution up to
1280x1024 pixels. It is optimal for CAD/CAM/CAE, DTP, and any
other application demanding a display with large screen-size and high
resolution.
This monitor automatically scans horizontal frequencies between 30
KHz and 82 KHz, and vertical frequencies between 50 Hz and 120 Hz.
With microprocessed based digital controlled multiple frequencies this
colour monitor can operate at each mode with the precision of a fixed
frequency monitor.
This Autoscan color monitor complies with Swedish MPRII's low
emissions requirement.
