This operating manual contains important information you require to start up and run your LCD monitor.
This specification defines the requirements for the 24” MICROPROCESSOR based Multi-mode supported high
resolution color LCD monitor. This monitor can be directly connected to general 15-pin D-sub VGA connector, 24-pin
DVI connector and 19-pin HDMI connector, also supports VESA DPMS power management and plug & play function.
There is a build-in stereo audio amplifier with OSD control to drive a pair of speakers.
Additional information
Due to the nature of liquid crystal display (LCD) technology, the picture resolution is always fixed. For the best
display performance, please set the display resolution to 1920x1080 pixels with an aspect ratio of 16:10. This is
called “Native Resolution” or maximal resolution – that is, the clearest picture. Lower resolutions are displayed on a
full screen through an interpolation circuit. Image blurring across pixel boundaries can occur with the interpolated
resolution depending upon the image type and its initial resolution.
