Introduction
This manual tells you how to connect, adjust and care for your monitor. This manual also
provides technical specifications and instructions for troubleshooting problems you may
experience with your monitor.
Monitor features
The Diamond monitor is an intelligent, microprocessor-based monitor compatible with
most analog RGB (red, green, blue) display standards, including PS/V, PS/2, Apple Macin-
tosh, Centris, Quadra, Macintosh II and Power Macintosh products. It provides crisp text
and vivid color graphics with VGA, SVGA, XGA (non-interlaced), and most Macintosh
compatible color graphics boards.
쮿The monitor’s wide auto-scanning compatibility range makes it possible to upgrade
graphics boards or software without needing to purchase a new monitor.
쮿Digitally controlled auto-scanning is done using an internal microprocessor, for hor-
izontal scan frequencies between 30kHz and 121kHz, and vertical scan frequencies
between 50Hz and 160Hz. The microprocessor-based intelligence allows the mon-
itor to operate in each frequency mode with the precision of a fixed frequency mon-
itor.
쮿The monitor contains resident memory for pre-programmed screen display stan-
dards and is also capable of storing additional user adjustment parameters.
쮿The monitor is capable of producing a non-interlaced maximum addressable resolu-
tion format of 2048 dots x 1536 lines with systems based on IBM. This display is
well suited for windowing environments.
쮿Because of the analog signal inputs, the monitor can display an unlimited palette of
colors that can be manually adjusted to suit your specific needs.
쮿The monitor has a power management function according to the standard of VESA-
DPMS, NUTEK and Energy Star. To save energy, the monitor must be connected to
a system compliant with this standard. (Refer to your computer and/or graphics
board instructions for proper operation.)
쮿To ensure the easy installation and operation of this monitor, a moiréclear function
and an on-screen display (OSD) present all of the functions for setup and adjust-
ment.
쮿The monitor complies with the safety standards UL 1950, CSA C22.2 No. 950 and
EN60950, FCC Class-B, VCCI Class-B and EN55022 Class-B for EMI, MPR II, and with

the ergonomics standards ISO 9241-3, ISO9241-7 and ISO9241-8. The monitor also
complies with
TCO ’99 guideline for environmentally friendly use.
쮿Digital chassis design for lighter, more compact housing and improved display per-
formance.
쮿The DIAMONDTRON tube features a 0.24 mm slot mask, improved focus through the
P-NX-DBF (Dynamic Beam Forming) and a screen coating with excellent picture con-
trast.
쮿The monitor complies with Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) DDC1/
2B(EDID) specification. If your computer provides DDC1/2B(EDID) function, the
setup takes place automatically.
쮿The innovative tube technology makes a naturally flat and completely planar picture
possible, free of any curvature.
쮿The planar screen allows for an optically perfect picture over the entire diplay sur-
face.
쮿The flat surface and antireflective coating reduce the reflection of environmental
light.
쮿USB self-powered hub with 2 upstream ports and 3 downstream ports.
