September 17, 1998. Supported display modes and number of colors are a function of the
attaching system unit. The full range of display modes, refresh rates, and number of colors
available with this monitor may not be available or supported with all combinations of system
units, their operating systems, and application software. Implementation of monitor Plug and
Play follows the VESA DDC standard. This standard must also be implemented in the attaching
system unit hardware and software to be effective.
Plug and Play is a registered mark of Microsoft.
Limitations
•Not all supported display modes run at the high refresh rates necessary for flicker-free
performance. Display modes at lower refresh rates are available for compatibility with older
video adapters and system units and will not be ISO-compliant.
•Supported display modes are a function of the attaching system unit and video subsystem.
The full range of display modes available with these monitors may not be available or
supported with all combinations of system units, their operating systems, video adapter cards,
and application software.
•Horizontal- and vertical-synchronization signal timings are critical in order to achieve
acceptable screen images. As a consequence, support for all possible variations in H- and
V-sync timings for any display mode cannot be assumed.
•Adjustment of the user controls to enlarge the image to its maximum size requires that the
signal timings of the display mode being used fall within the monitor-timing specifications.
•The number of colors shown in any display mode will exceed 16 million and is dependent on
the capabilities of the video adapter in the system unit.
•The Lenovo ThinkVision L171 provides FCC class B — residential installation — compliance
in all display modes.
•Implementation of monitor power management follows the VESA DPMS standard. This
standard must also be implemented in the attaching system unit hardware and software for
monitor power management to be effective. The system implementation must provide
user-adjustable, power-down delay periods. The monitor power management function is
invoked only after appropriate signals are received from an attached system unit or video
adapter.
•Implementation of monitor Plug and Play follows the VESA DDC standard. This standard must
also be implemented in the attaching system unit hardware and software for monitor Plug and
Play to be effective.
•Certain functions require the system unit to be similarly configured, so all monitor functions
may not be enabled when attached to a particular system unit.
•A 17.0-inch (432.0 mm) TFT monitor has nearly 4.0 million subpixel transistors laid over an
area exceeding 141 square inches. Cost-effective manufacturing processes introduce a small
number of defective subpixel transistors. The Lenovo ThinkVision L171 meets the ISO
13406-2 Class II Pixel Defect Standard.
•Use of 50% gray background is not recommended since some users may see undesirable
FOS effects.
•The Auto-Setup "test pattern" can be used with Microsoft Windows 3.1, Windows NT™ 3.5,
Windows NT 4.0, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, and DOS 7.0 only.
