OSM (On-Screen Manager) Controls
Allow you to quickly and easily adjust all elements of your screen image
via simple to use on-sreen menus.
ErgoDesign Features
Enhance human ergonomics to improve the working environment,
protect the health of the user and save money. Examples include OSM
controls for quick and easy image adjustments, tilt/swivel pivot stand
for preferred angle of viewing, small footprint and compliance with
MPRII and TCO guidelines for lower emissions.
Pivoting Stand
Allows users to adjust the monitor to the orientation that best fits their
application, either Landscape orientation for wide documents, or portrait
orientation for the ability to preview a full page on one screen at one
time. The Portrait orientation is also perfect for full screen video
conferencing.
PlugandPlay(MultiSyncLCD1510andMultiSyncLCD1510Vonly)
The Microsoft solution with the Windows operating system facilitates
setup and installation by allowing the monitor to send its capabilities
(suchasscreensize and resolutions supported) directly toyour computer,
automatically optimizing display performance.
IPM (Intelligent PowerManager) System
Provides innovative power-saving methodes that allow the monitor to
shift to a lower power consumption level when on but not in use, saving
two-thirdsof your monitor energy cost, reducing emissions and lowering
the air conditioning cost of the workplace.
Multiple frequency Technology
Automatically adjusts monitor to the display card’s scanning frequency,
thus displaying the resolution required.

referred to as graphics card, video adapter or graphics board).
Both configurations have a video connector (or a CRT PORT on laptop
computers). If you are not sure which connector is the video connector,
refer to your computer or display card manual.
To attach the monitor to your system, follow these instructions:
1. Turn off the power to the monitor and computer.
2. If necessary, installthedisplay card. For more informationabout
installing your card, refer to the display card manual.
3. Connect the 15-pin mini D-SUB of the appropriate signal
cable to the connector of the display card in your computer.
