Introduction to the NEC MultiSync LCD1525V E - 1
Introduction to the NEC MultiSync LCD1525V
Congratulations on your purchase of the NEC MultiSync LCD1525V
true colour monitor!
Wider Compatibility
Because the MultiSync LCD monitor is analog through and through, it
does not require special analog to digital display or interface cards but
can accept RGB input directly.
Reduced Footprint
Provides the ideal solution for environments requiring superior image
quality but with size and weight limitations. The monitor’s small foot-
print and low weight allow it to be moved or transported easily from one
location to another.
Colour Control System
Allows you to adjust the colours on your screen and customize the colour
accuracy of your monitor to a variety of standards.
OSM (On-Screen Manager) Controls
Allow you to quickly and easily adjust all elements of your screen image
via simple to use on-screen 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 base for
preferred angle of vision, small footprint and compliance with MPRII
guidelines for lower emissions.
Plug and Play
The Microsoft®solution with the Windows®operating system facilitates
setup and installation by allowing the monitor to send its capabilities (such
as screen size and resolutions supported) directly to your computer, auto-
matically optimizing display performance.

IPM (Intelligent Power Manager) System
Provides innovative power-saving methods that allow the monitor to shift
to a lower power consumption level when on but not in use, saving two-
thirds of your monitor energy costs, reducing emissions and lowering the
air conditioning costs of the workplace.
Multiple Frequency Technology
Automatically adjusts monitor to the display card’s scanning frequency,
thus displaying the resolution required.
FullScan Capability
Allows you to use the entire screen area in most resolutions, significantly
expanding image size.

the monitor near a radiator or other heat sources. Do not put
anything on top of monitor.
• Do not spill any liquids into the cabinet or use your monitor
near water.
• Do not insert objects of any kind into the cabinet slots, as they

the system from the power supply. The monitor should be
installed close to a power outlet that is easily accessible.
• When operating the MultiSync LCD monitor with its AC220-
240V worldwide power supply, use a power supply cord that

CORRECT PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR
CAN REDUCE EYE, SHOULDERAND NECK FATIGUE. CHECKTHE
FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION THE MONITOR:
• For optimum performance, allow 20 minutes for warm-up.
• Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the screen is at or
slightly below eye level. Your eyes should look slightly down-
ward when viewing the middle of the screen.
• Position your monitor no closer than 40 cm and no further away
than 70 cm from your eyes. The optimal distance is 53 cm for
the MultiSync LCD1525V monitor.
• Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at least 6 m
away. Blink often.
• Position the monitor at a 90° angle to windows and other light
sources to minimize glare and reflections.Adjust the monitor tilt
so that ceiling lights do not reflect on your screen.
• If reflected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use an
anti-glare filter.
• Clean the LCD monitor surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive
cloth. Avoid using any cleaning solution or glass cleaner!
• Adjust the monitor’s brightness and contrast controls to enhance
readability.
• Use a document holder placed close to the screen.
• Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen
or reference material) directly in front of you to minimize turn-
ing your head while you are typing.
• Avoid displaying fixed patterns on the monitor for long periods
of time to avoid image persistence (after-image effects).
• Get regular eye checkups.
