Introduction to the NEC MultiSync LCD400/LCD2000
Congratulations on your purchase of the NEC MultiSync LCD400/
LCD2000 true colour monitor!
Analog Advantage
Capable of displaying unlimited colours in a continuous spectrum,
providing a truer representation of colour. The monitor’s high contrast
LCD enhances colour vibrancy and improves focus with no geometric
distortion.
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
footprint 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
Allows you to quickly and easily adjust all elements of your screen
image via simple to use on-sreen menus.
Introduction to the NEC MultiSync LCD400/LCD2000 E - 1

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 (MultiSync LCD400 only)
The Microsoft solution with the Windows 95 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, 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-thirds of 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.
FullScan Capability
Allows you to use the entire screen area in most resolutions,
significantly expanding image size.

Recommended Use
For optimum performance, please note the following when setting up
and using the MultiSync LCD400/LCD2000 colour monitor:
•The optimum monitor position is facing away from direct
sunlight.
•Allow adequate ventilation around the monitor so that heat
can properly dissipate.

transporting.
•The power cable connector is the primary means of detaching
the system from the power supply. The monitor should be
installed close to a power outlet which is easily accessible.
•Clean the LCD monitor surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive
cloth. Avoid using any cleaning solution, glass cleaner or
tissue paper.
•For optimum performance, allow 20 minutes for warm-up.
•Avoid displaying fixed patterns on the monitor for extremely
long periods of the time to avoid after-image effects.
•Avoid applying pressure to the LCD monitor surface.
E - 4 Recommended Use

CORRECT PLACMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR
CAN REDUCE EYE, SHOULDER AND NECK FATIGUE. CHECK
THE FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION THE MONITOR:
•Adjust the monitor height so that thr top of the screen is at or
slightly below eye level. Your eyes should look slightly
downward 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 of
MultiSync LCD400 is 53 cm, MultiSync LCD2000 is 61 cm.
•Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at least
6 m away.
•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.
•Adjust the monitor’s brightness and contrast control 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 turning your head while you are typing.
•Get regular eye checkups.

Installation
Connection to your Personal Computer
The MultiSync LCD400/LCD2000 true colour monitor complements PC
compatible computers. Your system has one of two configurations:
–the video controller is built into the computer.
–the video controller is in the form of a display card (sometimes
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, install the display card. For more information
about 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.
Tighten all srews.
4. For the LCD400:Connect the 15-pin mini D-SUB of the
video signal cable to the appropriate connector on the back of
the monitor.
For the LCD2000:Connect the BNC cable to the appropriate
connectors on the back of the monitor. Connect the red BNC
cable to the BNC connector on the monitor labelled R, the green
BNC cable to the BNC connector on the monitor labelled
G/Sync, the blue BNC cable to the BNC connector on the
monitor labelled B. If you have a fourth BNC connector
(Composite Sync), connect it to the BNC connector on the
monitor labelled H/CS. If you have a fifth BNC connector
(Vertical Sync), connect it to the BNC connector on the monitor
labelled VS.
E - 6 Installation

Note: Incorrect cable connections may result in irregular operation,
damage display quality/components of LCD module and/or shorten the
module’s life.
5. Connect one end of the power cable to the MultiSync LCD
monitor and the other end to the power outlet.
6. Turn on the monitor and the computer.
7. This completes the installation.
If you have any problems, please refer to the Troubleshooting section of
this manual.
Connection to your Personal Computer (Macintosh)
With the Macintosh cable adapter, the MultiSync LCD400/LCD2000
colour monitor is compatible with the Macintosh family of computers.
You will connect your MultiSync colour monitor one of two ways to
your Macintosh computer:
–On-board video port
–NuBus/PCI/PDS display card
Both configurations should have the same style video connector. If you
are not sure which port is the monitor connector, please reference your
computer or display card manual.
To attach the monitor to your system, follow these instructions:
1. Turn off the power to your MultiSync LCD monitor and
Macintosh.
2. If necessary, install the display card. For more information on
this installation, reference the display card manual.
3. Connect the MultiSync LCD400 or MultiSync LCD2000
Macintosh cable adapter to the computer. Attach the 15-pin
mini D-SUB end of the appropriate signal cable to the
Macintosh cable adapter. Tighten all srews.

* Interpolated Resolutions: when resolutions are shown that are lower than the pixel
count of the LCD module, text my appear chappy or lines may appear to be bold. This is
normal and necessary for all current flat panel technologies, each dot on the screen is
actually one pixel, so to expand resolutions to full screen, an interpolation of the
resolution must be done. When the interpolated resolutions is not an exact multiple of
the native resolution, the mathematical interpolation necessary may cause some lines to
appear thicker than others.
** NEC cites recommend resolutions at 60 Hz for optimal display performance.
*** Active display area is dependent upon the signal timing.
