Features
• The brightness control allows you to easily adjust the display to match
the ambient light, from full sunlight to night, even while wearing
gloves. Its convenient dial design also enables you to quickly adjust the
brightness.
• The monitor’s transective display uses reected light from the
environment - even direct sunlight - to provide a bright image that can
be easily viewed under any lighting conditions.
• The monitor’s autosync function eliminates the need for adjusting the
monitor for the best image - the monitor automatically makes any
needed adjustments whenever it is powered up or the display mode is
changed.
• Two Type A USB connections are available for connecting peripheral
devices such as a keyboard, mouse or USB drive.
• The monitor supports standard VGA signal input - native 1024 x 768
XGA resolution - as well as 800 x 600 SVGA and 640 x 480 VGA.
• The monitor’s magnesium enclosure is waterproof and designed
to withstand shock and vibration for greater endurance and reliability.
