another adapter (purchased separately) may be required.
• If the monitor is receiving timing signals that are not compatible,
[OUT OF TIMING] will appear. Follow your computer’s instruction
manual to set the timing so that it is compatible with the monitor.
• If the monitor is not receiving any signal (synch signal), [NO SIG-
NAL] will appear.
Relevant signal timings (digital)
• All are compliant only with non-interlaced.
• A computer with an output terminal conforming to DVI (DVI-D24 pin
or DVI-I29 pin) and with XGA output capability can be connected
here. Depending on the type of computer to be connected, the dis-
play may not work correctly. In order to connect, it is necessary to
purchase a digital signal cable (model name: NL-C01E) separately.
• If the monitor is receiving timing signals that are not compatible,

Power management
The monitor is based on the VESA DPMS and the DVI DMPM stan-
dards.
To activate the monitor’s Power Management function, both the video
card and the computer must conform to the VESA DPMS standard
and the DVI DMPM standard.
DPMS: Display Power Management Signalling
DMPM: Digital Monitor Power Management
DDC (Plug & Play)
This monitor supports the VESA DDC (Display Data Channel) stan-
dard.
DDC is a signal standard for carrying out Plug & Play functions on the
monitor or PC. It transfers information such as degree of resolution
between the monitor and PC. You can use this function if your PC is
DDC compliant and if it is set so that it can detect the Plug & Play
monitor.
There are many varieties of DDC due to the differences between sys-
tems. This monitor works with DDC1 and DDC2B.

3. SET-UP INFORMATION, ICC PROFILE
INSTALLING SET-UP INFORMATION AND THE ICC
PROFILE (WINDOWS)
Depending on the computer or OS, it may be necessary to use the
computer to operate the installation of monitor set-up information etc.
If so, follow the steps below to install the monitor set-up information.
(Depending on the type of computer or OS, command names and
methods may differ. Please follow the computer’s own operation man-
ual while reading this.)
About the ICC profile
An ICC (International Color Consortium) profile is a file that describes
the color characteristics of the LCD monitor. By using an application
that works together with an ICC profile, a high color resolution can be
realized.
• Windows98, WindowsMe and Windows2000 all use the ICC profile.
• When installing Windows98, WindowsMe and Windows2000 set-up
information (described below), the ICC profile is also installed. If you
would like to install the ICC program only, please refer to Installing
the ICC profile.
• When using the ICC profile, please set the [WHITE BALANCE] to
[STD] and the [COLOR MODE] to [OFF].
INFORMATION ABOUT THE COLORSYNC PROFILE
(MACOS)
About the ColorSync profile
ColorSync is the Apple Corporation’s color management system and
is a function that enables color resolution to be realized when used
with a compatible application. A ColorSync profile describes the color
characteristics of the LCD monitor.
Notes: • This monitor’s ColorSync profile works with MacOS8.5 or
above.
• When using the ColorSync profile, please set the [WHITE
BALANCE] to [STD] and the [COLOR MODE] to [OFF].
About installing procedure of, profile please see operation manual.

(WHEN USING AN ANALOG SIGNAL)
(1) AUTOMATIC SCREEN ADJUSTMENT
CLOCK, PHASE, H-POS V-POS in ADJUSTMENT can be adjusted
automatically.
Note: When setting up this monitor for the first time or after having
any change on an aspect of the current system, perform this
automatic screen adjustment before use.
Opening the Adjustment Pattern (for Windows)
If you are using Windows, you can use the Adjustment Pattern (for
Windows) on the accompanying Utility Disk.
This explanation is for Windows 95/98/Me/2000, and assumes that the
floppy disk drive is “A drive”.
1. Place the Utility Disk (provided) into the computer’s A drive.
2. Open [My Computer] and select [3 1/2Floppy [A:]]. If using Win-
dows 3.1, open [File Manager] and choose “A drive”.
3. Double click on [Adj_uty.exe] to run the Adjustment Program.
The Adjustment Pattern will appear.
Notes: • After completing the adjustments, press the computer’s [Esc]
key to exit the Adjustment Program.
• If the floppy disk drive of your computer is not “A drive”,
please read the below substituting the floppy disk drive you
are using in place of “A drive” or “A”.
• If your computer’s display mode is set to 65K colors, you
may see the different color levels in each color pattern or the
gray scale may look colored. (This is due to the specification
of the input signal and is not a malfunction.)
