ENGLISH The monitor will automatically sychronise within a wide range of scanning frequencies and determine the specific operating mode. Monitor behaviour (degauss & reset), image quality and screen geometry adjustments can be changed or selected via the hardware OSD by means of the front panel push-buttons. Your new monitor provides special features as: ´...
D-sub inputs to give you the maximum flexibility. AGAS The CRT of your new MGD203/MGD403 is finished with “AGAS” treatment, one of the most effective Anti-Glare/Anti-Static screen coating. With this treatment the intensity of reflected light is reduced to less than 0,5%, the picture contrast and sharpness remains unimpaired, and cleaning the screen is made easier.
ENGLISH AUTOSCAN This feature allows you to use your monitor with a wide range of video cards: the MGD 203/MGD 403 monitor will automatically synchronize at all horizontal frequencies in the range 30 - 95 KHz and vertical frequencies in the range 50-170 Hz, and will automatical- ly discriminate the specific operating mode.

1GUN / 3 GUNS BRIGHTNESS This function allows to select (via OSD menu) between Low Brigtness Mode (even better picture sharpness and reduced eye strain) and High Brightness Mode (full brightness). WARNING: This function is available only if “1-BNC” input is selected since it has no much sence with color video cards.

The user has the possibility to change the adjustments at any time. RESOLUTION The maximum resolutions displayable on the screen are: MGD203 : 1280 x 1024 @ 90 Hz MGD403 : 1600 x 1280 @ 72 Hz UNIVERSAL POWER SUPPLY This unit will automatically detect and power up at any line voltage and frequency all over the world with no intervention of the operator.
