Technical Features

Preset and user modes

When the monitor receives an input signal, it automatically
matches the signal to one of the factory preset modes stored in the
monitor's memory to provide a high quality picture at the center of
the screen. (See Appendix for a list of the factory preset modes.)
For input signals that do not match one of the factory preset modes,
the digital Multiscan technology of this monitor ensures that a
clear picture appears on the screen for any timing in the monitor's
frequency range (horizontal: 30 – 70 kHz, vertical: 48 – 120 Hz).
If the picture is adjusted, the adjustment data is stored as a user
mode and automatically recalled whenever the same input signal
is received.
Note for Windows users
For Windows users, check your graphic board manual or the
utility program which comes with your graphic board and select
the highest available refresh rate to maximize monitor
performance.

Power saving function

This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA,
E S
NERGY TAR, and NUTEK. If the monitor is connected to a
computer or video graphics board that is DPMS (Display Power
Management Signaling) compliant, the monitor will automatically
reduce power consumption in three stages as shown below.
Power mode Power consumption
normal 95 W
operation
1 standby 15 W
2 suspend 15 W
(sleep)*
3 active off** 5 W
(deep sleep)*
power off 0 W
* "Sleep" and "deep sleep" are power saving modes defined by the
Environmental Protection Agency.
** When your computer enters the "active off" mode, the input signal is
cut and NO INPUT SIGNAL appears on the screen. After 20 seconds,
the monitor enters the power saving mode.

Troubleshooting

Before contacting technical support, refer to this section.
If thin line appears on your screen
(damper wire)
The visible line on your screen especially when the background
screen color is light (usually white), is normal for the Trinitron
monitor. This is not a malfunction. This is shadow from the
damper wire used to stabilize the aperture grille. The aperture
grille is the essential element that makes a Trinitron picture tube
unique by allowing more light to reach the screen, resulting in a
brighter, more detailed picture.

On-screen messages

If there is something wrong with the input signal, one of the
following messages appears on the screen. To solve the problem,
