Operating the Monitor User’ s Guide 4–13 Adjusting Screen Quality The Auto-adjustment feature automatically fine-tunes the image quality for display size, position, clock, and phase each time a new video mode is displayed. For more precise adjustments, run the Auto-Adjust software on the CD. See “Using the Auto-Adjustment Function”. If additional image quality improv ement is desired, use the Clock and Phase controls of the monito r to fine-tune the image. See “Optimizing Analog V ideo”. Optimizing Analog V ideo This monitor contains advanced circ uitr y that allows the flat panel screen to function as a standard analog monitor . T wo controls in the Advanced Menu OSD (On-Screen Display) can be adjusted to improve analog image per formance: ■ Clock — Increase or decrease the value to minimize any ver tical bars or stripes visible on the screen background. ■ Clock Phase — Increase or decrease the value to minimize video distortion or video jitter . Use these controls only when th e auto-adjust function does not provide a satisfactor y monitor image in analog mode. T o obtain the best results: 1. Allow the monitor to warm up for 20 minutes before adjusting. 2. Display the adjustment pattern application provided on the CD. 3. Access the Advanced Menu OSD; select Image Contr ol . 4. Set the main Clock correctly first, since the Clock Phase settings depend on the main Clock setting. ❏ When adjusting the Clock and Clock Phase values, if the monitor images become distor ted, continue adjusting the values until the distortion disappears. T o restore the factor y settings, access the Advanced Menu OSD, select Factor y Reset , and select Ye s .
Operating the Monitor 4–14 User’ s Guide Entering User Modes The video controller signal may occasionally require a custom user mode if you are not using a stan dard graphics adapter or preset mode.

T echnical Specifications B–4 User’ s Guide LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy The FP9419 LCD Monitor uses high-precision technology , manufactured according to hi gh standards, to guarantee trouble-free perfor mance. Nevertheless, the display may have cosmetic imperf ections that appear as small bright or dark spots. This is common to all LCD displays used in products supplied by all vendors and is not specific to the FP9419 LCD Monitor. These imperfections are caused by one or more defective pixels or sub-pixels. ■ A pixel consists of one red, one green, and one blue sub-pixel. ■ A defective whole pixel is always turned on (a bright spot on a dark background), or it is always off (a dark spot on a bright background). The first is the more visible of the two. ■ A defective sub-pixel (dot defect) is less visible than a defective whole pixel and is small and only visible on a specific background. The FP9419 LCD Monitor has: ■ Less than 5 total dot defects ■ 0 defective full pixels ■ 3 defective bright sub-pixels (maximum) ■ 5 defective dark sub-pixels (maximum) ■ No more than two adjacent (l ess than 2.5 mm edge-to-edge) and defective pixels ■ No more than two pairs of two adjacent defective pixels T o locate defective pixels, the monitor should be viewed under normal operating conditions and in nor mal operating mode at a suppor ted resolution and refr esh rate, from a distance of approximately 50 cm (16 in.). W e expect that, over time, the industr y will continue to improve its ability to produce displays with fewer cosmetic imper fections and we will adjust guidelines as improvements are made.

Agency Regulator y Notices C–6 User’ s Guide TCO ‘99 Requirements You have just purchased a TCO ‘99 approved and labeled product! Your choice has provid ed you with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the burden on the en vironment and to the further development of environmentally adapted electronics products. Why do we have environmentally labeled computers? In many countries/regions, environmental labeling has become an established method for encouraging the adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The main problem, as far as computers and other electronics equipment are concerned, is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products and during their manufacture. Sinc e it is not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of electronics equipment, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter nature. There are also other characteristic s of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are important from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (e xternal) environments. Since all methods of electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (for example, acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often left running continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.
Agency Regulator y Notices User’ s Guide C–7 What does the environmental labeling involve? This product meets the requirements for the TCO ‘99 scheme which provides for an international and environmental labeling of personal computers. The labeling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsf oreningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation), Staten s Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration), and SEMKO AB. The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environmental, ergonomic, usability, reduction of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption, and electrical safety. The environmental demands impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and ch lorinated solvents, among other things. The product must be pr epared for recycling, and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental policy which must be adhered to in each country/region where the company implements its operational policy. The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or monitor, after a certain pe riod of inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more stages. The length of time to reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user. Below, you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product. The complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from: TCO Development SE-114 94 Stockholm, Sweden Fax: 46 8 782 92 07 E-mail (Internet): development@tco.se Current information regarding TCO ‘99 approved and labeled products may also be obtained over the Internet, using the address: http://www .tco-info.com/
Agency Regulator y Notices C–8 User’ s Guide Envir onmental Requirements Flame retardants: Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. Their purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay, the spread of fire . Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride, and those flame retardants are chemically related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative 1 processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in fetus development may occur. The relevant TCO ’99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available. Cadmium: 1 Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO ‘99 requirement states that batteries, the color-generating layers of displa y screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium. 1. Bio-accumulative is defined as subs tances which accumulate within living organisms. Lead, Cadmium and Merc ur y are heavy metals which are bio-accumulative.
Agency Regulator y Notices User’ s Guide C–9 Mercury: 1 Mercury is sometimes found in batt eries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO ‘99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury. It also demands that mercury is not present in any of the electrical or electronics co mponents associated with the labeled unit. There is however on e exception. Mercury is, for the time being, permitted in the back li ght system of flat panel monitors as there today is no commercially available alternative. TCO aims on removing this exception when a mercury-free alternative is available. CFCs (freons): The relevant TCO ‘99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on earth of ultraviolet light with e. g. increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a consequence. Lead: 1 Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. The relevant TCO ‘99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed. 1. Bio-accumulative is defined as subs tances which accumulate within living organisms. Lead, Cadmium and Merc ur y are heavy metals which are bio-accumulative.
