This document is a user guide for an Acer LCD Monitor, providing essential information for safe and comfortable use, setup, and troubleshooting.
The Acer LCD Monitor is designed for video and visual display of information obtained from electronic devices. It supports various display modes and resolutions, making it suitable for general computing, gaming, and multimedia consumption. The monitor features multiple input options, including VGA and HDMI, to connect to different devices. It also incorporates power-saving features to reduce energy consumption when not actively in use.
The guide emphasizes safety and comfort during use. It advises users to read all instructions and warnings carefully. For LCD monitors, it notes that slight flickering during initial use, uneven brightness, and the presence of a small percentage of non-effective pixels (0.01% or less) are normal and do not indicate a problem. It also mentions that an afterimage may remain after prolonged display of the same image, which can be resolved by changing the image or turning off the monitor for a few hours.
The power outlet for the monitor should be easily accessible to allow for quick disconnection if needed.
To protect hearing, users are advised to gradually increase volume, avoid increasing it after ears have adjusted, limit high-volume listening, avoid turning up volume to block out noise, and turn down volume if unable to hear people speaking nearby.
The monitor should not be used near water or placed on unstable surfaces. Ventilation slots must not be blocked to prevent overheating. Objects should not be pushed into cabinet slots, and liquids should not be spilled on or into the product. To prevent damage, the product should not be placed on a vibrating surface or used in vibrating environments.
The monitor should be operated with the specified power type. Users should consult their dealer or power company if unsure. The power cord should not be walked on. If an extension cord is used, its ampere rating and the overall system load should not exceed 80% of the branch circuit rating. The product's three-wire grounded plug requires a properly grounded outlet.
The device must be switched off in areas with potentially explosive atmospheres, such as near fuel depots, chemical plants, or during blasting operations.
Small parts should be kept out of reach of small children.
Acer is committed to environmental protection and recycling. Users are encouraged to recycle electronic devices and not dispose of them in trash.
The LCD unit is manufactured with high precision, but some pixels may occasionally appear as black or red dots, which does not affect the image and is not considered a malfunction.
The monitor is shipped with power management enabled, activating Sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity and waking up when the mouse is moved or a keyboard key is pressed.
To prevent eyestrain, headaches, and musculoskeletal disorders, users are advised to:
Users should take short, regular breaks, perform stretching exercises, breathe fresh air, and maintain a healthy body.
The guide includes a list of items present in the box (LCD monitor, quick start guide, AC power cord, optional HDMI 1.4 cable, optional VGA cable, optional audio cable). Users are instructed to save packing materials for future transport.
The monitor's tilt can be adjusted from -5° to 20° for optimal viewing. Instructions are provided for attaching the base, emphasizing careful handling to avoid scratching the screen.
Users should ensure the correct power cord type for their region. The monitor has a universal power supply (100/120 V AC or 220/240 V AC). The AC power cord connects to the adapter, which then plugs into an AC outlet. Specific cord set requirements are given for 120 V AC and 220/240 V AC units.
The monitor enters "Power Saving" mode (indicated by an amber LED) when a control signal from the display controller is received. It returns to "ON" state (blue LED) when a control signal is detected or the keyboard/mouse is activated, with a recovery time of about 3 seconds.
The monitor supports DDC2B, allowing it to plug-and-play by automatically informing the host system about its capabilities (resolutions, timing). Pin assignments for 15-pin and 19-pin color display signal cables are provided.
A table lists various VESA modes, resolutions (e.g., 640x480, 1920x1080), and refresh rates (e.g., 60Hz, 70Hz, 75Hz) supported by the monitor.
The monitor features a joystick-like toggle button on the backside of the display bezel for navigating the On-Screen Display (OSD) menu.
The OSD main page provides access to:
This page allows adjustment of various settings, organized into categories:
A troubleshooting table helps users self-diagnose common problems:
Users are advised to unplug the monitor before cleaning. A soft cloth should be used to wipe the screen and cabinet front and sides.
Users should not attempt to service the product themselves due to dangerous voltage points. All servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel. The guide lists conditions under which servicing is required, such as damaged power cord/plug, liquid spills, exposure to rain/water, drops, case damage, distinct change in performance, or abnormal operation.
