Need help?Do you have a question about the NEC MultiSync LCD175M and is the answer not in the manual?
This document is the User's Manual for the NEC MultiSync LCD175M monitor, providing comprehensive information on its function, usage, and maintenance.
The NEC MultiSync LCD175M is a color monitor designed for various display purposes, offering a range of features to enhance user experience and environmental responsibility. Its primary function is to display visual information from a connected computer system. The monitor supports both analog (15-pin mini D-SUB) and digital (DVI-D) video inputs, allowing for compatibility with a wide array of systems. It also includes an audio input (Stereo Mini Jack) and a headphone output, enabling integrated audio capabilities.
The monitor incorporates an On-Screen Display (OSD) control system, accessible via front-panel buttons, which allows users to adjust various display settings. These settings include Brightness, Contrast, Auto Contrast, Auto Adjust, Left/Right (Horizontal Image Position), Down/Up (Vertical Image Position), H. Size (Horizontal Size), and Fine (focus, clarity, and image stability). It also features Colour Control Systems with five presets (9300/7500/sRGB/USER/NATIVE) and individual adjustments for Red, Green, and Blue. The OSD also provides access to language settings, OSD Turn Off timing, OSD Lock Out for security, DDC/CI control for two-way communication, and Monitor Info displaying model and serial numbers.
A key function of this monitor is its energy-saving capabilities, including an Intelligent Power Manager (IPM) System that shifts the monitor to lower power consumption levels when not in use. It also features ECO MODE settings (ECO MODE1 at 80% brightness and ECO MODE2 at 30% brightness) to reduce power consumption further, meeting Energy Star measurement conditions. The monitor also displays Carbon Savings information, estimating the carbon saved based on its energy efficiency.
The MultiSync LCD175M supports multiple frequency technology, automatically adjusting to the display card's scanning frequency to display the required resolution. It also offers FullScan Capability, allowing the use of the entire screen area in most resolutions, significantly expanding image size.
The MultiSync LCD175M is designed for ease of use and ergonomic comfort. For initial setup, the manual provides clear instructions on unpacking, connecting cables, and powering on the monitor and computer. The monitor comes with a tilt base, allowing users to adjust the screen angle for optimal viewing. It also supports raising and lowering the monitor screen to achieve the desired height, contributing to ergonomic comfort.
The monitor includes a "No-touch Auto Adjust" feature that automatically optimizes display settings upon initial setup for most timings, simplifying the configuration process. For further adjustments, the OSD controls offer a user-friendly interface. The "12/RESET" button serves multiple functions, including input signal selection, reset operations, and muting/unmuting audio.
For alternative mounting options, the monitor stand can be removed, and the monitor can be attached to a VESA-compatible flexible arm or bracket. This feature provides flexibility for various workspace configurations, such as wall mounting.
The manual emphasizes several ergonomic recommendations for optimal use, including adjusting monitor height and distance, resting eyes periodically, positioning the monitor to minimize glare, and using preset size, position, and color controls. It also advises against displaying fixed patterns for long periods to prevent image persistence.
The manual provides important safety precautions and maintenance guidelines to ensure the longevity and proper functioning of the MultiSync LCD175M. Users are warned against opening the monitor, exposing it to rain or moisture, or inserting objects into cabinet slots. It also advises against placing heavy objects on the power cord or using the monitor outdoors.
For cleaning the LCD panel, users are instructed to wipe gently with a soft, lint-free, non-abrasive cloth, avoiding coarse materials, pressure, and OA cleaners. For cleaning the cabinet, a soft cloth dampened with water and a neutral detergent is recommended, with a warning against using harsh chemicals like benzene, thinner, or alcohol-based detergents.
The manual also addresses image persistence, a common characteristic of LCD monitors. It recommends turning off the monitor for a duration equal to the time the previous image was displayed to alleviate residual images. Additionally, it suggests using a moving screen saver or turning off the monitor when idle to prevent image persistence.
Troubleshooting tips are provided for common issues such as "No picture," "Power Button does not respond," "Image is unstable, unfocused or swimming is apparent," "Picture is not as bright," "LED on monitor is not lit," "Display image is not sized properly," "No Video," and "No Sound." These tips guide users through basic checks and adjustments using the OSD controls or physical connections.
The document also includes information on manufacturer's recycling and energy information, highlighting NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS' commitment to environmental protection. It provides details on disposing of old NEC products through various recycling procedures and offers advice on environmentally sensitive handling. The WEEE Mark information guides users on proper disposal of electrical and electronic products within and outside the European Union.
