If your computer has a mini D-Sub 15-pin connector, you may have to use the supplied RGB cable. *7 Other screen modes (ZOOM and STADIUM) are available as well. NOTE: While the input signals comply with the resolution listed in the table above, you may have to adjust the position and size of the picture or the fine picture because of errors in synchronization of your computer. When a 1280 dots 4201 lines signal or 1600 dots 0021 lines signal is input to the monitor, the picture will be compressed. This monitor has a resolution of 1365 dots 867 lines. It is recommended that the input signal should be XGA, wide XGA, or equivalent. With digital input some signals are not accepted. The sync may be disturbed when a nonstandard signal other than the aforementioned is input. If you are connecting a composite sync signal, use the HD terminal. * IBM PC/AT and XGA are registered trademarks of International Business Machines, Inc. of the United States. * Apple Macintosh is a registered trademark of Apple Computer, Inc. of the United States.

*1 Overheat protector If the monitor becomes too hot, the overheat protector will be activated and the monitor will be turned off. If this happens, turn off the power to the monitor and unplug the power cord. If the room where the monitor is installed is particularly hot, move the monitor to a cooler location and wait for the monitor to cool for 60 minutes. If the problem persists, contact your dealer. *2 In the following case, power off the monitor immediately and contact your dealer or authorized Service Center. The monitor turns off 5 seconds after powering on and then the POWER/STANDBY indicator blinks. It indicates that the power supply circuit, plasma display panel, temperature sensor, or one or more fans have been damaged.

PlasmaSync and OSM are trademarks of NEC Corporation. The plasma display panel consists of fine picture elements (cells). Although NEC produces these plasma display panels with more than 99.99 percent of their cells active, there may be some cells that do not produce light or remain lit after they should have turned off. Light output of a PDP module gradually decreases over long-term use. Do not display static images for prolonged periods; other wise a phosphor burn may appear on a part of the panel. Phosphor burns are not covered by the warranty. Status September 2003. Specifications may change without notice.
