Page 44 If the signal transferred from the computer is the same as the following Preset Timing Modes, the screen will be adjusted automatically. However, if the signal differs, the screen may go blank while the power LED is on.

Refer to the video card manual and adjust the screen as follows. Table 1. Page 45 U. Arlington, NJ Tel. Natural Color R. Page 47 Tel. Page 48 Dot Pitch The image on a monitor is composed of red, green and blue dots. The closer the dots, the higher the resolution.

The distance between two dots of the same color is called the 'Dot Pitch'. Unit: mm Service Vertical Frequency Terms The screen must be redrawn several times per second in order to create and display an image Page 49 Federal Communications Commission. It is available from the U. Page 51 both in the products and during their manufacture.

Since it has not been possible so far for the majority of electronic equipment to be recycled in a satisfactory way, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter Nature. There are also other characteristics of a monitor, such as energy consumption levels, that are important from both the working and natural environment viewpoints.

Page 52 TCO'95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm parts per million of mercury. It also demands that no mercury is present in any of the electrical or electronics components concerned with the display unit. CFCs freons CFCs freons are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards and in the manufacturing of expanded foam for packaging. Perfectly acceptably sharp, if you ask me. But anything higher should look, well, not awful , but not as clear as it might.

And that's the case. You can't see individual pixels, even with a magnifying glass, because there just aren't enough dot triads to render them - and they bleed together horizontally more than they bleed together vertically, as you'd expect from the triad counts.

Many cheap 19 inch monitors have 0. If you buy a cheaper screen than the DF, you're practically guaranteed a higher dot pitch. So the Samsung does a better job on higher resolutions than a lot of its competition, if you ignore the refresh rate.

The DF keeps its control buttons on this slide-out "tongue", which extends at a measured pace when you push on it once, and clicks closed when you push on it again. It's a fun feature, but I can't help but think that it might have something to do with the chunkiness of the DF's screen surround. This isn't actually a big fat monitor for its screen size, and it doesn't actually have a smaller-than-usual viewable area for a 19 incher.

But the surround is a bit wider than usual all around and particularly wide at the bottom, which gives the impression of a smaller screen.

Aesthetic quibbles aside, the DF's pop-out buttons give you access to the usual plethora of settings, with the usual on-screen display. Cheaper monitors used to deny you even relatively basic geometry controls like trapezoid and rotation useful for compensating for nearby speaker magnets , but that's not the norm any more. The DF, like every decent screen these days, has the works. And the ability to tell the on-screen display to use any of nine languages, so when you get bored you can set your workmate's monitor to speak Korean.

They might, however, prefer one with slightly better stability when the screen contents change. As with other non-professional monitors, the DF's display geometry changes noticeably when there are large changes in the screen contents, as when you flick from a mostly-white word processor to a mostly-black CAD package.

But the changes are not large enough to bother the majority of users, including me. Similarly, it's likely that you won't be able to perfectly dial in the DF's geometry settings. If you peering closely at your screen, noting the distances of each corner of the lit display from the plastic surround, there'll probably be noticeable differences. My SL's the same, and so is every other "budget" monitor I've ever seen.

Some people get very hot and bothered about this sort of thing; I'm not sure why, personally. We are talking about geometry differences that often amount to just a few minutes of arc when measured at their most extreme points, here. Yes, you can see it. But, normally, only if you're looking for it. If you ask me, for the money, you really can't complain. A more valid gripe has to do with budget screens' colour rendering, which can be well sub-par by professional standards.

If it's important to you that your cross-device colour calibration be absolutely bang on, and that the whole screen render every colour precisely uniformly, then no budget screen is likely to be good enough for you. Which includes the DF. I do quite a lot of imaging work myself, though, and I've got no problem whatsoever with doing it on a screen with mildly questionable colour rendering.

Just looking at them, with a variety of different graphics, the DF screens all look better than fine for the vast majority of PC tasks. And that definitely includes the games that many people buy a big monitor to enhance. Another thing that might irk people looking for a pro monitor on the cheap is the DF's built-in video cable, and lack of any other input connectors. Many better screens have at least two inputs, with an unpluggable 15 pin cable for one input and a set of three BNC connectors for the other.

The BNC connectors allow serious graphics folks to connect very high quality video leads, which can significantly improve screen clarity at high resolutions. They also let underinformed poseurs connect cheap BNC leads and wonder why their display now looks worse. In reality, for the resolutions the DF is meant to handle, it doesn't matter whether you use a pack-in video lead or a fancy after-market one, assuming you don't need a long cable run.
