when the ambient lighting falls below a predetermined value (i.e. when of-
fice lights are shut off at the end of the day), which can significantly reduce
energy expenses. When you consider the number of monitors used on trad-
ing floors and other display-heavy environments, this brightness function
can contribute significantly to a lower total cost of ownership.
The displays’ ECO Mode™ further helps conserve energy by allowing you
to define a setting for the backlight at a 50 or 75% brightness level. This
feature’s benefits are best utilized in larger corporate environments where
many displays are employed.
Achieve consistent, long-distance signals.
The MultiSync 90 Series’ Cable-
Comp™ lets you realize the advantages of long analog or digital monitor
cable lengths without the difficulties and costs normally associated with
this type of configuration. This technology uses a digitized signal delay
circuit to automatically compensate for each red, green and blue cable’s
length and video signal delay, ensuring sharp image reproduction. Cable-
Comp also boosts the video signal to prevent blurred images without the
need for costly repeaters. In environments such as trading floors and call
centers, longer cables enable systems to be centrally located in control
rooms far away from users (up to 326 feet/100 meters [analog]; 90 feet/30
meters [digital]), allowing monitor upgrades, service and repairs to be ac-
complished without interrupting the work environment.
Wide compatibility for today and tomorrow.
Ambix
3
™ technology provides
the widest range of computer video compatibilities between analog and
digital systems by allowing the same monitor to work seamlessly in any
technical environment. The DVI-I connector provides digital or analog
input, the DVI-D connector provides digital-only input, and a third input is
provided with a traditional 15-pin VGA connector, which allows for legacy
analog-only connection. Ambix
3
provides the ability to toggle between
all three inputs, reducing the expense of external monitor switches. This
triple-interface architecture provides a number of single-, dual- or triple-
input configurations.
Hassle-free display setup.
With Advanced No Touch Auto Adjust™, Multi-
Sync 90 Series monitors not only provide for an optimal image upon initial
power-on but can also detect closed signal changes even if they run under
the same resolution and refresh rate, as is the case with external signal
switch boxes. This results in a more stable image after switching. These
models also feature auto DVI cable detection, which, upon power-up of
your computer system, allows it to identify which signal cable (analog
or digital) is attached to the monitor’s DVI-I connector. This technology
eliminates many manual setup steps and assures that your system and
monitor configuration are achieving optimal performance.
Enhanced pro-level screen performance.
With X™ wide-angle
viewing technology you can enjoy flexible horizontal and vertical viewing
angles up to 178°(89° up, down, left and right) with minimal color shift
and less glare, reflection and distortion. Less off-angle color shift results in
less image degradation and, in environments where data may be viewed
by multiple users, this enhanced feature proves to be a winning solution.
NEC’s Rapid Response™ technology with overdrive provides for uninter-
rupted display of full-motion video with response times as quick as 16ms.
The overdrive function improves the critical gray-to-gray response time,
reducing pixel lag and enhancing the video experience. This feature
has been developed specifically for 50 Hz broadcast video sources as it
guarantees smooth representation of moving images. Rapid Motion™, a
technology strictly for viewing moving video, DVD movies or MPEG files,
bypasses frame memory altogether for smooth-flowing video reproduction
without ghosting or digital artifacts. Overall, this remarkably quick motion
makes these models better than ever for animation, game development
and video applications such as presentations and streaming web video.
Environmental friendliness and intelligent power management ensure a
smart investment.
MultiSync 90 Series displays were developed using ma-
terials that not only meet strict environmental standards but make it easier
for you to recycle the product at the end of its lifecycle. The displays’
RoHS compliancy ensures that they are free of hazardous chemicals such
as lead, hex-chrome, cadmium, PBDE and PBB, with reduced mercury.
They also meet Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) regula-
tions, a directive that controls the disposal of equipment and the percent-
age going to landfills.
The MultiSync 90 Series meets or exceeds the EPA’s Energy Star
®
4.0 Tier
2 standard for energy consumption, allowing you to conserve power and
lower your total cost of ownership. Many technologies contribute to these
savings, including the real-time clock with power management scheduler,
which can be set from 1-24 hours x 7 days via the on-screen display. If
users forget to turn off their monitors, this function will turn them off
automatically after a user-determined period of time, thereby reducing
electrical power costs. The high-efficiency backlight, which provides the
longest lifetimes of any NEC LCD monitor family, reduces not only the
power consumption but also the heat generation at the front of the screen.
Gain greater control.
Our exclusive NaViSet™ software (available by down-
load) offers an intuitive graphical user interface that allows you to adjust
On Screen Display (OSD
®
) display settings via mouse and keyboard instead
of using the monitor’s up-front buttons. This software provides animated
graphics and test patterns to help guide you through adjustments.
For an unprecedented level of control, NaViSet Administrator software for
IT professionals (available upon request) contains Windows Management
Instrumentation™ (WMI) for remote control and diagnostics maintenance for
all installed MultiSync 90 Series units. This software provides IT personnel
remote access to the monitor and its settings without disrupting the user.
All of these control capabilities are made possible using the improved
remote diagnostics and remote control capabilities of the Display Data
Channel/Command Interface (DDC/CI). This allows control commands
to be sent directly to the monitor by the local system or remotely over an
existing network (LAN) by a system administrator. In order to take full
advantage of these benefits, users must use a DDC/CI-compatible graphics
card and be running Windows 2000/XP.
DDC/CI also enables self-diagnostics for MultiSync 90 Series displays, help-
ing keep administrators aware of possible abnormalities such as lamp and
circuit block failures, input signal status and temperatures on the inside of
the cabinet. When the display detects a problem, the LED on the front of the
bezel flashes in a pattern of long and short blinks, depending on the type of
abnormality. The diagnosis information also can be accessed via NaViSet.
These displays support asset management capability by adhering to VESA
DDC and EDID standards. Based on these standards, information from the
monitors such as serial number, model name and date of manufacture can
be communicated to a central system using asset management software
such as Microsoft’s System Management Server.
