Your New Planar LCD Monitor 

Your New Planar LCD Monitor! 

Your New Planar LCD Monitor has been designed to be versatile, ergonomic and user-friendly.  Your New Planar 
LCD Monitor is capable of displaying most standards, from 640 x 480 VGA to 1024 x 768 XGA.  The digital controls 
located on the front panel allow the user to easily adjust the Monitor’s display parameters.  Your New Planar LCD 
Monitor’s small footprint allows you more room in your workspace for other peripherals.  Lightweight and compact, 
your New Planar LCD Monitor is the perfect solution for users on the go.  You can use your New Planar LCD Monitor 
for everything from making business presentations to playing computer games.  The two stereo speakers allow you to 
further expand your computer’s multimedia capabilities by connecting your computer’s Audio out port to your New 
Planar LCD Monitor’s Audio in port.  If you have a complete full workstation, your New Planar LCD Monitor has the 
additional feature of an optional wall-mountable stand for added convenience. 
The architecture of your New Planar LCD Monitor incorporates an LCD panel that produces a clear display with low 
radiation emission, limiting health concerns.  With its low power consumption, your New Planar LCD Monitor helps 
you reduce your power bill. 

Unpacking 

Before you unpack your New Planar LCD Monitor, prepare a suitable workspace for your New Planar LCD Monitor 
and computer.  You need a stable, level and clean surface near a wall outlet.  Even though your New Planar LCD 
Monitor uses very little power, you should put it in a location that allows sufficient airflow to ensure that your New 
Planar LCD Monitor and your computer do not become too hot.  Set up your New Planar LCD Monitor so that the 
panel does not face a window where sunlight often comes in.  The glare caused by sunlight reflecting off your New 
Planar LCD Monitor’s screen will make it difficult to see. 
 

 

Using a computer for an extended period of time with a poor workstation set-up and incorrect working 
habits can cause health problems.  The science of 

ergonomics

 studies the relationship between health 

and a suitable working environment.  There is a section on ergonomics at the end of this chapter.  For 
more information on ergonomics, contact your nearest computer bookstore, or local library.  The Internet 
also has information on this and other subjects. 

 
After you unpack your New Planar LCD Monitor; make sure the following items are included in the box and in good 
condition: 

 

LCD Monitor 

 

Monitor-to-PC signal cable

If you find that any of these items are missing or appear damaged, contact your dealer immediately.  Do not throw 
away the packing material or shipping carton in case you need to ship or store your New Planar LCD Monitor in the 
future.
