Product information

Features
Built-in Speakers Generally the speakers inbuilt in monitors are very basic with only a couple of watts per channel, so theyre not something youd want to listen to high quality CDs or DVDs on, but could prove handy if you just want to listen to streamed radio over the internet and dont have any other speakers set up with your computer.	No
TCO 95/99/03/06 The TCO standard covers visual comfort, recycling, low use of chemical components (like CFC). TCO99 also add a minimum refresh rate of 85 Hz.	TCO '03
Appearence
Color A white or grey monitor will be less straining to your eyes than a black one. This is also the reason why black monitors only bear the TCO 95 marking even though their white cousins are awarded TCO 99.	Silver
Display
Monitor Type	PC Monitor
Screen type The most common types of screen today are picture tubes. However, flat screens are becoming increasingly popular. The advantage of a flat screen is that it takes less room on the desk, transmits less radiation and is energy-saving.	Flat-panel (TFT)
Screen size The size of the screen indicates the picture surface area. Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner.	17 inch
Widescreen	No
Resolution
Full HD	No
Dot pitch This is the distance between two dots of the same colour. This is generally measured diagonally, but for aperture grille monitors it is sometimes measured horizontally.	0.26 mm
Maximum resolution Indicates the maximum resolution the screen can display. The resolution is stated in pixels.	1280x1024
Frequency at max. resolution The number of times an image is displayed in one second is called the refresh rate. It is expressed in Hertz (Hz), so a monitor with a refresh rate of 75 Hz "rewrites" the same image 75 times a second. Note that this rate of 75 Hz is not random, because it is the requisite minimum for a good image with no flickering.	60 Hz
Bandwidth
Horizontal frequency The speed that a monitor draws a single scan line, called the "horizontal frequency," is measured in kilohertz (kHz). The process repeats, painting line after line, until the screen is filled.	30-81 kHz
Vertical frequency The speed that a monitor draws an entire screen, called the "vertical refresh rate" or "frequency," is measured in hertz (Hz).	56-76 Hz
TFT specifications
Pixel response time (rise+fall) Pixel response time is as important when choosing a LCD monitor what refresh rate is for CRTs. The response time is the time, which a TFT cell requires to switch on and switch off. For standard office applications a response time of 70 ms (milliseconds) is sufficient, but for multimedia values under 30 ms are required.	5 total, ms
Contrast Contrast is measured as the ratio between the light intensity of the brightest and the darkest point of an image. High contrast values improve readability and ergonomics.	800:1
Brightness Brightness is the emitted luminous power over a specified area. Brightness is another point, on which LCD monitors are superior to CRT devices. Traditional monitors create approximately 80 to 100 cd/m² (candela per meter square). For LCDs, values below 200 cm/m² are not acceptable.	300 (cd/m2)
Horizontal viewing angle The viewing angle is the angle from the centre of the image where you can still see the image. Ergonomic requirements are at least 120 degrees horizontally.	160 degrees
Vertical viewing angle The viewing angle is the angle from the centre of the image where you can still see the image. Ergonomic requirements are at least 90 degrees vertically.	160 degrees
Connections
DVI/VGA Input DVI is a digital connection type for digitally transferring pictures. VGA refers to an older analogue connection and is today (2007) the lowest common base for most, if not all, graphic cards.	DVI/VGA
HDMI	None
Number of Inputs	Dual
Video connections The standard analogue connector is called D-sub (HD-15). There are also different digital connectors, DVI-I and DVI-D. DVII can be used for both analogue and digital signals, while DVI-D is digital only with a higher data transfer rate.	D-sub, DVI-D
Hub Function	4xUSB
Measures
Dimensions (including stand, WxHxD)	37.2x46.3x18.2 cm
