Description

VESA high-refresh video signal timings

The Lenovo ThinkVision L171 LCD monitor supports a wide range of display modes, including aselection of the VESA timings of incoming video signals at up to 75 Hz (non-interlaced) for thefollowing screen resolutions:

640 x 480
800 x 600
1024 x 768
1280 x 1024

Appropriate video-adapter hardware and software must be installed in the attaching system unit.

VESA Display Data Channel/Command Interface (DDC/CI)

The Lenovo ThinkVision L171 LCD monitor supports the DDC protocol to level CI. Basic configurationinformation can be passed to a system unit from its attached monitor. Often referred to as Plug andPlay, the protocol enables a DDC-enabled system unit to automatically configure the video adapter todrive the attached monitor at its optimum display mode without user intervention. For best use, theattaching system unit must also be hardware- and software-enabled for DDC operation.

The capabilities of the monitor are held in nonvolatile monitor memory in an encoded format. Thedata is received from the monitor by the system unit during boot-up and system configuration.

The EDID data sent by the monitor to the attached system unit also includes the monitor's serialnumber and other identification information. This can be held in the system unit until requested;for example, by a department local area network (LAN) administrator needing to assess the locationof all equipment connected to the LAN.

Date information transmitted in the monitor EDID data conforms to VESA EDID standard V2. Thisrequires the year of manufacture (YOM) to be stored in a one-byte field as an offset from 1990 asderived from the following equation:

An international industrial standard by the name of DDC/CI was developed by VESA to expand upon anexisting DDC standard. This new standard adds control functionality without the need for additionalconnections.

The main advantage of DDC/CI is its bi-directional communication structure between the PC andmonitor, which does not require a separate cable. All data is transmitted in both directions viathe video graphics card and the standard VGA or DVI signal cable. This capability allows forfunctions like monitor control, adjustments, and diagnostics to be conducted via software using themouse and keyboard. In an enterprise or firm, this capability also allows the potential of remotediagnostics and asset management by a technician via the LAN. Customer-supplied software is neededto implement these functions.

International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/DIS 13406 Part 2

ISO/DIS 13406 Part 2 ensures ergonomic requirements are met when the Lenovo ThinkVision L171 LCDmonitor forms part of an ISO-compliant system. ISO/DIS 13406 Part 2 is an international standardaddressing ergonomic factors for flat-panel displays.

ISO-capable elements do not necessarily make an ISO-compliant system when put together. To satisfythe requirements of ISO 13406 Part 2, a complete platform must be tested and must comply with allapplicable elements of ISO 13406 Part 2. The platform includes:

System unit
Operating system
Fonts
Video subsystem
Monitor
Keyboard
Mouse

When all contributing platform components satisfy their portion of the requirements, as verified bythe required total system testing, the platform is ISO 13406 Part 2-compliant.

Low-frequency electromagnetic emissions

The Lenovo ThinkVision L171 LCD monitor meets the Swedish Board for Technical Accreditation (SWEDAC)MPR-2 requirements and those of MPR-3. MPR-2 is a guideline developed by the SWEDAC to limit theelectromagnetic emissions and electrostatic fields generated by workstations. MPR-3 is thecolloquial name for the Swedish Standard SS 43614 90:1995.

Electric and magnetic fields with frequencies between 5 Hz and 2 kHz are called extremelylow-frequency (ELF) fields. Those with frequencies between 2 kHz and 400 kHz are called verylow-frequency (VLF) fields.

The Swedish MPR-3 Standard is intended to limit these fields. Sources of these fields include thepower cord supplying 50 or 60 Hz power to the monitor.

- 640 x 350 at 70 Hz
- 720 x 400 at 70 Hz
- 1280 x 1024 at 76 Hz
Software requirements
The Lenovo ThinkVision L171 monitor features factory-preset display modes. The actual display modesused depend on the attaching system unit, the operating system, and application software.
- User modes: 20
The factory-preset modes cannot be overwritten, but can be adjusted to personal choice. The newsettings are stored automatically in one of the user locations and are recalled each time that modeis used. The factory settings for the mode in use, if any, can be restored by operating the resetcontrol.
Information about the current incoming display mode is shown in the on-screen displays. However, itis displayed at the LCD panel's optimum refresh rate of 60 Hz.
It may be necessary to make some adjustments to the displayed image to compensate for variations invideo signal timings. The user controls can be used to make these adjustments.
Compatibility: The Lenovo ThinkVision L171 monitor is supplied with a detachable 1.8-meter (5.9-foot) videosignal cable. This cable has the widely used 15-pin, D-Sub video connector for system unitconnection.
This monitor has been tested with ThinkCentre^® and Lenovo 3000 systems and is compatible withsystems and graphics adapters which comply with the relevant parts of 'VESA and industry standardsand guidelines for computer display monitor timing' Version 1.0 Revision 0.8, adopted September 17,1998. Supported display modes and number of colors are a function of the attaching system unit.The full range of display modes, refresh rates, and number of colors available with this monitor maynot be available or supported with all combinations of system units, their operating systems, andapplication software. Implementation of monitor Plug and Play follows the VESA DDC standard. Thisstandard must also be implemented in the attaching system unit hardware and software to beeffective.
Plug and Play is a registered mark of Microsoft.
Limitations
- Not all supported display modes run at the high refresh rates necessary for flicker-freeperformance. Display modes at lower refresh rates are available for compatibility with older videoadapters and system units and will not be ISO-compliant.
- Supported display modes are a function of the attaching system unit and video subsystem. The fullrange of display modes available with these monitors may not be available or supported with allcombinations of system units, their operating systems, video adapter cards, and applicationsoftware.
- Horizontal- and vertical-synchronization signal timings are critical in order to achieve acceptablescreen images. As a consequence, support for all possible variations in H- and V-sync timings forany display mode cannot be assumed.
- Adjustment of the user controls to enlarge the image to its maximum size requires that the signaltimings of the display mode being used fall within the monitor-timing specifications.
- The number of colors shown in any display mode will exceed 16 million and is dependent on thecapabilities of the video adapter in the system unit.
- The Lenovo ThinkVision L171 provides FCC class B — residential installation — compliance in alldisplay modes.
- Implementation of monitor power management follows the VESA DPMS standard. This standard must alsobe implemented in the attaching system unit hardware and software for monitor power management to beeffective. The system implementation must provide user-adjustable, power-down delay periods. Themonitor power management function is invoked only after appropriate signals are received from anattached system unit or video adapter.
- Implementation of monitor Plug and Play follows the VESA DDC standard. This standard must also beimplemented in the attaching system unit hardware and software for monitor Plug and Play to beeffective.
- Certain functions require the system unit to be similarly configured, so all monitor functions maynot be enabled when attached to a particular system unit.
- A 17.0-inch (432.0 mm) TFT monitor has nearly 4.0 million subpixel transistors laid over an areaexceeding 141 square inches. Cost-effective manufacturing processes introduce a small number ofdefective subpixel transistors. The Lenovo ThinkVision L171 meets the ISO 13406-2 Class II PixelDefect Standard.
- Use of 50% gray background is not recommended since some users may see undesirable FOS effects.
- The Auto-Setup 'test pattern' can be used with Microsoft Windows 3.1, Windows NT™ 3.5, Windows NT4.0, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, and DOS 7.0 only.
