Planar VS15XAD VitalScreen Medical Grade
Monitor Family
The Planar VS15XAD VitalScreen Medical Grade Monitor family is a set of
high-resolution color monitors designed to be versatile and easy to use. These
monitors can accept either analog or digital video input and display most video
standards from 640 x 480 (Video Graphics Array, or VGA, standard) to
1024 x 768 (Extended Graphics Array, or XGA, standard). The controls located
on the front panel allow you to easily adjust the monitor’s display parameters
using on-screen display (OSD) menus.
The monitor’s video input is a single-link, transition minimized differential
signaling (TMDS) digital visual interface (DVI) and is compliant with the
Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) DVI standard. This interface produces
the sharpest display image possible with little need for adjustment. Setup is
simple: just plug in the monitor and use.
The monitor uses a mounting plate that conforms to the Video Electronics
Standards Association (VESA) mounting standard
1
. That configuration allows
the monitor to be mounted in a variety of ways, such as on a wall bracket or
swing arm. An alternate configuration with a desk stand is also available for easy
use on flat work surfaces.
The architecture of the Planar VS15XAD VitalScreen Medical Grade Monitor
incorporates an active matrix liquid-crystal display (AMLCD) panel that
produces a clear display with low radiation emission, greatly reducing the
radiation-related health concerns associated with cathode-ray tube monitors.

The VESA Flat Panel Monitor Physical Mounting Interface (FPMPMI) Standard defines
physical mounting interfaces for flat panel monitors, corresponding standards for flat
panel monitor mounting devices and associated cable, cable connectors and power supply
location guidelines. For more information, see http://www.vesa.org/
