Section 1 INTRODUCTION About LCD Monitors 1.1 What you gain by using an LCD monitor in your industrial controls LCDs are the future of display technology. CRTs although they have dropped in cost significantly, do not offer the performance, reliability, and mounting options available with LCDs. LCD monitors consist primarily of an LCD, Video Board and a Back Light video. The LCD determines to a large extent the viewing angle, brightness and contrast.
1.2 Product Safety Precautions Ensure that sufficient space is available around the display to provide the circulation necessary for cooling. Ensure that the ambient air temperature will not exceed the specified maximum temperature. Do not attempt to service this display yourself. The rear chassis has a seal so that non qualified personal will not expose themselves to dangerous voltages or other risks.
