The QES1500 Progressive Series Color Monitor was designed to meet the screen performance requirements of today's demanding industrial applications.
MONITOR SETUP Unlike CRT displays, the LCD panel has a fixed pixel format over a set area. So for best performance, the “native resolution” setting is always recommended. Use the following notes as a reference to setup your display. • For 8.4” and 12.1” monitors: The native resolution of the LCD panel is 800 X 600; Recommended resolution is 800 X 600 @ 60 KHZ • For 14.1” and 15” monitors: The native resolution of the LCD panel is 1024 X 768; Recommended resolution is 1024 X 768.@ 60 KHZ • For 17, 18.

CONTROLS & FUNCTIONS The monitor will enter Auto Setup automatically the first time the unit is first turned on or another format is applied. If for some reason the Auto Setup does not adjust the monitor to your satisfaction, use the OSD (On Screen Display) to adjust the image to your preferences. The OSD is composed of 5 membrane switches (as shown below) and a Bi-color LED. All the adjustments required for the monitor are done through these buttons that interface with the Menu selections on the OSD.

TROUBLESHOOTING LCD Pixel Statement - The LCD unit is produced with high-precision manufacturing techniques. Nevertheless, some pixels may occasionally misfire or appear as black or colored dots. This has no effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a malfunction. Normally, a 17” SXGA (1280 X 1024) display has nearly 4 million sub-pixels. Industry standard specification allows 8 non-performing pixels on the LCD screen, which is only 0.0002% of the total sub-pixels.
Uneven Color / Color Too Dark / Dark Area Distorted / White Color Is Not White Use OSD Color Temperature Menu to adjust color setting. No Sound Check the audio signal cable connection between the computer and LCD monitor. Try pressing the “+MUTE” button to disable the volume Mute function. * Some models do not have speakers (sound) The Display Is Dark / Bright Or Saturated Verify video input levels are appropriate, 0.7VPP for Analog inputs or 5 VPP for TTL input video signal.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS • When cleaning, remove the AC adapter from the LCD display and outlet for safety. • Lightly wipe off dirt on the cabinet and LCD panel surface with a clean lint-free cloth soaked in a neutral cleaning solution. This removes dust and other particles that can scratch the screen. Follow its instruction when using a disposable cloth. • Do not use thinner, benzine, alcohol or such on the plastic cabinet. These can damage the cabinet, alter its quality and cause the paint to peel off.

Universal Video Input Unit Option Dynamic Display’s unique Universal Video Input Option was designed to accept a wide variety of non-standard legacy video timing formats. It converts the signal to a VGA-style video format that is acceptable to most modern LCD displays. The Universal Video unit has a unique sync discriminator circuit that will filter out extraneous sync pulses found in some legacy video signals. The phase lock loop design supplies sync pulses that are missing in other legacy video formats.
