Colour monitor B15-1 VESA-DDC-compatible VGA interface Your monitor is equipped with a VESA-DDC-compatible VGA interface. VESA-DDC (Video Electronics Standard Association, Display Data Channel) is used as the communications interface between the monitor and the computer. If your computer is equipped with a VESA-DDC-compatible VGA interface, it can automatically read the data for ensuring optimum operation from your monitor and select the appropriate settings.

Colour monitor B15-1 Permanently unlit or lit pixels The standard of production techniques today cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen display. A few isolated constant lit or unlit pixels may be present. The maximum permitted number of pixels faults is stipulated in the stringent international standard ISO 13406-2 (Class II). Example: a 15" flat-screen monitor with a resolution of 1024 x 768 has 1024 x 768 = 786432 pixels.
