Two versions of this monitor are currently available. There are only some minor differences between the two types. In this document they are referred to as Type 1 and Type 2 where applicable.

Performance

The A720 17" monitor features maximum resolutions of 1280 pixels (horizontal) and 1024 lines (vertical) in non-interlaced or interlaced modes. The monitor automatically adapts to the vertical and horizontal frequencies of VGA, SVGA, 8514/A and compatible graphics adapters.

Plug & Play compatibility

The monitor's design allows you to use it with a variety of graphics adapters and supports DDC1/2B plug and play. When using Windows with a Packard Bell DDC1/2B compatible computer, the DDC1/2B feature in the monitor provides a standard means of communication between the monitor and the computer. As a result, DDC1/2B prevents the user from making incorrect display settings to ensure that there is an appropriate display on the monitor.

Power management

When used with a Packard Bell computer that features a power management system, the monitor's power consumption will automatically be reduced by the PC when the computer has not been used for a period of time. This monitor has a three level power-saving feature indicated by the changing colour of the power LED on the front panel.

When the power saving feature is initiated, the LED will change from green to amber and the monitor's power consumption will be reduced from approximately 100 watts to less than 15 Watts or 8 Watts (Type 1) in two stages. There will be no image on the monitor when power management is working. To display the image again, move the mouse or press a key on the keyboard. It may take up to 10 seconds for the image to reappear. This power-saving feature exceeds the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Energy Star requirements for Display Power Management Signals.

Monitor Speakers

Attaching the Diamond Audio Technology speakers to the monitor itself provides an optional, attractive and convenient way to house your speakers. After attaching the Diamond Audio Technology speakers to the monitor, connect the plug-end of the audio input jack to the sound card connection on the rear side of the computer.

Tilt and swivel operations

Swivel movement has a range of 135¦ (Type 1) or 100 (Type 2) right or left of the centre position. Tilt movements are limited to angles of -5¦ forward and +15¦ (Type 1) or +12¦ (Type 2) backward. These ranges allow you to set the screen to the viewing position most comfortable for you.
