Back to topDescription VESA high refresh video signal timings
The ThinkVision L171p LCD monitor supports a wide range of display modes, including a selection ofthe VESA timings of incoming video signals at up to 75 Hz (non-interlaced) for the following screenresolutions:- Thinkvision Monitor Manual
Appropriate video-adapter hardware and software must be installed in the attaching system unit.VESA Display Data Channel (DDC)
The ThinkVision L171p LCD monitor supports the DDC protocol to level Command Interface (CI). Basicconfiguration information can be passed to a system unit from its attached monitor. Often referredto as Plug and Play, the protocol enables a DDC-enabled system unit to automatically configure thevideo adapter to drive the attached monitor at its optimum display mode without end-userintervention. For best use, the attaching system unit must also be hardware- and software-enabledfor DDC operation.The capabilities of the monitor are held in nonvolatile monitor memory in an encoded format. Thedata is received from the monitor by the system unit during boot-up and system configuration.The EDID data sent by the monitor to the attached system unit also includes the monitor's serialnumber and other identification information. This can be held in the system unit until requested;for example, by a department LAN administrator needing to assess the location of all equipmentconnected to the LAN.Date information transmitted in the monitor EDID data conforms to VESA EDID standard V2. Thisrequires the year of manufacture (YOM) to be stored in a one-byte field as an offset from 1990 asderived from the following equation:An international industrial standard by the name of DDC/CI was developed by VESA to expand upon anexisting DDC standard. This new standard adds control functionality without the need for additionalconnections.The main advantage of DDC/CI is its bi-directional communication structure between PC and monitor,which does not require a separate cable. All data are transmitted in both directions via the videographics card and the standard VGA or DVI signal cable. This capability allows for functions likemonitor control, adjustments, and diagnostics to be conducted via software using the mouse andkeyboard. In an enterprise or firm, this capability also allows the potential of remote diagnosticsand asset management by a technician via the LAN. Customer-supplied software is needed to implementthese functions.International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/DIS 13406 Part 2
ISO/DIS 13406 Part 2 ensures ergonomic requirements are met when the ThinkVision L171p LCD monitorforms part of an ISO-compliant system. ISO/DIS 13406 Part 2 is an international standard addressingergonomic factors for flat-panel displays.ISO-capable elements do not necessarily make an ISO-compliant system when put together. To satisfythe requirements of ISO 13406 Part 2, a complete platform must be tested and must comply with allapplicable elements of ISO 13406 Part 2. The platform includes:VESA Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS)
The ThinkVision L171p LCD monitor meets ENERGY STAR power consumption requirements throughimplementation of the DPMS protocol. For effective power management, the attaching system unit mustalso be hardware- and software-enabled for DPMS operation.HelpWare®
HelpWare is a comprehensive set of service and support offerings for a more productive and enjoyablecomputing experience. Many HelpWare services are included with the purchase of your Lenovo™system, and additional services are available from the HelpWare support family.Technical characteristics
OSD controls
Digital user controls are located on the front bezel, to the left of the power on/off pushbutton.Adjustments are made in conjunction with the on-screen displays. After adjustments are made, withexception of brightness, contrast, and auto adjust, the controls can be locked to prevent furtherchanges. User setup values are stored automatically. For ease of use, there is direct access forauto setup and brightness.Monitor controls and features include: - Image setup:

The ThinkVision® L171p LCD monitor is intended to operate with system units or video adapters thatgenerate a video output signal falling within the ThinkVision L171p specification:The ThinkVision L171p supports VESA Standard Timings as detailed in 'Display Monitor TimingSpecification,' Version 1.0, Revision 0.8, dated September 17, 1998, for the following modes:- Ibm Thinkvision Monitor 15 Inch
- Microsoft Windows 2000
- Microsoft Windows XP
- Supported display modes are a function of the attaching system unit and video subsystem. The fullrange of display modes available with these monitors may not be available or supported with allcombinations of system units, their operating systems, video adapter cards, and applicationsoftware.
- Horizontal- and vertical-synchronization signal timings are critical in order to achieve acceptablescreen images. As a consequence, support for all possible variations in H- and V-sync timings forany display mode cannot be assumed.
- Adjustment of the user controls to enlarge the image to its maximum size requires that the signaltimings of the display mode being used fall within the monitor-timing specifications.
- The number of colors shown in any display mode will exceed 16 million and dependent on thecapabilities of the video adapter in the system unit.
- The ThinkVision L171p provides FCC class B — residential installation — compliance in alldisplay modes.
- Implementation of monitor power management follows the VESA DPMS standard. This standard must alsobe implemented in the attaching system unit hardware and software for monitor power management to beeffective. The system implementation must provide user-adjustable, power-down delay periods. Themonitor power management function is invoked only after appropriate signals are received from anattached system unit or video adapter.
- Implementation of monitor Plug and Play follows the VESA DDC standard. This standard must also beimplemented in the attaching system unit hardware and software for monitor Plug and Play to beeffective.
- Certain functions require the system unit to be similarly configured, so all monitor functions maynot be enabled when attached to a particular system unit.
- A 17.0-inch TFT monitor has nearly 4.0 million subpixel transistors laid over an area exceeding 140square inches. Cost-effective manufacturing processes introduce a small number of defective subpixeltransistors. The L171p meets the ISO 13406-2 Class 2 Pixel Defect Standard.
