The screen is a very delicate area and should only be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. We advise against rubbing too hard or using solvent cleaners as they may cause damage to the coating applied to the screen surfaces.
DVI (Digital Video Interface) is a digital interface between the monitor and graphics card. The advantage over traditional D-Sub (VGA) inputs is that DVI does not need to convert a digital signal from a graphics card into an analogue signal that the display can understand. So there is no degradation of the signal as a conversion does not need to take place, resulting in a purer signal and improved image quality. DVI offers variants to suit your needs: DVI-I this is a 29pin connector that will accept both digital and analogue signal inputs. DVI-D this is a 24pin connector that can only accept a digital video input.
TCO is a standard governing Total Cost of Ownership that encompasses Ergonomics, Emissions, Energy and Ecology. Contrary to CRT displays, LCD products assume the ergonomic properties of TCO in the design and construction already.
