G96 19" FST Color Monitor - Product Overview

Applicable to: World-Wide

General Information
The G96 color monitor delivers affordable performance, and ease of use, and offers the following enhancements over the earlier IBM G94 Color Monitor:

• Short-depth CRT
• Smaller footprint
• TCO-99 compliance (6549-0AN)
• Redesigned on-screen displays for simpler operation - includes a choice of five languages

The screen size also makes it suitable for handling more informationintensive applications including:

• Large complex spreadsheets
• Entry desktop publishing
• Software development packages

The new models include both pearl white and stealth black versions. The pearl white model matches IBM pearl white systems color while the stealth black color complements IBM IntelliStation Professional Workstation color.

These new monitors feature a 19-inch FST CRT with a viewable image size of 17.9 inches (454 mm), incorporating a 0.26 dot pitch. A maximum horizontal frequency of 95 kHz provides flicker-free operation at an optimum 1280 x 1024 pels at up to 85 Hz with a maximum addressability of 1600 x 1200 pels.

The new G96 models feature Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) Display Data Channel (DDC) capability for Plug and Play and asset tracking when the attaching system unit's hardware and software is DDC-enabled.

The new model's power management capability meets the power consumption requirements of Swedish National Board for Industrial and Technical Development (NUTEK). As an ENERGY STAR partner, IBM has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency.

The G96 monitor supports the timings for the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) 85 Hz refresh rate display modes for 640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, and 1280 x 1024 addressabilities. Appropriate graphics adapter hardware and software must be installed in the attaching system unit.

All models of the G96 monitor incorporate a universal power supply with mains harmonic reduction (EN 61000-3-2:1995), providing worldwide operating capability. Also, unless stated, all models are TCO-95 compliant.

The G96 monitor provides excellent text and graphics performance. Features of this new monitor include:

• Short-depth CRT, viewable image size of 17.9-in (454 mm)
• Monitor depth is now equivilant to a typical 17-in monitor
• Flicker-free
• Easy-to-use digital user controls
• Windows NT(R) and Windows 98(R) compliant
• Multifrequency operation
• Compliance with ENERGY STAR and NUTEK power consumption guidelines
• VESA DDC Plug and Play for instant and easy setup
• TCO-99 compliance (6549-0AN)
• Universal voltage power supply with mains harmonic reduction
• ISO Standard 9241, Part 3 capability for front-of-screen ergonomics

Hardware Requirements:
The G96 color monitor is designed to operate with system units or graphic adapters that generate a video output signal that falls within the specifications:

• Max addressability (pels) -> 1600 x 1200
• Horizontal frequency (kHz) -> 30 - 95
• Vertical frequency (Hz) -> 50 - 160

Horizontal and vertical sync signal timings are critical in order to achieve acceptable screen images. As a consequence, support for all possible variations in H/V sync timings for any display mode cannot be stated.

National Language Support for Asia Pacific, Canada, Europe/Middle East/Africa, and Latin America is a function of the graphic adapter in the system unit and the application or support software.

Software Requirements:
The G96 color monitor features factory-preset and user-settable display modes. The actual display modes that are used are a function of the attaching system unit, its operating system, and application software.

Factory presets: 12
User locations: 10

Note:

• VESA = Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA)
• Std = VESA Standard
• Gde = VESA Guideline

The factory-preset modes cannot be overwritten, but can be adjusted to personal choice. The new settings are automatically stored in one of the user locations and are recalled each time that mode is used. The factory settings for the mode in use, if any, can be restored by operating the Geometry Reset control.
It may be necessary to make some adjustments to the displayed picture to compensate for variations in video signal timings. The user controls can be used to make these adjustments.

Compatibility:
The monitor is supplied with a attached video signal cable. This cable has the same 15-pin, D-shell video connector for system unit connection as previous IBM monitors. The monitor has been tested for compatibility with the following IBM systems:

Note:

• A signal cable adapter, (96G2693), is required to permit attachment to older non-DDC enabled system units that expect to see ID bits presented on the monitor interface.
• A signal cable adapter, (96G1999), is required to permit attachment to 3483, 3488-V, and 3489 Modular Display Stations.

Supported systems:
No information available

Limitations:

• Not all available display modes run at the high refresh rates necessary for flicker-free performance. Display modes at lower refresh rates are available for compatibility with older graphics adapters and system units.
• Supported display modes are a function of the attaching system unit. The full range of display modes available with these monitors may not be available or supported with all combinations of system units, their operating systems, and application software.
• Horizontal and vertical sync signal timings are critical to achieving acceptable screen images. As a consequence, support for all possible variations in H/V sync timings for any display mode cannot be stated.
• The number of colors shown in any display mode is not limited by the monitor, but depends upon the capabilities of the adapter the monitor is attached to.
• Mains harmonic reduction is only effective during normal operation and not during power management.
• The power management function is invoked only after initiating signals are received from the attached system unit or graphics adapter. The method used to implement power management follows the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) Display Power Management Signalling (DPMS) standard. This standard must also be implemented in the attaching system unit and/or graphics adapter for monitor power management to be effective.
• Implementation of monitor Plug and Play follows the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) Display Data Channel (DDC) standard. This standard must also be implemented in the attaching system unit hardware and software to be effective.
• Not all system units are DDC-enabled. In this situation, the user must configure the system to obtain optimum performance from the system/graphic adapter/monitor combination.

Cable Orders:
A video signal cable is supplied. It is 1.8 meters (6 ft) long with a 15-pin, mini D-shell connector. A separate signal cable adapter (96G2693) is required to provide "1010" ID bits at the monitor interface for those systems that require ID bits.
