and require expensive corrections. Next, having monitor configuration under software control means that end-user software applications can set up the best possible display modes for their screens without having to reboot the PC to a known state. And, lastly, poorly configured monitors can cause unnecessary user eyestrain. Overall, DDC/CI's main advantage is its ability to provide the user with increased control over monitor settings (brightness, contrast, color setting, advanced geometry, etc.) from the local system. This capability allows for smarter software that can automatically adjust the monitor to the correct color environment. It also enables access to built-in monitor diagnostics, allowing the system to check the "Overall, DDC/CI's main advantage is its ability to provide the user with increased monitor's condition (total hours running, error condition control over monitor settings." reporting, etc.), record it and send it back to the manufacturer, thereby reducing the amount of service calls. DDC/CI also provides a better user interface for controls using test patterns and adjustment previews. Utilizing DDC/CI through Naviset NEC-Mitsubishi Electronics Display has actively worked with Microsoft to make DDC/CI a standard feature of all video add-in cards and chipsets. Another issue has been the desire to control monitor settings and diagnostics not only from a local system but remotely commanded over an existing network (LAN). Efforts to achieve this led to NEC-Mitsubishi's development of NaViSet software, which was introduced in 2001 with the company's line of NEC MultiSync FE+ Series CRT monitors. NaViSet interactive display-system control software provides direct access to all monitor setting controls via a user-friendly, ergonomic and intuitive interface. The software is available in two versions: NaViSet and NaViSet Administrator. NaViSet is aimed at general end-users and those in companies for whom simple and convenient monitor setting is an important factor. The NaViSet Administrator version, containing extensive network capability, enables all important functions to be comprehensively controlled via the LAN and has been developed especially for IT managers and network administrators. These NaViSet applications will only work with select NEC and Mitsubishi monitors. It can be difficult for a user to struggle through the On Screen Manager(OSM) menu and to understand some of the highly technical functions available. Thanks to its intuitive interface, NaViSet creates a bridge so that even the most obscure monitor functions can be found and used "NaViSet interactive displaysystem control software provides direct access to all correctly. It is this point that demonstrates one of the key benefits of this software: the user should not have to learn a new OSM every time he is working with a new monitor or at a different workstation. Rather, the user should just be able to concentrate on his actual monitor setting controls via a work. With NaViSet, matters are greatly simplified and users have the user-friendly, ergonomic and intuitive interface." same familiar and easy-to-use software interface available to them with different monitors and in different environments. This can be important in the financial sector, technical design or desktop publishing. This is particularly helpful at a time when new models and technologies are continuously coming into the market. Furthermore, as NaViSet software can equally be implemented for both LCDs and CRTs, it can continue to be used even when changing monitor technologies. The software itself consists of an installation program and a driver for the local workstation that augments the Windows display-control window. The installation program first automatically carries out a compatibility check and confirms the DDC/CI compatibility of the graphics card, from which the respective monitor can then be detected. NaViSet is then displayed as an additional tab with the name "Monitor settings" in the "Extended display properties" dialogue window. The functions that are available after installation for software control via DDC/CI are numerous, varied and serve even the most demanding user: · Both the brightness and the contrast can be adjusted or, if desired, can be reset to the factory setting. · With the color values, both the color temperature and the RGB values can be changed individually.
