A colour monitor of the liquid crystal display (LCD) type with a diagonal measurement of the screen of approximately 48 cm (19 inches) with dimensions of approximately 46 × 37 × 21 cm with:

—

a native resolution of 1 440  × 900 pixels,

—

supported resolutions of 640 × 480, 800 × 600, 1 024  × 768 and 1 280  × 1 024 pixels,

—

an aspect ratio of 16:10,

—

a pixel pitch of 0,285 mm,

—

a brightness of 300 cd/m 2 ,

—

a contrast ratio of 500:1,

—

a response time of 8 ms,

—

two loudspeakers,

—

power and control buttons.

It is equipped with the following interfaces:

—

a DVI-D,

—

two VGA.

It has a stand with a tilt mechanism.

The monitor is presented for use with automatic data-processing (ADP) machines.

8528 51 00

Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, and by the wording of CN codes 8528 and 8528 51 00 .

Given the objective characteristics of the product, such as the resolution, the supported resolutions, the aspect ratio, the pixel pitch suitable for prolonged close viewing, the brightness, the interfaces commonly used in ADP systems and the presence of tilt mechanisms, the intended use is that of a monitor of a kind solely or principally used in an ADP system of heading 8471 .

The monitor is therefore to be classified under CN code 8528 51 00 as other monitors of a kind solely or principally used in an automatic data-processing system of heading 8471 .
