Planar VS15XAD VitalScreen Medical Grade 
Monitor Family 
The Planar VS15XAD VitalScreen Medical Grade Monitor family is a set of 
high-resolution color monitors designed to be versatile and easy to use. These 
monitors can accept either analog or digital video input and display most video 
standards from 640 x 480 (Video Graphics Array, or VGA, standard) to 
1024 x 768 (Extended Graphics Array, or XGA, standard). The controls located 
on the front panel allow you to easily adjust the monitor’s display parameters 
using on-screen display (OSD) menus.  
The monitor’s video input is a single-link, transition minimized differential 
signaling (TMDS) digital visual interface (DVI) and is compliant with the 
Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) DVI standard. This interface produces 
the sharpest display image possible with little need for adjustment. Setup is 
simple: just plug in the monitor and use. 
The monitor uses a mounting plate that conforms to the Video Electronics 
Standards Association (VESA) mounting standard
1
. That configuration allows 
the monitor to be mounted in a variety of ways, such as on a wall bracket or 
swing arm. An alternate configuration with a desk stand is also available for easy 
use on flat work surfaces. 
The architecture of the Planar VS15XAD VitalScreen Medical Grade Monitor 
incorporates an active matrix liquid-crystal display (AMLCD) panel that 
produces a clear display with low radiation emission, greatly reducing the 
radiation-related health concerns associated with cathode-ray tube monitors.

 The VESA Flat Panel Monitor Physical Mounting Interface (FPMPMI) Standard defines 
physical mounting interfaces for flat panel monitors, corresponding standards for flat 
panel monitor mounting devices and associated cable, cable connectors and power supply 
location guidelines. For more information, see
