Using the Monitor

Setting the Timing Mode

Setting the timing mode is important for maximizing the quality of the screen

image and minimizing eye strain. The timing mode consists of the resolution

(example 1280 x 1024) and refresh rate (or vertical frequency--example

75 Hz). After setting the timing mode, use the OnView®controls to adjust the

screen image.

The recommended timing modes for this monitor are:

VESA 1280 x 1024 @ 85Hz and VESA 1600 x 1200 @ 85 Hz.

To set the Timing Mode:

1. Set the resolution: Right-click on the Windows®desktop > Properties >

Settings >Desktop Area > set the resolution.

2. Set the refresh rate: See your graphic card's user guide for instructions.

NOTE: To minimize the adjustments required for an optimal screen image,

select a timing mode from the Preset Timing Modes table below.

WARNING: Do NOT set the graphics card in your computer to exceed the

maximum refresh rate for each resolution (see below). Doing so may result in

permanent damage to your monitor.

Adjusting the Screen Image

To adjust the screen image, follow the instructions in steps 1 through 5 below.

You will use the buttons of the Front Control Panel to adjust the OnView®

controls, which are explained in “Main Menu Controls”on page 8.

* The monitor automatically degausses each time you turn it on, removing the buildup of magnetic

fields that can affect color purity and convergence. To prevent possible damage, if you turn the

monitor off, then immediately on again, wait 20 minutes before doing this again. Do not turn the

monitor on and off repeatedly. To manually degauss the monitor, see the instructions on page 11.
