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 mode for this monitor is:

VESA 1280 x 1024 @ 75Hz.

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

Beginning with the Main Menu shown below, you will use the buttons on the

front control panel to display and adjust the OnView®controls which display on

the screen. The OnView controls are explained in the x steps at the top of the

next page and are further explained 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 mon-

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

tor on and off repeatedly. To manually degauss the monitor, see the instructions on page 10.
