Specify the number of blocks that will be displayed on the screen when Uniformity calibration is carried out. A greater number of blocks will increase the precision of uniformity calibration.

Select Only Brightness to perform calibration only for the brightness. Select

Brightness + Color to perform calibration for both the brightness and colors. If you select Brightness + Color, the color temperature uniformity will also increase from calibration.

Specify the color temperature when performing calibration. To obtain a more accurate color temperature, performing Uniformity calibration before color calibration is recommended.

• To use the MHL function, the latest version of software must be installed on the mobile device.

• On some mobile devices, the MHL function may not be available depending on the device performance or functionality.

• Since the display size of the product is larger than those of mobile devices, the picture quality may degrade.

• This product is officially MHL-certified. In the event of a problem with a mobile device connection, contact the mobile device manufacturer.

• The picture quality may degrade when content (imported from the mobile device) with a low resolution is displayed on the product.

HDMI IN

(MHL)

1. Connect the HDMI IN(MHL) port on the product to the Micro USB port on the mobile device using the mobile cable.

2. Connect the DC power adapter to the product and a power socket.

3. After the power is connected, the product will automatically detect and change the input source.

* If the input source is not set to HDMI/MHL , press the [ ] button to change the input source.

* If the screen is blank in HDMI/MHL mode, power the product off and then on again.

NOTE

If the mobile cable is disconnected, HDMI/MHL mode will still be enabled.

NOTE

The indicated time “after 3 seconds” may vary depending on the mobile device.

When the mobile device is in power-saving mode

If the mobile device is in power-saving mode, deactivate the power-saving mode. The MHL screen will appear normally.

When the mobile device is not connected or does not support MHL

If MHL mode does not activate, check the connection of the mobile device.

If MHL mode does not activate, check if the mobile device supports MHL.

If MHL mode does not activate even though the mobile device supports MHL, update the firmware on the device to the latest version.

The power consumption level can vary in different operating conditions or when settings are changed.

To reduce the power consumption to 0 watts, turn off the power switch on the back of the product or disconnect the power cable. Be sure to disconnect the power cable when you will not be using the product for an extended period of time. To reduce the power consumption to 0 watts when the power switch is not available, disconnect the power cable.

Preset Timing Modes

This product can be set to only one resolution for each screen size to obtain the optimum picture quality due to the nature of the panel. Therefore, a resolution other than the specified resolution may degrade the picture quality. To avoid this, it is recommended that you select the optimum resolution specified for the screen size of your product.

If a signal that belongs to the following standard signal modes is transmitted from your PC, the screen will automatically be adjusted. If the signal transmitted from the PC does not belong to the standard signal modes, the screen may be blank even though the power LED turns on. In such a case, change the settings according to the following table by referring to the graphics card user manual.

Horizontal Frequency

The time required to scan a single line from the left to the right side of the screen is called a horizontal cycle. The reciprocal number of a horizontal cycle is called horizontal frequency.

Horizontal frequency is measured in kHz.

Vertical Frequency

Repeating the same picture dozens of times per second allows you to view natural pictures.

The repeat frequency is called "vertical frequency" or "refresh rate" and is indicated in Hz.

67

Terminology

OSD(On Screen Display)

On screen display (OSD) allows you to customize on-screen settings to optimize the picture quality as required. You can change the screen brightness, tint, size and many other settings using menus displayed on the screen.

Gamma

The Gamma menu adjusts the grey scale that represents middle tones on the screen.

Adjusting the brightness brightens the whole screen, but adjusting Gamma only brightens the medium brightness.

Grey scale

Scale refers to levels of color intensity that show variations of color change from darker areas to brighter areas on the screen. Changes to the screen brightness are expressed with black and white variation, and grey scale refers to the medium area between black and white.

Changing the grey scale through Gamma adjustment will change the medium brightness on the screen.

Scanning rate

Scanning rate, or refresh rate, refers to the frequency of screen refreshes. Screen data is transmitted as it refreshes to display an image, although the refreshing is invisible to the naked eye. The number of screen refreshes is called scanning rate and is measured in Hz.

A scanning rate of 60Hz means that the screen refreshes 60 times per second. The screen scanning rate depends on the performance of the graphics cards in your PC and monitor.

Horizontal Frequency

Characters or images displayed on the monitor screen consist of numerous dots (pixels).

Pixels are transmitted in horizontal lines, which are then arranged vertically to create an image. The horizontal frequency is measured in kHz and represents how many times horizontal lines per second are transmitted and displayed on the monitor screen. A horizontal frequency of 85 means that the horizontal lines that make up an image are transmitted 85000 times per second. The horizontal frequency is indicated in 85kHz.

Vertical Frequency

One image is made of numerous horizontal lines. The vertical frequency is measured in Hz and represents how many images can be created per second by those horizontal lines. A vertical frequency of 60 means that an image is transmitted 60 times per second. The vertical frequency is also called “refresh rate” and affects screen flicker.

Resolution

Resolution is the number of horizontal pixels and vertical pixels that form a screen. It represents the level of display detail. A higher resolution displays a greater amount of information on the screen and is suitable for performing multiple tasks at the same time. E.g.

A resolution of 1920 x 1080 consists of 1920 horizontal pixels (horizontal resolution) and 1080 vertical lines (vertical resolution).

Plug & Play

The Plug & Play feature allows the automatic exchange of information between a monitor and

PC to produce an optimum display environment. The monitor uses VESA DDC (international standard) to execute Plug & Play.

MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link)

The MHL feature allows you to view videos and photos (saved on a connected mobile device that supports MHL) using the product screen.
