SCREEN ADJUSTMENTS

Adjust the image by following the procedure below to get the desired picture when selecting Analog input.

The screen adjustments described in this manual are designed to set image position and minimize fl icker or blur for the particular computer in use.

The monitor is designed to provide the best performance at resolution of 1680 × 1050, but can not provide the best at resolutions of less than 1680 × 1050 because the picture is automatically stretched to fi t the full screen. It is recommended to operate at resolution of 1680 × 1050 in normal use.

Displayed text or lines will be blurred or irregular in thickness when the picture is stretched due to the screen enlargement process.

It is preferable to adjust the image position and frequency with the monitor controls, rather than the computer software or utilities.

Perform adjustments after a warm-up period of at least thirty minutes.

Additional adjustments may be required after the Auto Adjust depending on the resolution or signal timing.

The Auto Adjust may not work correctly when displaying the picture other than the screen adjustment pattern. In this case, manual adjustments are required.

There are two ways to adjust the screen. One way is automatic adjustment for Position, Clock and

Phase. The other way is performing each adjustment manually.

Perform the Auto Adjust first when the monitor is connected to a new computer, or resolution is changed. If the screen has a flicker or blur, or the picture does not fit in the display area after performing the Auto Adjust, manual adjustments are required. Both adjustments should be made by using the screen adjustment pattern (Test.bmp) obtained via the IIYAMA web site (http://www.iiyama.

com).

Adjust the image by following the procedure below to get the desired picture.

This manual explains adjustment under Windows 95/98/2000/Me/XP/Vista.

A Display the picture at the optimum resolution.

B Enter the Test.bmp (screen adjustment pattern) to wallpaper.

NOTE Consult the appropriate documentation for doing this.

Test.bmp is made at resolution of 1280 × 1024. Set the display position to center in the wallpaper setting dialogue box. If you use Microsoft ® PLUS! 95/98 cancel the setting of

“Stretch desktop wallpaper to fi t the screen”.

C Press the Auto Button. (Auto Adjust)

D Adjust the image manually by following procedure below when the screen has a fl icker or blur, or the picture does not fi t in the display area after performing the Auto Adjust.

E Adjust the V.Position so that the top and bottom of the picture frame will fi t to the display area.

F 1) Adjust the H.Position so that the left side of the picture frame will move to the left edge of the display area.

2) Stretch the right side of the picture frame to the right edge of the display area by adjusting the Clock.

NOTE

When the left side of the picture frame moves apart from the left edge of the display area during the Clock adjustment, adjust steps 1) and 2).

Another way to make the Clock adjustment is to correct the vertical wavy lines in the zebra pattern.

The picture may fl icker during the Clock, H.Position and V.Position adjustment.

In case the picture frame is bigger or smaller than the data display area after the Clock adjustment, repeat steps from C .

17 OPERATING THE MONITOR

G Adjust the Phase to correct horizontal wavy noise, fl icker or blur in the zebra pattern.

NOTE In case the strong fl icker or blurs remain on a part of the screen, repeat steps F and

G because the Clock may not be adjusted correctly. If the fl icker or blurs still remain, set the refresh rate of computer to low (60Hz) and repeat steps from C again.

Adjust the H.Position after the Phase adjustment if the horizontal position moves during the adjustment.

H Adjust the Brightness and Color to get the desired picture after you complete the Clock and

Phase adjustments.
