Auto Adjust

Even though your computer recognizes your monitor on startup, the 

Auto Adjust

 function optimizes the display settings for use with your 

particular setup.

Auto Adjust

 allows the monitor to self-adjust to the incoming video 

signal. After using 

Auto Adjust

, you can further tune your monitor by 

using the 

Pixel Clock

 (Coarse) and 

Phase

 (Fine) controls under 

Display

 

settings.

NOTE: 

In most cases, 

Auto Adjust

 produces the best image for your 

configuration.

NOTE: 

Auto Adjust

 option is only available when you are using the 

analog (VGA) connector.
