-. Displaying Screen Correctly (Analog Input Only)

Note

 Allow the LCD monitor to stabilize for at least 30 minutes before making image adjustments.

The monitor displays the digital input image correctly based on its pre-setting data.

The monitor screen adjustment is used to suppress flickering of the screen or adjust screen position and 
screen size correctly according to the PC to be used. 
To use the monitor comfortably, adjust the screen when the monitor is set up for the first time or when 
the settings of the PC in use are updated. 

Adjustment Procedure

for example) or when a black background (wallpaper, etc.) is in use.

 It cannot work correctly using with some graphics cards.
