  RGB Bias and Gain 

 

Select this submenu to fine-tune the monitor’s color balance (R, G, B). This should only be done by someone 
experienced with video engineering, as this will alter the overall color shading of the screen. The purpose is to allow 
color matching to other types of monitors and/or displays. Note: The Color Temperature preset will automatically 
switch to USER when Color Bias settings are adjusted. It is normal for color bias adjustments to be very subtle. 

 

When selecting the RGB Bias and Gain submenu, gain adjustment indicators will appear at the top of the screen, and 
bias adjustment indicators will appear at the bottom of the screen: 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Use the 

 and 

 buttons to select each individual bias or gain control. Press SELECT to begin adjusting the control. Use 

the 

 and 

 buttons to increase or decrease the value. 

 
Alternately, the image adjustment knobs (Brightness, Color, Tint, Contrast) can be used to easily adjust the bias and gain 
settings as shown below. The knobs affect whichever row of controls (gain or bias) is currently selected. 
 
Note: RGB Gain and Bias is disabled when Color Temperature is set to Linear. 
 

  Check Field 

 

Use the check field modes for monitor calibration or to analyze individual color components of an image. In 
Monochrome mode, all color is disabled and only a grayscale image is shown. In Blue, Green, and Red check field 
modes, only the selected color will be shown. 

  

  Ratio (Aspect Ratio Settings) 

 
 

Use to switch between Full Screen, 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios. 

 

As the V-MD171X monitor has a native resolution of 1920 x 1200 RGB pixels, incoming images are automatically 
scaled to fit the screen: 
 
• 

In Full Screen, images are scaled to fill the entire screen. 

 

• 

In 4:3 mode, images are scaled to fill the maximum 4:3 portion of the screen, with black bars filling the remainder 
of the screen edges. 

 

• 

In 16:9 mode, images are scaled to fill the maximum 16:9 portion of the screen (1920 x1080), with black bars 
filling the remainder of the screen.
