Guidelines for Adjusting the Display
Before You Make Any Adjustments
•
Be sure to set the controls under your normal lighting conditions.
•
Wait for the monitor to warm up for 30 minutes before adjusting
the video display. Most monitors will require at least 30 minutes
to warm up, stabilize completely, and reach their optimal operating
point. Some image characteristics, such as image centering and
black-level, will vary until the monitor warms up.
•
Display a test image or pattern whenever you adjust the video.
The Monitor Adjustment program provides one pattern for clock,
phase, and position adjustments, and another pattern for contrast
and brightness adjustments.
Using the Standard Controls for the Video Card
In addition to the standard controls on the monitor, each video card
has several controls that let you adjust the display settings. The
software and driver for each video card is unique. In most cases, you
adjust these settings by using a program or utility provided by the
manufacturer of the video card.
For example, you can use the Windows Display Properties control
panel to adjust the desktop area (resolution), color depth, and refresh
rate. Whenever you change these settings, the image size, position, or
shape may change. This behavior is normal. You can readjust the
image using the monitor controls described in this chapter.
For more information on adjusting the desktop area (resolution), color
depth, or refresh rate, refer to the user manual that came with your
video card.
