Adjusting the Monitor 

Picture Optimisation 

The easiest way to obtain an optimal picture is by using the 

Auto

 button. This 

only works reliably if the graphics adaptor is set to use one of the monitor’s 
factory modes (see 

Table 1 

in the previous chapter) and if you are displaying a 

suitable stationary image (such as the windows desktop).  
 
The monitor will remember the settings obtained by the auto calibration 
settings and use them whenever you turn the monitor on. Note that you may 
need to readjust the monitor if it is connected to a different computer or if the 
computer’s graphics adaptor is replaced. 

If you are still not satisfied with the result, you can enhance the image by using 
the monitor’s manual adjustment functions. 

 

 

Manual Picture Adjustment 

Adjustments to the displayed image and audio volume are made using the 
On-Screen Display (OSD), and the buttons on the front of the monitor.
