Curtain Pattern
The curtain pattern determines what the m70L will show when you press the
CURTAIN
button.
Plug and Play (EDID Enable)
Plug and Play allows the source computer’s video card to query the display and send
the correct resolution. Most video cards work with Planar displays. For the few that
don’t, you may need to turn off Plug and Play and manually specify the video card
settings based on the display’s capabilities.
Preferred Source Detection
Analog computer video cards provide only vertical and horizontal frequencies.
Sometimes, this is not enough information for the display to properly detect the
signal. In certain cases, a display receiving such “ambiguous” signal modes could
misinterpret the resolution to be any of three different modes. For example,
1024 x 768, 1280 x 768, and 1360 x 768 all have the same respective horizontal and
vertical frequencies but represent different aspect ratios, 4 x 3, 15 x 9, and 16 x 9,
respectively. By specifying the correct source detection mode, the display can
correctly interpret the signal and display the incoming image in the proper aspect
ratio. The default preferred source detection is 16 x 9. This is the native aspect ratio of
this display. If you are attempting to display a 4 x 3 signal and it is not working, try
changing the preferred source detection to 4 x 3.
Native Frequency
The m70L display cannot frame lock back and forth between 50 Hz and 60 Hz. This
setting allows you to choose a “native” frequency of either 50 Hz or 60 Hz, whichever
matches the inputs you will be using. Selecting 50 Hz frame locks to 50 Hz and
selecting 60 Hz frame locks to 60 Hz.
Allow Frame Lock
Frame lock causes the display to synchronize its vertical refresh timing with that of
the incoming source. This prevents frame tearing or frame dropping. To frame lock,
the incoming signal must be within the refresh parameters of the display itself, which
is from 49.3 Hz to 64.8 Hz.
