Product Use 

Operating in 2D mode 

Your SD2020 unit can operate 
either as a 3D stereoscopic 
monitor or in the standard 2D 
mode.  There are two options to 
convert to 2D:  

 

Simply turn off the power to 
one monitor.  

 

Lift the mirror and slide it 

into the locked, upright 
position.   

To return to 3D/stereo, simply 
reverse the procedure. 

 

User controls and OSD menu 

The two monitors have a soft DC power switch near the center of the bottom 
bezel.  This control is used for turning the monitor on or off.  To the right of 
the power switch is an LED 
power indicator.  When the LED 
is green, the power is on.  A 
yellow light indicates that the 
monitor is in power-saving 
mode.  The left and right 
Function Select buttons [Fn]  
can be used to control the  
On-Screen Display (OSD) menu 
selection.  The left and right 
Adjustment Control buttons [+/-] can be used to increase or  
decrease the OSD setting, respectively. 

The two monitors have an OSD menu that allows control of the brightness, 
contrast, and color settings.  Adjustment of the brightness setting is not a 
direct increase or decrease to the overall luminance, but a driving voltage 
adjustment of the LCD panel.  In other words, setting the brightness to  
0 (zero) does not reduce the luminance to 0 cd/m

2

.  

NOTE: Changing the Brightness setting can reduce the number of discernable 
gray levels.
