Using the LCD Display
Setting the Timing Mode
Setting the timing mode is important for maximizing the quality of the screen image
and minimizing eye strain. The
timing mode
consists of the
resolution
(example
1024 x 768) and
refresh rate
(or vertical frequency; example 60 Hz). After setting
the timing mode, use the OSD (On-screen Display) controls to adjust the screen
image.
For optimal picture quality, please use the recommended timing mode specific to
your LCD display listed on the “Specification” page.
To set the Timing Mode:
•
Setting the resolution:
Access "Appearance and Personalization" from Control
Panel via the Start Menu, and set the resolution.
•
Setting the refresh rate:
See your graphic card’s user guide for instructions.
IMPORTANT:
Please make sure that your graphics card is set to 60Hz vertical
refresh rate as the recommended setting for most LCD displays. Choosing a non-
supported timing mode setting may result in no image being displayed, and a
message showing “Out of Range” will appear on screen.

Adjusting the Screen Image
Use the buttons on the front control panel to display and adjust the OSD controls
which display on the screen.
The following tips may help you optimize your display:
• Adjust the computer’s graphics card to support a recommended timing mode
(refer to “Specifications” page for recommended setting specific to your LCD
display). To find instructions on “changing the refresh rate”, please refer to the
graphics card’s user guide.
• If necessary, make small adjustments using H. POSITION and V. POSITION
until the screen image is completely visible. (The black border around the edge
of the screen should barely touch the illuminated “active area” of the LCD
display.)
