Automatic Image setup

Image setup

Before carrying out this section, it is very important that the correct monitor drivers have been installed. (See pages 11 and 13. )

i The Setup Utility included on the setup CD displays a

test pattern of dots. It does not replace or modify the display drivers.

i The Image setup instructions require the

monitor to be warmed up for 15 minutes. This is not required for normal operation.

i If your computer does not run with the setup CD

shipped with the monitor, refer to Manual Image setup on page 17.

i The Image setup process only applies to the current

screen mode. When a new mode is selected, repeat this section to reset the monitor.

For digital input, image setup is not required.

When you first use your monitor, you must perform Auto Setup for analog input. If you are using digital input, continue with the instructions on page 9. This procedure sets up your monitor to process the video signals from your computer without image discoloration or smearing. After you perform Auto Setup, the settings are stored and used each time you turn on the monitor.

In order to optimize the displayed image a set-up utility is provided on the IBM User’s Guide and Installation Files CD. Operation of this utility is dependent on the operating system on your computer. You may choose to run Image setup for each operating system that you use. This means that if you sometimes use your monitor while running any version of Windows and sometimes also use it from within DOS (not a DOS window), you must run Image setup for both Windows and DOS. You may run versions of Image setup in any order.

Before you begin Image setup for your computer, make sure the computer video mode is set in the range of the supported screen resolution shown in the table on page 22.

You should perform Image setup for each screen mode you use.
