Optimizing computer images
After your computer is connected properly and the computer’s image is on the screen, you can optimize the image using the onscreen menus. For gen- eral information on using the menus, see page 31.
•Adjust the Keystone, Contrast, or Brightness in the Picture menu.
•Change the Aspect Ratio. Aspect Ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. TV screens are usually 1.33:1, also known as 4:3. HDTV and most DVDs are 1.78:1, or 16:9. Choose the option that best fits your input source. See page 32 for details.
•Adjust the Color Temperature in the Advanced menu.
•Adjust the Phase, Tracking, or Horizontal or Vertical position in the Advanced menu.
