Convergence
Displayed characters and images may appear fuzzy or have tinges of red, green, or blue if the electron beams do not converge correctly. These can be adjusted by the conver- gence adjustment feature in the ScreenManager.
What is convergence?
Convergence is the monitor’s ability to precisely illuminate specific phosphors and line them up properly in order to produce pure color.
In order to properly adjust convergence, it is best to have an image that makes it easy to see any convergence error. A black background with white letters or lines is the best. This could be a DOS text mode or an image created with a “paint” program.
When adjusting convergence, look at the adjustment across the whole screen. When adjusting horizontal convergence, look at the left and right edges of vertical lines or characters. When adjusting vertical convergence, look at the top and bottom edges of horizontal lines or characters. Proper adjustment is when the effect of red and blue tinges are minimized.
•The convergence adjustment adjusts the entire screen. It is not possible to limit adjustment to specific screen areas.
Moiré
What is moiré?
Moiré refers to an interference pattern of dark wavy lines on the screen. It is not a defect, but rather an interference phenomenon caused by the relationship between the phosphor layout and the imaging signal.
Moiré is often an indication of a good focus level. Moiré is particularly noticeable when using a
In order to adjust the moiré, follow the procedure below.
1)Set the desktop to an
2)Select “On” in the ScreenManager’s “Moiré Reduction” menu.
3)Adjust so that moiré becomes almost unnoticeable using the four arrow keys.
4)Change to a different desktop background to reduce moiré even further.
