Screen Adjustments

ENGLISH

The screen adjustments described in this manual are designed to set image position and minimize flicker or blur for the particular computer in use.

The monitor is designed to provide the best performance at resolution of 1680 × 1050, but can not provide the best at resolutions of less than 1680 × 1050 because the picture is automatically stretched to fit the full screen. It is recommended to operate at resolution of 1680 × 1050 in normal use.

Displayed text or lines will be blurred or irregular in thickness when the picture is stretched due to the screen enlargement process.

It is preferable to adjust the image position and frequency with the monitor controls, rather than the computer software or utilities.

Perform adjustments after a warm-up period of at least thirty minutes.

Additional adjustments may be required after the Auto Set-up depending on the resolution or signal timing.

The Auto Set-up may not work correctly when displaying the picture other than the screen adjustment pattern. In this case, manual adjustments are required.

There are two ways to adjust the screen. One way is automatic adjustment for Clock, Phase and Position. The other way is performing each adjustment manually.

Perform the Auto Set-up first when the monitor is connected to a new computer, or resolution is changed. If the screen has a flicker or blur, or the picture does not fit in the display area after performing the Auto Set-up, manual adjustments are required. Both adjustments should be made by using the screen adjustment pattern (Test.bmp) obtained via the IIYAMA web site (http:// www.iiyama.com).

Adjust the image by following the procedure below to get the desired picture. This manual explains adjustment under Windows 95/98/2000/Me/XP/Vista.
