Brightness/Contrast Controls

BRIGHTNESS

Adjusts the overall image and background screen brightness.

CONTRAST

Adjusts the image brightness in relation to the background.

AUTO ADJUST CONTRAST (Analog input only)

Adjusts the image displayed for non-standard video inputs.

AUTO BRIGHTNESS (Analog input only)

This function adjusts the brightness automaticaly for the best CONTRAST and BRIGHTNESS setting based on the white display area.

Auto Adjust (Analog input only)

Automatically adjusts the Image Position and H. Size settings and Fine settings.

Position Controls

H-POSITION (Analog input only)

Controls Horizontal Image Position within the display area of the LCD.

V-POSITION (Analog input only)

Controls Vertical Image Position within the display area of the LCD.

H.SIZE (Analog input only)

Adjusts the horizontal size by increasing or decreasing this setting.

Should the “AUTO Adjust function” do not give you a satisfactory picture setting, a further tuning can be performed using the “H.Size” function (dot clock). For this a Moiré test pattern could be used. This function may alter the width of the picture. Use left/Right Menu to center the image on the screen. If the H.Size is wrongly calibrated, the result would look like on the left drawing. The image should be homogeneous.
