Phase
Phase means the sampling timi ng to convert the analog input signal to a digital signal. Phase adjus tment is
made to adjust the timing. It is recomme nded that phase adjustment be made after the clock is adjuste d
correctly.
Range Adjustment
Range adjustment controls the signal output levels to display ever y color gradation. It is recommended that
range adjustment be made before color adjustment.
Resolution
The LCD panel consists of numerous pixels of specied size, which are il luminated to form images. This
monitor consists of horizontal 1680 pixels and 1050 vertical pixels. At a resolution of 1680 × 1050, all pixels
are illuminated as a fu ll screen (1:1).
sRGB (Standard RGB)
International standa rd for color reproduction and color space among peripheral devices (such as monitors,
printers, digital camera s, scanners). As a form of simple color matching for the Internet, colors can be
displayed using tones close to those of the transmission and re ception devices.
Temperature
Color temperature is a method to measu re the white color tone, generally indicated in degrees Kelvin. T he
screen becomes reddish at a low temperatu re, and bluish at a high temperature, like the a me temperature.
5000 K: Slightly reddish white
6500 K: White referred to as daylight-balanced color
9300 K: Slightly bluish white
TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signaling)
A signal transmission system for digital i nterface.
VESA DPM (Video Electronics Standards Association - Display Power
Management)
VESA specications achieve increased energ y efciency for computer monitors. This involves
standardization of signals sent fr om the computer (graphics board).
DPM denes the status of signals transm itted between the computer and monitor.
