Moiré Reduction

What is moiré?

E

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 light-gray or every- other-dot pattern background. Although moiré can not be eliminated, it can be reduced with the moiré reduction feature.

(Every-other-dot pattern)

Moiré can be reduced in a variety of ways.

1)Adjust with the ScreenManager’s moiré reduction function.

Adjust so that moiré becomes almost unnoticeable. Before adjusting, set the desktop to an every-other-dot pattern (see picture) so that moiré will be visible. Following the adjustment, change to a different desktop background to reduce moiré even further.

2)Change the horizontal and vertical dimensions.

Adjust the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the display area as necessary to reduce moiré.

3)Change the selected desktop or wallpaper pattern.

Use the PC software to change the desktop or wallpaper pattern. Any solid color pattern is recommended. For detailed information on how to change these patterns, refer to the documentation for the PC and operating system.

•The screen image may shake slightly while the ScreenManager moiré reduction function is ON. Switching the function OFF will improve image stability and clarity at the expense of slightly greater moiré.
