Clock

With the analog input signal display, the analog signal is converted to a digital signal by the LCD circuitry. To convert the signal correctly, the LCD monitor needs to produce the same number clock pulse as the dot clock of the graphics system. When the clock pulse is not correctly set, some vertical bars of distortion are displayed on the screen.

Color Temperature (Temperature)

Color Temperature is a method to measure the white color tone, generally indicated in degrees Kelvin. At high temperatures the white tone appears somewhat blue, while at lower temperatures it appears somewhat red. Computer monitors generally give best performance at high temperature settings.

6,500 K: Warm-white tone, similar to white paper or daylight.

9,300 K: Slightly bluish white.

Gain Adjustment

Adjusts each color parameter for red, green and blue. The color of the LCD monitor is displayed through the color filter of the LCD panel. Red, green and blue are the three primary colors. The colors on the monitor are displayed by combining these three colors. The color tone can change by adjusting the illumination amount passed through each colorfs filter.

Phase

The phase adjustment decides the sampling timing point for converting the analog input signal to a digital signal. Adjusting the phase after the clock adjustment will produce a clear screen.

Range Adjustment

The Range Adjustment controls the level of output signal range to display the whole color gradation.

Resolution

The LCD panel consists of a fixed number of pixel elements which are illuminated to form the screen image. The EIZO P1700 display panel consists of 1280 horizontal pixels and 1024 vertical pixels. At a resolution of 1280 x 1024, all pixels are displayed as a full screen.
