Audio Source—Selects the audio source. Allows the audio source to be set to the main or PIP window.

 

When set to PIP window and the PIP is displayed on screen, the audio being played switches from the main

is only heard when the PIP is set to full screen.

is fixed to the HDMI video signal and cannot be mapped.

 

 

Advanced menu

Language—Changes the language of the OSD.

 

LED Mode—Changes the brightness of the Standby and Power LED to Day Mode or Nite Mode. When

 

watching movies in a darkened room, you may want to change the LED mode to Nite Mode to avoid an

 

over-bright, distracting power LED indicator.

and YUV Color Space (used for analog TV input such as NTSC, PAL, and SECAM).

Resolution reminder—If the computer display input (VGA, DVI, and HDMI) is not set to 1920 × 1200,

 

displays a reminder that you should change your computer’s settings to use the optimum 1920 × 1200

 

resolution. If you prefer using your monitor at a resolution less than 1920 × 1200, use this option to turn

 

off the Resolution Reminder. For information on changing your computer’s display resolution, see “Changing

 

Windows screen settings” on page 13.

 

UltraResponse—Enables the monitor to work at a faster refresh rate. If you experience video quality issues

 

with shadows in fast moving images, you can disable this function to go back to the native LCD panel

 

response time.

 

UltraContrast—Adjusts the backlight to enhance the contrast.

 

Reset All—Resets all values to the factory settings.

For some video resolutions, refresh rates, and video scaling modes, PIP may not be allowed. If you receive a message that PIP is not available, try the following:

•Adjust the refresh rate in Windows to 60 Hz. See Windows online Help for more information.

•Adjust the video scaling mode to Wide on the monitor.

•Change the resolution of the Windows desktop to match the monitor’s full resolution of 1920 × 1200. For more information see “Changing color depth and screen resolution” on page 13.
