control, then press to return to the OSD main menu.

Auto-Configuration

If you use auto-configuration you can configure your monitor without having to adjust your monitor’s position, clock frequency and phase manually. To use auto-configuration, follow the instructions in your HP Optimizer Utility (for installation instructions, see your Quick Setup Guide).

With auto-configuration it is not necessary to adjust H POSITION, V

POSITION CLOCK or PHASE. However, if the results are unsatisfactory, follow the on-screen instructions in the HP Optimizer Utility to adjust these options manually.
