HP Widescreen A6B85A8#ABA, Lv2311 A6B85A8ABA manual Adjusting Screen Quality, Power-Saver Feature

Adjusting Screen Quality

The auto adjustment feature automatically fine-tunes the image quality for display size, position, clock, and phase each time a new video mode is displayed. For more precise adjustments of VGA input, run the Auto Adjustment software on the CD. If you want additional image quality improvement, use the Clock and Phase controls of the monitor to fine tune the image. See "Optimizing Analog Video" in this chapter.

Optimizing Analog Video

Some monitors contain advanced circuitry that allow the monitor to function as a standard analog monitor. Two controls in the OSD menu can be adjusted to improve analog image performance:

Clock - Increase or decrease the value to minimize any vertical bars or stripes visible on the screen background.

Phase - Increase or decrease the value to minimize video distortion or video jitter.

Use these controls only when the auto adjustment function does not provide a satisfactory monitor image in analog mode. To obtain the best results:

1.Allow the monitor to warm up for 30 minutes before adjusting.

2.Access the OSD menu, then select Image Setup.

3.Set the main Clock settings correctly first, because the Phase settings depend on the main Clock settings.When adjusting the Clock and Phase values, if the monitor images become distorted,continue adjusting the values until the distortion disappears. To restore the factory settings, access the OSD menu, select Factory Reset , and then select Yes .

Power-Saver Feature

When the monitor is in normal operating mode, the Power light is blue and the monitor uses the normal watts of power. For power usage, refer to "Technical Specification" (Appendix B). The monitor also supports a power-saver mode that is controlled by the computer. When the monitor is in the reduced-power state, the monitor screen is blank, the backlight is off, and the Power light is amber. The monitor uses minimum power. When the monitor is "awakened," a brief warm-up period occurs before the monitor returns to normal operating mode. The energy-saving reduced power state activates if the monitor does not detect either the horizontal sync signal or the vertical sync signal. The power-saver feature must be activated on your computer for this feature to work. Refer to your computer documentation for instructions on setting energy-saver features (sometimes called power-management features).

NOTE: The energy-saver feature works only when the monitor is connected to computers that have energy-saver features.
