Fuzzy or unclear focus

Ghosting, streaking or shadowing effects

Faint vertical bars

Thin, horizontal scrolling lines

An off-center picture

To use the auto-adjustment feature:

2.Press the OK/auto button on the monitor front panel.

You can also press the Menu button, then select Image Control > Auto-Adjustmentfrom the OSD Main Menu. Refer to Using the On-Screen Display Menu (Select Models) on page 29.

If the result is not satisfactory, continue with the procedure.

3.Insert the CD in the disc drive. The CD menu is displayed.

4.Select Open Auto-Adjustment Software. The setup test pattern is displayed.

5.Press the OK/auto button on the monitor front panel to produce a stable, centered image.

6.Press the ESC key or any other key on the keyboard to exit the test pattern.

Optimizing Image Performance Manually

Two controls in the on-screen display can be adjusted to improve image performance: Clock and Clock Phase.

NOTE: The Clock and Clock Phase controls are adjustable only when using an analog input. These controls are not adjustable for digital inputs.

The Clock must first be set correctly since the Clock Phase settings are dependent on the main Clock setting. Use these controls only when the auto-adjustment function does not provide a satisfactory image.

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

Clock Phase Increase or decrease the value to minimize video flickering or blurring.

NOTE: When using the controls, you will obtain the best results by using the auto-adjustment pattern software utility provided on the CD.

When adjusting the Clock and Clock Phase values, if the monitor images become distorted, continue adjusting the values until the distortion disappears. To restore the factory settings, select Yes from the Factory Reset menu in the on-screen display.
