Adjusting the picture quality (SCREEN)

The SCREEN settings allow you to degauss (demagnetize) the monitor manually and adjust the picture quality by controlling the moire.

•If the color is not uniform or the picture is fuzzy, degauss the monitor (DEGAUSS).

•If elliptical or wavy patterns appear on the screen, cancel the

moire (CANCEL MOIRE).

The monitor is automatically demagnetized (degaussed) when the power is turned on.

The screen is degaussed for about 2 seconds. If a second degauss cycle is needed, allow a minimum interval of 20 minutes for the best result.

The CANCEL MOIRE setting is stored in memory for the current input signal.

*Moire is a type of natural interference which produces soft, wavy lines on your screen. It may appear due to interference between the pattern of the picture on the screen and the phosphor pitch pattern of the monitor.

Adjusting the color of the picture (COLOR)

The COLOR settings allow you to adjust the picture’s color temperature by changing the color level of the white color field. Colors appear reddish if the temperature is low, and bluish if the temperature is high. This adjustment is useful for matching the monitor’s color to a printed picture’s colors.

xSelect the COLOR mode

There are 4 types of adjustment modes, PRESET, VARIABLE, EXPERT, and sRGB. The default setting is PRESET mode which can be adjusted to 9300K, 6500K, or 5000K.

If you want to set another mode (other than PRESET), select the desired mode in the COLOR ( ) menu. Then adjust the selected mode in each COLOR MODE ( ) menu.
