Using the ViewPanel

Setting the Timing Mode

The timing mode consists of the resolution and refresh rate (vertical frequency).
After setting the timing mode, use the ViewSonic OnView® controls in this section
to make adjustments. The recommended timing mode for this ViewPanel® is:
1280 x 1024 @ 60Hz.
To set the Timing Mode:
1Set the resolution: Right-click on the Windows® desktop > Properties >
Settings > Desktop Area > set the resolution (example 1280 x 1024 @
60Hz).
2Set the refresh rate: See your graphic card's user guide for instructions.
NOTE: To minimize the adjustments required for an optimal screen image,
select a timing mode from the Preset Timing Modes table below.
NOTE: For best image quality, activate AUTO TUNE from the IMAGE
ADJUST menu.
If necessary, from the IMAGE ADJUST menu, make small adjustments using
H POSITION and V POSITION, then PHASE, until the screen image is
completely visible. (The black border around the edge of the screen should
barely "touch" the illuminated "active area" of the ViewPanel.)
