PC Setup

NOTE: All cables shown are not included with the Monitor

How to connect

1.To get the best picture quality, adjust the PC graphics card to 1024x768, 60Hz. But in 42PM3MV series, we recommend using 640x480, 60HZ for the PC mode.

2.Use the set’s RGB INPUT or HDMI/DVI (VIDEO) INPUT port for video connections, depending on your PC connector.

•If the graphic card on the PC does not output analog and digital RGB simultaneously, connect only one of either RGB INPUT or HDMI/DVI (VIDEO) to display the PC on the set.

•If the graphic card on the PC does output analog and digital RGB simultaneously, set the set to either RGB or HDMI/DVI (VIDEO); (the other mode is set to Plug and Play automatically by the set.)

3.Then, make the corresponding audio connection. If using a sound card, adjust the PC sound as required.

1.Turn on the PC and the set.

2.Turn on the display by pressing the POWER button on the set's remote control.

3.Use INPUT or MULTIMEDIA on the remote control to select RGB or HDMI source.

4.Check the image on your set. There may be noise associated with the resolution, vertical pattern, contrast or brightness in PC mode. If noise is present, change the PC mode to another resolution, change the refresh rate to another rate or adjust the brightness and contrast on the menu until the picture is clear. If the refresh rate of the PC graphic card can not be changed, change the PC graphic card or consult the manufacturer of the PC graphic card.

Note:

-Check the image on your TV. There may be noise associated with the resolution, vertical pattern, contrast or brightness in PC mode. If noise is present, change the PC output to another resolution, change the refresh rate to another rate or adjust the brightness and contrast on the VIDEO menu until the picture is clear. If the refresh rate of the PC graphic card can not be changed, change the PC graphic card or consult the manufacturer of the PC graphic card.

-When you use too long RGB-PC cable, there might be a noise on the screen. We recommend using under 5m of the cable. It provides the best picture quality.
