VIDEO CONFIGURATION SUBMENU (continued)

■Monochrome Mode

Use this setting to enable monochrome mode. Only the luminance of the image will be displayed as a grayscale picture.

■Blue-Only Mode

Use this setting to enable Blue-Only mode. This mode displays only the blue color component of the image, switching off the red and green components. Use this mode when calibrating the monitor to SMPTE color bars with the following procedure:

1.Allow the monitor to warm up for at least 5-10 minutes.

2.Display SMPTE split-field color bars on the monitor using the internal generator or an external source.

3.Enable Monochrome mode.

4.Locate the pluge pattern (super black, black, and gray bars) at the lower-right corner of the screen. Adjust the Brightness knob until there is no visible difference between the super black and black bars, but the gray bar is still visible.

5.Adjust the Contrast knob until an even grayscale appears along the top bars.

6.Disable Monochrome mode.

7.Enable Blue-Only mode and adjust the Color knob so that the outermost bars (white and blue) appear to match in brightness.

8.Composite/S-Video NTSC only: Adjust the Tint knob until the third bar from the left (cyan) and the third bar from the right (magenta) appear to match in brightness.

9.Disable Blue-Only mode.

■Pixel-to-Pixel™ Mode

Use this setting to enable Pixel-to-Pixel™ mode.

This mode bypasses the monitor’s internal scaling function and displays incoming images in their native resolution and aspect ratio, with a one-to-one mapping:

•For incoming formats smaller than the native resolution of the LCD panel (1024 x 768), the image will be displayed in the center of the screen using only the necessary LCD pixels. For example, NTSC or PAL images will occupy exactly 720 x 486 or 720 x 576 pixels respectively. The surrounding pixels will be black.

•For incoming formats exceeding 1024 x 768 pixels, only the center 1024 x 768 of the incoming image will displayed occupying the whole screen, with the remainder of the picture cropped. For example, 1080 and 720 formats will both be cropped to 1024 x 768 and displayed full-screen.

Note: Pixel-to-Pixel™ mode will utilize the entire screen (1024 x 768) regardless of the aspect ratio setting. Pixel-to- Pixel™ mode is not available when using the VGA or DVI inputs.
