Technical Features
Preset and user modes
When the monitor receives an input signal, it automatically matches the signal to one of the factory preset modes stored in the monitor’s memory to provide a high quality picture at the center of the screen. (See Appendix for a list of the factory preset modes.) For input signals that do not match one of the factory preset modes, the digital Multiscan technology of this monitor ensures that a clear picture appears on the screen for any timing in the monitor’s frequency range (horizontal: 30 – 70 kHz, vertical: 48 – 120 Hz). If the picture is adjusted, the adjustment data is stored as a user mode and automatically recalled whenever the same input signal is received.
Note for Windows users
For Windows users, check your video board manual or the utility program which comes with your graphic board and select the highest available refresh rate to maximize monitor performance.
Troubleshooting
Before contacting technical support, refer to this section.
If thin line appears on your screen (damper wire)
The visible line on your screen especially when the background screen color is light (usually white), is normal for the Trinitron monitor. This is not a malfunction. This is shadow from the damper wire used to stabilize the aperture grille. The aperture grille is the essential element that makes a Trinitron picture tube unique by allowing more light to reach the screen, resulting in a brighter, more detailed picture.
