Each mode appears on the screen and MODE is changed. The menu automatically disappears after about 5 seconds.

Automatic brightness adjustment function (light sensor)

This monitor is provided with a feature to automatically adjust the screen brightness according to the brightness of the surroundings. The brightness of the screen is set to the most appropriate level by

setting MODE to AUTO with the button on the lower side of the monitor, or in the PICTURE menu. The default setting of the brightness of the screen is set to MOVIE.

Also, when you set MODE to AUTO with the button, the adjustment bar is also displayed. You can adjust the bar with the m/M buttons. Screen brightness changes according to the level you set.

Automatic picture quality adjustment function (analog RGB signal only)

When the monitor receives an input signal, it automatically adjusts the picture’s position and sharpness (phase/pitch), and ensures that a clear picture appears on the screen.

The factory preset mode

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. If the input signal matches the factory preset mode, the picture appears on the screen automatically with the appropriate default adjustments.

If input signals do not match one of the factory preset modes

When the monitor receives an input signal that does not match one of the factory preset modes, the automatic picture quality adjustment function of this monitor is activated to ensure that a clear picture always appears on the screen (within the following monitor frequency ranges):

Horizontal frequency: 28–80 kHz

Vertical frequency: 48–75 Hz

Consequently, the first time the monitor receives input signals that do not match one of the factory preset modes, the monitor may take a longer time than normal to display the picture on the screen. This adjustment data is automatically stored in memory so that next time, the monitor will function in the same way as when the monitor receives the signals that match one of the factory preset modes.

If you adjust the phase, pitch, and picture position manually

For some input signals, the automatic picture quality adjustment function of this monitor may not completely adjust the picture position, phase, and pitch. In this case, you can set these adjustments manually (page 13). If you set these adjustments manually, they are stored in memory as user modes and automatically recalled whenever the monitor receives the same input signals.

Note

While the automatic picture quality adjustment function is activated, only the 1 (power) switch will operate.
