Eliminating flicker or blurring (PHASE/PITCH)

When the monitor receives an input signal, the automatic picture quality function of this monitor is activated. This function automatically adjusts the phase, pitch, and picture position to ensure that a clear picture appears on the screen. For more information about this function, see “Automatic picture quality adjustment function” on page 17.

For some input signals, this function may not completely adjust the phase, pitch, and picture position. In this case, you can manually set these adjustments according the following instructions. If you manually set these adjustments, they are stored in memory and automatically recalled whenever the monitor receives the same input signals.

These settings may have to be repeated if you change the input signal after reconnecting your computer.
