Connecting the display

When using LVU2E1 on 5MP monochrome LCD ME551i2 ...

ME551i2 supports landscape and portrait orientations. However, the EDID (Extended Display Information Data) within the display controls the display orientation and its orientation settings need to be manually switched. By default, it is set to portrait. See the display user manual for instructions.

Please note that, in setting up LVU2E1 in Display Properties, only choices available for the currently used display orientation will be listed. For instance, when ME551i2 is in portrait orientation, landscape resolutions do not appear in the drop-down menu. Therefore, it is recommended that the display orientation be determined before starting the following procedures.
