Using the Monitor

Setting the Timing Mode

Setting the timing mode is important for maximizing the quality of the screen image and minimizing eye strain. The timing mode consists of the resolution (example 1024 x 768) and refresh rate (or vertical frequency; example 75 Hz). After setting the timing mode, use the OnView® controls to adjust the screen image.

For the best picture quality set your monitor timing mode to:

VESA 1024 x 768 @ 75 Hz.

To set the Resolution:

1Right-click on the Windows desktop.

2Click Properties on the drop-down menu.

3 Click the Settings tab.

4 Move the slider pointer which displays in the Desktop area or Screen area in the window.

NOTE: The refresh rate should already be set if you have done the CD installation (or refer to your graphics card documentation).

OSD Lock Settings

You have the option of using the On Screen Display (OSD) locking feature, OSD LOCK, to prevent unwanted changes to the current image settings.

OSD Lock: Press and hold the [2] button on the face of the monitor for 5 seconds. The message “OSD LOCK” will then display briefly, indicating that the OSD image settings are now locked.

OSD Unlock: Press and hold the [2] button again for 5 seconds. The message “OSD UNLOCK” will then display briefly, indicating that the OSD image settings are now unlocked.
