Chapter 2. Adjusting and using your monitor This section will give you information on adjusting and using your monitor. Comfort and accessibility Good ergonomic practice is important to get the most from your personal computer and to avoid discomfort. Arrange your workplace and the equipment you use to suit your individual needs and the kind of work that you perform. In addition, use healthy work habits to maximize your performance and comfort while using your computer.
• Use adequate lighting for the type of work you are performing. • Use the monitor brightness, contrast, and image adjustment controls, if equipped, to optimize the image on your screen to meet your visual preferences. • Keep your monitor screen clean so you can focus on the screen's contents. Any concentrated and sustained visual activity can be tiring for your eyes. Be sure to periodically look away from your monitor screen and focus on a far object to allow your eye muscles to relax.
Adjusting your monitor image This section describes the user control features used to adjust your monitor image. Using the direct access controls The direct access controls can be used when the On Screen Display (OSD) is not displayed. Note: The direct access controls are blue. Table 2-1. Direct access controls Icon Control Description Image Setup Activates automatic image adjustment. Brightness Direct access to Brightness adjustment. Input Change Switches the video input source.

Table 2-2. OSD functions OSD Icon on Main Menu Submenu Input video signal Description Controls and Adjustments (Analog) This monitor can accept video signals through two different connectors. Most desktop computers use a D-SUB connector. Select digital among OSD Controls when you use DVI connector. Controls and Adjustments (Digital) Same as Analog - Selects D-SUB (Analog) - Selects DVI-Digital Shows resolution, refresh rate, and product details.
Selecting a supported display mode The display mode the monitor uses is controlled by the computer. Therefore, refer to your computer documentation for details on how to change display modes. The image size, position and shape might change when the display mode changes. This is normal and the image can be readjusted using automatic image setup and the image controls. Unlike CRT monitors, which require a high refresh rate to minimize flicker, LCD or Flat Panel technology is inherently flicker-free.
Understanding power management Power management is invoked when the computer recognizes that you have not used your mouse or keyboard for a user-definable period. There are several states as described in the table below. For optimal performance, switch off your monitor at the end of each working day, or whenever you expect to leave it unused for long periods during the day. Table 2-4.
Caring for your monitor Be sure to turn off the power before you perform any maintenance on the monitor. Do not: • Apply water or liquid directly to your monitor. • Use solvents or abrasives. • Use flammable cleaning materials to clean your monitor or any other electrical equipment. • Touch the screen area of your monitor with sharp or abrasive items. This type of contact may cause permanent damage to your screen. • Use any cleaner which contains an anti-static solution or similar additives.
