Flexible Arm Installation This LCD monitor is designed for use with a flexible arm. To prepare the monitor for alternate mounting purposes: • Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the display mount.
Mount Flexible Arm This LCD monitor is designed for use with a flexible arm. 1. Follow the instructions on how Remove Monitor Stand for Mounting to remove the stand. 2. Use the 4 screws removed from the stand to attach the arm to the monitor (Figure F.1). Caution: Use ONLY the screws (4 pcs) that were removed from the stand to avoid damage to the monitor or stand.
OSD (On-Screen Display) control keys on the front of the monitor function are as follows: To access OSD menu, touch any of the control keys. To change signal input, touch the SELECT key. NOTE: Exit OSD in order to change signal input. 1 Ambibright Sensor Human Sensor Detects the level of ambient lighting, allowing the monitor to make adjustments to various settings resulting in a more comfortable viewing experience. Do not cover this sensor. 2 LED Indicates that the power is on or off.
ECO TOOLS BRIGHTNESS Adjusts the overall image and background screen brightness. If ECO MODE is set to 1 or 2, a bar for CARBON FOOTPRINT will appear. CONTRAST Adjusts the overall image and background screen brightness by input signal level. ECO MODE Decreases the amount of power consumption by reducing the brightness level. OFF: No function. 1 (ENERGY STAR SETTING): Sets brightness variable range from 0% to 60%.
The human sensor on the front side of the monitor detects the movement of a person by using the HUMAN SENSING function. The HUMAN SENSING has three settings: OFF: No HUMAN SENSING. 1 (LIGHT): After it is detected that there is no person after a period of time, the monitor shifts to low brightness mode automatically to reduce the power consumption. When a person comes near the monitor again, the monitor will automatically return to normal mode. START TIME adjusts the wait time to react.
FINE (Analog input only) Improves focus, clarity and image stability by increasing or decreasing this setting. If the “AUTO ADJUST” function and the “H.SIZE” function do not give you a satisfactory picture setting, a fine tuning can be performed by using the “FINE” function. For this a Moiré test pattern could be used. If the FINE value is wrongly calibrated, the result would look like the left drawing. The image should be homogeneous. When FINE value is wrong. When FINE value is correct.
Color Control System: Color presets select the desired color setting. 1, 2, 3, 5: Increases or decreases Red, Green or Blue color depending upon which is selected. The change in color will appear on screen and the direction (increase or decrease) will be shown by the bars. NATIVE: Original color presented by the LCD panel that is unadjustable. sRGB: sRGB mode dramatically improves the color fidelity in the desktop environment by a single standard RGB color space.
RESPONSE IMPROVE Turns the Response Improve function on or off. Response Improve may reduce blurring that occurs in some moving images. OFF TIMER Monitor will automatically power down when you have selected a pre-determined amount of time. Before powering off, a message will appear on the screen asking if you want to delay the turn off time by 60 minutes. Touch any OSD key to delay the power-down time.
To initiate data copy from the master monitor to the sub monitor(s), select “DATA COPY” and touch “SELECT”. A “PROCEEDING...” indicator will appear on the screen. NOTE: This function is only intended for the master monitor in ControlSync. All of the settings specified in the ControlSync chart (see page 26) will be copied from the master monitor to the sub monitor(s). CUSTOMIZE SETTING Store the current settings for easy recovery. To store current settings: Touch “SELECT”.
