Controls OSD (On-Screen Display) control buttons on the front of the monitor function as follows: To access OSD menu, press the MENU button. To change signal input, press the SELECT button. NOTE: OSD must be closed in order to change signal input. 8 7 Landscape 1 2 3 4 5 9 6 Portrait 1 AUTO DIMMING SENSOR Detects the level of ambient light, allowing the monitor to make adjustments to various settings, resulting in a more comfortable viewing experience. Do not cover this sensor.
English Brightness/Contrast Controls BRIGHTNESS Adjusts the overall image and background screen brightness. NOTE: The upper portion (higher settings) of the brightness level is adjusted using the backlight output. If a very low brightness level (low setting) is used the contrast level may be reduced. The display will digitally compensate for low brightness level. If this occurs, the indicator on the OSD will turn magenta. CONTRAST Adjusts the image brightness in relation to the background.
FINE (Analog input only) Improve 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 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.
Selects the type of input to be used with HDCP CONTENT. OFF: When a PC or other computer equipment is connected, select “OFF”. ON: When a DVD player or other type of high definition device is connected, select “ON”. NOTE: Interlaced signals (480i, 576i, 1080i) are not supported. If you have any problems, please refer to the Troubleshooting section of this User’s Manual. VIDEO DETECT Selects the method of video detection when more than one video input is connected.
OSD LOCK OUT This control completely locks out access to all OSD control functions.

TagA Tile Matrix The Tile Matrix feature allows one image to be displayed over multiple screens. This feature can be used with up to 25 monitors (5 vertical and 5 horizontal). Using Tile Matrix requires the PC output signal be sent through a distribution amplifier to each individual monitor. ENABLE: Select “ON”, the monitor will expand the selected position. H MONITOR: Select the number of horizontal displays. V MONITOR: Select the number of vertical displays.
Simply connect the external USB sensor, and the brightness, white tint and gamma levels are calibrated without the need of a computer. This feature works for displays requiring RGB calibration and graphical calibration. Before proper self calibration can be performed, display should warm-up for a minimum 30 minutes. If the USB sensor is plugged in before the monitor is warmed up, a warning will appear on-screen (Figure S.3).
7. The procedure will ask for the USB sensor to be placed on the center of the display panel (Figure S.7). Tilt the display panel approximately 5˚ backward and place the USB sensor in the center of the display panel (Figure S.1). NOTE: Place the USB sensor flat against the LCD to avoid external light contamination. DO NOT press the calibrator against the display panel. Press “SELECT”. 8. Set the target LUMINANCE (cd/m2) (Figure S.8). Figure S.6 Figure S.7 Figure S.8 9.
Calibration settings can be copied from one display to one or more additional displays. Using this feature reduces the variation between different displays allowing them to match each other more closely. Before proper copy calibration can be performed, displays should warm-up for a minimum 30 minutes. If the sensor is plugged in before the minute warm-up, a warning will appear on-screen (Figure C.4). NOTE: Stand-alone calibration can only be performed using the X-Rite i1 Display Sensor.
6. Using “LEFT” or “RIGHT” of Display B, select COPY in the MODE selection (Figure C.7). Select ON of OFF in the SELF selection. If ON selected, SELF Calibration execute with COPY Calibration. 7. Select the target GAMMA: NO CORRECTION, 2.2, OPTION, PROGRAMMABLE and CUSTOM. Please select the same target GAMMA as Display A. NOTE: If CUSTOM is selected, the Gamma Value can be manually changed in intervals of 0.1 at 0.5-4.0. 8.
The brightness of the LCD screen can be set to increase or decrease depending on the amount of ambient light within the room. If the room is bright, the monitor becomes correspondingly bright. If the room is dim, then the monitor will dim accordingly. The purpose of this function is to make the viewing experience more comfortable to the eye in a variety of lighting conditions. The Auto Brightness function is set to OFF by default. NOTE: When “AUTO LUMINANCE” is ON, this function is disabled.
