4. ADJUSTMENT

The monitor displays the digital input image correctly based on its pre-setting data.

4-1. Screen Adjustment

Screen adjustments for the LCD monitor should be used in suppressing screen flickering and also for adjusting the screen to its proper position. There is only one correct position for each display mode. It is also recommended to use the ScreenManager function when first installing the display or whenever changing the system. For convenience, an easy set-up Program installed on the utility disk to assist in the set-up procedure is provided.

*

Allow the LCD monitor to stabilize for at least 20 minutes before making image adjustments.

Adjustment Procedure
1.
Push the Auto adjustment button on the front panel.

The message "Your setting will be lost, if you press again now." appears and remains on the screen for 5 seconds. While the message is on the screen, push the Auto adjustment button again to automatically adjust the clock, phase, screen position and resolution. If you do not wish to do adjust the screen, do not push the Auto adjustment button again.

*

The Auto sizing function is intended for use on the Macintosh and on AT-compatible PC running Windows. It may not work properly in either of the following cases.
When running an AT-compatible PC on MS-DOS (Not windows). The background color for the "wall paper" or "desktop" pattern is set to black.

If the appropriate screen cannot be made by using the Auto adjustment button, adjust the screen through the following procedures. If the appropriate screen can be made, proceed to step 4.

2.
Run the "Screen adjustment program".

Having read the "Readme.txt" file, run the "Screen adjustment program" in the enclosed EIZO LCD Utility Disk. Step by step, adjustment is provided by the wizard guide.

*

If the user's operating system has no utility disk (e.g. OS/2), we recommend setting the desktop pattern to that as shown in the diagram on the following.

3.
Adjust by using <Screen> menu in the ScreenManager.
(1)
Vertical bars appear on the screen
=>Use the <Clock> adjustment.

Select the <Clock> and eliminate the vertical bars by using the Right and Left of the Control buttons.

Do not continuously press the Control buttons, as the adjustment value will change quickly and make it difficult to locate the most suitable adjustment point. If the horizontal flickering, blur or bars appear, proceed to <Phase> adjustment as follows.

(2)
Horizontal bars appear on the screen.
=>Use the <Phase> adjustment.
Select the <Phase> and eliminate the horizontal flickering, blurring or bars by using the Right and Left buttons.

*

Horizontal bars may not completely disappear from the screen depending on the PC.

(3)
The screen position is incorrect.
=>Use the <Position> adjustment.

The correct displayed position of the monitor is decided because the number and the position of the pixels are fixed. The <Position> adjustment moves the image to the correct position.

Select <Position> and adjust the position by using the Up, Down, Right and Left buttons.

If vertical bars of distortion appear after finishing the <Position> adjustment, return to <Clock> adjustment and repeat the previously explained adjustment procedure. Clock =>Phase =>Position.

4.
Adjust the output signal range (Dynamic Range) of the signal.
=>  
Use the <Range Adjustment>of <Screen> menu.

This controls the level of output signal range to display the whole color gradation (256 colors).

[Procedure]

Push the Auto adjustment button on the front panel while displaying the <Range Adjustment> menu to automatically adjust the range. The screen blanks for a moment and adjusts the color range to display the whole color gradation of the current output signal.

5.
To smooth the blurred texts of the enlarged screen of the lower resolutions.
=>  Switch the <Smoothing> setting.

Select the suitable level from 1 - 5 (Soft - Sharp).
Select <Smoothing> in the <Screen> menu and adjust by using the Right and Left buttons.

*

The <Smoothing> is disabled in the resolution 1024 x 768.
*
Since the displayed image is enlarged, the blurred texts may not be necessarily lost completely.

4-2. Color Adjustment
