4.2 Switching on the display
Switch on the flat panel display using the power switch. The operation
LED lights up (color: green, provided the timing has been recognized
– please refer to section 7 "Fault diagnostics").
4.3 Adjusting the image geometry
The display automatically recognizes the used standard, and set-up
values for each standard are preprogrammed. However, depending on the
graphics card used, it may still be necessary to align and size the
picture for the selected standard (see Section 6.1 "Picture
adjustment"). Normally auto adjust will work.
4.4 Adjusting the brightness and contrast
The brightness and contrast must be adjusted for the respective
graphics card (different output levels) in the system on site.
Note on adjustment
− Use the SMPTE test pattern.
− Adjust the brightness so that image sections with 5% and 0%
blackness still visibly contrast from one another.
− Adjust the contrast so that image sections with 95% and 100%
whiteness still visibly contrast from one another. To adapt the
luminosity to the ambient lighting, adjust the backlight brightness
(note: 180 cd/m² factory setting is then modified).
4.5 Screen saver
A screen saver function should be used in order to reduce "image
sticking" which can occur in TFT displays.
It is high risk to display a static graphic over half an hour.
Image sticking is the effect where a faint image of the previous screen
contents can still be seen after the display contents have changed.
By using a screen saver with permanently changing screen contents,
unnecessary effects of the same image are avoided.
If the keyboard is locked, contact the servicing department in order
to unlock it. The guarantee is cancelled if you unlock it yourself!

6. Adjustments
6.1 Picture adjustment
This section describes the settings for operation of the flat panel
display with a video source. The most important settings are:
Adjusting the graphics memory of the video source
As with all monitors, the flat panel display also has certain limits,
e.g. maximum resolution and vertical frequency. The graphics adapter
must be set when using the flat panel display such that the limits are
observed.
Fine adjustment of the flat panel display
Note
Fine adjustment of the flat panel display can only be carried out via
the analog port. The digital input (DVI-D,DP) does not require a fine
adjustment since the display signal is always optimum.
RGB picture sources via VGA connector supply analog signals which are
basically intended for conventional CRT monitors and which are
processed directly by them.
In contrast, the analog signals must be converted for a flat panel
display into digital signals by a video digitizer. Depending on the

Page 15 of 26
picture source, cable length and video mode (e.g. VGA, SVGA, XGA) this
conversion may cause certain deviations which cannot be corrected
fully automatically by the flat panel display. A manual fine adjustment
is therefore necessary during which the flat panel display (or, more
precisely, the video digitizer) is matched to the respective video
source. The fine adjustment comprises e.g. setting the
horizontal/vertical picture position and the picture sharpness. T hi s
can be carried out for the color flat panel display HL1916S SERIAL
using an OSD menu.
To optimize the display settings for the installed graphic board, and
to ensure all gray levels are distinguishable, we recommend to adjust
the brightness and contrast levels for and only for analog inputs. Note
that the calibration (in the Look Up Table) is not changed by these
adjustments (All the monitors are and remain factory calibrated):
Using a 100% black picture and an appropriate measurement device (a
spot meter recommended), decrease the brightness level using the OSD
controls until the measurement device displays a constant level (i.e.
the measured value no longer changes). Once this is achieved, increase
the brightness level slightly until the display is just above the
absolute lowest black level (one step is generally sufficient).
Similarly, set the white level using a 100%-white test pattern and the
measurement device. Only the contrast level should be adjusted to
ensure that the black level remains unchanged.
• Control again the black value did not change. In case it did you
need to duplicate the two previous steps until it does not change
anymore (cause: pedestal).
Increase the contrast level until the measurement device no longer
detects an increase in luminance. Once this is achieved, decrease the
contrast level slightly (1 or 2 steps is generally sufficient).
At this point, the display is configured for optimal performance with
the installed graphic board. If one is not yet satisfied with the
luminance level, the black and white levels can be further increased
by adjusting the backlight level in the OSD menu. Please note that
higher backlight level settings tend to reduce the stability of
luminance over time.
6.2 Optimum picture quality
In order to achieve an optimum picture quality, the color flat panel
display HL1916S SERIAL should be operated with a graphics resolution

Page 16 of 26
of 1280 x 1024 pixels (settings for graphics card in the PC). When
adjusting the picture position and size, ensure that the picture
appears exactly on the active surface of the display and that it is
not offset by even one pixel. For example, if the horizontal position
is offset by one step to the right, the right-hand edge of the picture
will disappear, and a black pixel column will appear at the left-hand
edge. And similarly for an offset to the left, top or bottom. If the
vertical lines are still slightly fuzzy, adjust the setting
"Frequency/phase" (see Section 6.4 "Description of the menus").
