Chapter 3: Operation
About Touchmonitor Adjustments
Your touchmonitor will not likely require adjustment. However, variations in video output and
application may require adjustments to the touchmonitor to optimize the quality of the display.
For best performance, your touchmonitor should be operating in native resolution, that is 1024
x 768 at 53.6-75 Hz. Use the Display control panel in Windows to choose 1024 x 768
resolution.
Operating in other resolutions will degrade video performance.
All adjustments made to the controls are automatically memorized. This feature saves you
from having to reset the choices every time the touchmonitor is unplugged or powered off and
on. If there is a power failure, the touchmonitor settings will not default to the factory
specifications.
On-Screen Display (OSD)
Four OSD buttons are provided on the rear of the monitor to adjust various display parameters.
The same buttons are provided on an optional OSD Control Box which can plug into the RJ-45
connector on the touchmonitor connector panel.

User Manual: 1537L

Aspect Ratio
Switches the scaling method between Full Scaling and Maintain Aspect Ratio.
Default: Full Scaling
Full Scaling – scales the X- and Y-dimensions of the input video (up or down as
needed) to the display’s native resolution.
Fill ToAspect Ratio – Assuming a landscape orientation and an input video with
aspect ratio smaller than 1024 x 768, scales the Y-dimension of the input video (up or
down as needed) to the display’s Y-resolution, and scales the X-dimension to maintain
the input video’s aspect ratio (and fills the rest of the display with equal black bars on
the left and right).
The touchscreen may need recalibration when switching between Aspect Ratio
options.
Sharpness Adjusts sharpness of the displayed images.
Default: no sharpness adjustment
Only applicable at non-native input video resolutions

Preset Modes
To reduce the need for adjustment for different modes, the monitor has default setting modes
that are most commonly used as given in the table below. If any of these display modes are
detected, the monitor automatically adjusts the picture size and centering. When no mode is
matched, the user can store their preferred modes in the user modes. The monitor is capable
of storing up to 7 user modes. The only condition to store as a user mode is the new display
information must have 1 KHz difference for horizontal frequency or 1 Hz for vertical frequency
or the sync signal polarities are different from the default modes.
