timings (resolution settings).
DVI SELECTION
: This function selects the DVI input mode. If the DVI selections changes,
you must restart the computer.
AUTO: When using the DVI-D to DVI-D cable, the DVI SELECTION is DIGITAL.
When using the D-SUB to DVI-A cable, the DVI SELECTION is ANALOG.
DIGITAL: DVI digital input is available.
ANALOG: DVI analog input is available.

VIDEO DETECT: Selects the method of video detection when more than one video
input source is connected to the monitor.
FIRST: If “FIRST” is selected as the VIDEO DETECT option, the
monitor displays the signal from the fi rst input port. If there is no signal present
at the fi rst input port, then the monitor will search for a signal from the next
input port.
If a new input signal is connected to another of the monitor’s input ports while
the monitor is in FIRST mode, the monitor DOES NOT automatically
SWITCH to the new source.
Setting 1, 2, 3, and 5 can be adjusted. For each of these settings the following
levels can be adjusted: Color temperature, Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, and
Magenta.

13
LAST: If “LAST” is selected as the VIDEO DETECT option, then
each time a new input source is detected, the monitor will automatically display
the new signal.
NONE: The monitor will only search other input ports while the power is on.
OFF TIMER

of time passes. Before powering off, a message will appear on the screen asking
the user if they want to delay the turn off time by 60 minutes. Press any OSM
button to delay the turn off time.
IPM: T
he Intelligent Power Manager allows the monitor to enter into a power saving
mode after a period of inactivity. The IPM has three settings.
OFF: Monitor does not go into power save mode when the input signal is lost.
STANDARD:
Monitor enters power save mode automatically when the input
signal is lost.
OPTION: Monitor enters power save mode automatically when the amount of
surrounding light goes below the level that is determined by the user. This level
can be determined in Tag 7 of the Advanced OSM Control menu.

automatically return to normal mode.
COLORCOMP:
This function electronically compensates for the slight variations in
the white uniformity level, as well as for slight differences in color that may occur throughout
the display area of the screen. These variations are characteristic of LCD panel
technology. This function improves the color and evens out the luminance uniformity
of the display.
NOTE: Using the COLORCOMP feature reduces the overall peak luminance of
the display. If greater luminance is desired over the uniform performance of the
display, then COLORCOMP should be turned off.
MENU Tools
LANGUAGE:
OSM control menus are available in eight languages.
OSM LEFT/RIGHT: You can choose the location where the OSM appears on
your screen. The LEFT/RIGHT submenu moves the OSM horizontally.

OSM control settings back to the factory settings.
Individual settings can be reset by highlighting the control that needs to be reset,
and pressing the RESET button.
Information
Information
Provides information about the current resolution being displayed by the monitor.
Also provides technical information including which preset timing is being used as
well as the horizontal and vertical frequencies.
For advanced user menu items see “Advanced OSM Controls”.
Note: It is possible to change the DVI selection or to change the IPM settings while
the “NO SIGNAL” or “OUT OF RANGE” messages are displayed.
OSM WARNINGS: OSM Warning menus alert the user when there are problems
with the input signal. These warnings will disappear when the Exit button is pressed.
NO SIGNAL: This warning appears when there is no Horizontal or Vertical Sync.
After power is turned on or when there is a change of input signal, the No Signal
window will appear.
RESOLUTION NOTIFIER: This warning appears when the monitor detects a
resolution other than the optimized resolution. For the example, if the optimized
resolution for the monitor is 1280 x 1024 and a signal using a resolution of
1024 x 768 is detected, the “Resolution Notifi er” warning will appear.
OUT OF RANGE: This warns if the input signal is out of the optimized
resolution and refresh rate range that is used by monitor.

Advanced OSM Controls
In addition to the standard On Screen Menu (OSM), the Advanced OSM Control menu
allows the user to have much more control over regular OSM functions as well as
access to functions not available in the standard OSM.
To use the advanced menu
• Turn off your monitor using the front "POWER" button.
• Turn on your monitor by pushing the “POWER” and “SELECT” button simultaneously
for at least one second. Then press one of the following front OSM buttons: EXIT,
LEFT, RIGHT, UP, or DOWN.
• You will see the Advanced OSM Control menu. This menu is larger than the
standard OSM and has numbered tags instead of icons.
• To exit the Advanced OSM, turn off and restart your monitor in the normal way.
To adjust the setting, use the buttons on the front panel to highlight desired tag and
press "SELECT". Use the buttons to make the adjustment. Once the setting is at the
desired level press "SELECT" and then "EXIT" to go back to the previous menu.

A-NTAA SW
(Analog input only)
The Advanced No Touch Auto Adjust function is able to recognize
new signals even when neither the resolution nor the refresh rate
has changed. If several PCs are connected to the monitor, and
each transmit very similar (or even the same) signals in terms of
resolution and refresh rates, the monitor recognizes that there is
a new signal and automatically optimizes the picture without the
need for any action on the part of the user.

If the “Auto Adjust function” does not give a satisfactory picture,
further tuning can be performed manually using the “H. Size (or
V. Size)” function (dot clock).
To manually adjust the monitor, a Moiré test pattern should be
used.
This function may alter the width of the picture. Use Left/Right
Menu to center the image on the screen.
(see page 11).
FINE
(Analog input only)
If the “Auto Adjust” and the “H.Size” functions do not give a
satisfactory picture, further tuning can be performed using the
“Fine” function. Increasing or decreasing this setting improves
focus, clarity and image stability.

OFF: A-NTAA is disabled.
ON: If a change in signal is detected A-NTAA will adjust the
monitor to the optimal settings for the new signal. If no change in
the signal is detected then A-NTAA does not activate. The screen
will be blank while the monitor optimizes the signal.
OPTION: Functions the same as ON, except that the screen does
not go blank when the monitor makes adjustments for changes in
signal, allowing the monitor to display the new signal faster. When
using an external switching device to connect 2 or more PCs to the
monitor, using the ON or OPTION settings is suitable.
