Technical Features Preset and User Modes This monitor has factory preset modes for the most popular industry standards for true "plug and play" compatibility. When a new input signal is entered, the monitor selects the appropriate factory preset mode and momentarily adjusts the phase calibration to provide a high quality picture to the center of the screen. The calibration is stored in memory and is immediately recalled whenever the same input signal is received.

However, it may be necessary to fine tune the vertical/horizontal size and centering. Simply press the ASC button or adjust the monitor according to the adjustment instructions. The adjustments are stored automatically as a user mode and recalled whenever the corresponding input signal is received. Recommended horizontal and vertical timing conditions Horizontal sync width duty should be: >4.8% of total horizontal time. Horizontal blanking width should be: >2.5 µsec. Vertical blanking width should be: > 450 µsec. Note for Windows users For Windows users, check your video board manual or the utility program which comes with your graphic board and select the highest available refresh rate to maximize monitor performance. Adjusting the monitor's resolution and color number Adjust the monitor's resolution and color number by referring to your computer's instruction manual.
