Notes
• Before using this feature, the monitor must be in normal
operation mode (green power indicator on) for at least 30
minutes. If the monitor goes into power saving mode, you must
return the monitor to normal operation mode and wait for 30
minutes for the monitor to be ready.
You may need to adjust your computer’s power saving settings
to keep the monitor in normal operation mode for the full 30
minutes. If the monitor is not ready, the following message will
appear.
• The monitor may gradually lose its ability to perform this
function due to the natural aging of the picture tube.

RECOMMENDED RESOLUTION
If the picture does not fill the screen to the edges or if the

resolution to the figures shown in the OSD using your
computer. If the input signal matches one of this monitor’s
factory preset modes, the resolution and refresh rate of the
current input signal are displayed.

If the picture is flickering, adjust the refresh rate to figures
shown in the OSD. If the input signal matches one of this
monitor’s factory preset modes, the refresh rate of the

adjusting the picture’s geometry. Press the / button to
jump directly to the GEOMETRY OSD.

displayed, the contrast, brightness, and moire adjustment

the screen manually. Press the / button to jump directly to
the OPTION OSD, then select
(DEGAUSS).
