  How to adjust the screen refresh rate
6. How to adjust the screen refresh rate 
You don’t have to choose the highest possible refresh  rate on an LCD display, because it is not 
technically possible for an LCD display to flicker.  The best results are obtained by using the factory 
modes already set in your computer. There is a  table with the factory modes in the specification 
section of this User Manual: 
Supported PC Timings on page 47
You can choose 60, 70 and 75 Hert z, (but not 72Hz) for the native resolution of 1920 x 1200. 
1. Double click the Display icon in  Control Panel .
2. From the  Display Properties  window, select the  Settings tab and click the  Advanced button. 
3. Select the  Adapter tab, and select an appropriate refresh rate to match one of the applicable 
factory modes as listed in the specification table.
4. Click  Change, OK , then  Ye s. 
5. Close the  Display Properties  window.

7. Picture optimization 
The easiest way to obtain an optimal display from an analog (D-Sub) input is to use the  i key 
function. Press the  i
 key to optimize the currently displayed image to the screen. 
When you connect a digital video output using a digital (DVI) cable to your monitor, the  i key and the  Auto 
Adjustment  function will be disabled, be cause the monitor will automatica lly display the best image. 
Please ensure that the connected graphic card on your  computer is set to the native resolution of the 
monitor (1920 x 1200) when you use the  i  key function.
If you wish, you can always adjust the screen  geometric settings manually using geometry menu 
items. To assist you in this ende avour, BenQ has provided a screen  test image utility which you can 
use to check for screen color, gray scale and line gradient display.
1. Run the test program auto.exe from CD-ROM. You could also use any other image, such as  the desktop of your operating system. However,  we recommend that you use auto.exe. As you 
run auto.exe, a test pattern displays.
2. Press the  i key on the monitor.
3. Press the  MENU key to access the monitor On-Screen Display (OSD) menu.
4. Use the 
t or u keys to select  DISPLAY and press the  ENTER key to enter the menu.
5. If you notice a vertical noise (like a curtai n effect-shimmering of vertical lines), press the 
t 
or 
u keys to select  Pixel Clock and press the  ENTER key. Then press the t or u keys to 
adjust the monitor until the noise disappears.
