The	monitor	screen	adjustment	is	used	to	suppress	flickering	of	the	screen	or	adjust	screen	position	and	
screen	size	correctly	according	to	the	PC	to	be	used.
	
To	use	the	monitor	comfortably,	adjust	the	screen	when	the	monitor	is	set	up	for	the	first	time	or	when	
the	settings	of	the	PC	in	use	are	updated.	
Adjustment Procedure
