    							Icon Main Menu Options Sub-menu Options Description
        Default Source Selects the default or primary video
    input signal when the monitor is
    connected to two active and valid video
    sources. The monitor will automatically
    determine the video format.
        Auto Switch Source Turns the systems automatic video
    signal input to On or Off. The factory
    default is On.
    Selecting Video Input Connectors
    The input connectors are:
    ●VGA connector (analog)
    ●DVI-D connector (digital) (select models)
    ●HDMI connector (select models)
    The monitor automatically determines which inputs have valid video signals, and displays the image.
    You can connect the VGA cable, the DVI-D cable, or both. If both cables are installed, the default
    input selection is DVI. The HDMI cable is in place of the DVI-D cable. The source of input can be
    switched using the Source Control option in the OSD menu. Switching from a VGA to an HDMI input
    source may take several seconds.
    Identifying Monitor Conditions
    Special messages appear on the monitor screen for the following monitor conditions:
    ●Input Signal Out of Range — Indicates the monitor does not support the video cards input
    signal because its resolution or refresh rate are set higher than the monitor supports.
    Change your video card settings to a lower resolution or refresh rate. Restart your computer for
    the new settings to take effect.
    ●Monitor Going to Sleep — Indicates the screen display is entering a sleep mode. The speakers
    are turned off in sleep mode.
    ●Power Button Lockout— Indicates the power button is locked. If the power button is locked,
    the warning message Power Button Lockout displays.
    ◦If the power button is locked, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds to unlock the
    power button function.
    ◦If the power button is unlocked, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds to lock out
    the power button function.
    ●Check Video Cable — Indicates a video input cable is not properly connected to the computer
    or monitor.
    ●OSD Lock-out — The OSD can be enabled or disabled by pressing and holding the Menu
    button on the front panel for 10 seconds. If the OSD is locked, the warning message OSD Lock-
    out appears for 10 seconds.

    							If the OSD is locked, press and hold the Menu button for 10 seconds to unlock the OSD.
    If the OSD is unlocked, press and hold the Menu button for 10 seconds to lock the OSD.
    ●Dynamic Contrast Ratio ONIndicates DCR is applied when Movie mode is selected from the
    Quick View options.
    ●Dynamic Contrast Ratio OFFIndicates DCR has been turned off when the monitor is changed
    to another viewing mode.
    ●No Input Signal — Indicates the monitor is not receiving a video signal from the computer on
    the monitor video input connector. Check to see if the computer or input signal source is off or in
    the power-saver mode.
    ●Auto Adjustment in Progress — Indicates the auto adjustment function is active. See
    Adjusting Screen Quality in this chapter.
    Adjusting Screen Quality
    The auto adjustment feature automatically fine-tunes the image quality for display size, position,
    clock, and phase each time a new video mode is displayed. For more precise adjustments of VGA
    input, run the Auto Adjustment software on the CD. See Using the Auto Adjustment Function in this
    chapter.
    If you want additional image quality improvement, use the Clock and Clock Phase controls of the
    monitor to fine tune the image. See Optimizing Analog Video in this chapter.
    Optimizing Analog Video
    Some monitors contain advanced circuitry that allow the monitor to function as a standard analog
    monitor. Two controls in the OSD menu can be adjusted to improve analog image performance:
    ●Clock — Increase or decrease the value to minimize any vertical bars or stripes visible on the
    screen background.
    ●Clock Phase — Increase or decrease the value to minimize video distortion or video jitter.
    Use these controls only when the auto adjustment function does not provide a satisfactory monitor
    image in analog mode. To obtain the best results:
    1.Allow the monitor to warm up for 20 minutes before adjusting.
    2.Display the adjustment-pattern application provided on the CD.
    3.Access the OSD menu, then select Image Control.
    4.Set the main Clock settings correctly first, because the Clock Phase settings depend on the
    main Clock settings.
    When adjusting the Clock and Clock Phase values, if the monitor images become distorted,
    continue adjusting the values until the distortion disappears.
    To restore the factory settings, access the OSD menu, select Factory Reset, and then select
    Yes.

    							Power-Saver Feature
    When the monitor is in normal operating mode, the Power light is green and the monitor uses the
    normal watts of power. For power usage, refer to Technical Specifications (Appendix B).
    The monitor also supports a power-saver mode that is controlled by the computer. When the monitor
    is in the reduced-power state, the monitor screen is blank, the backlight is off, and the Power light is
    amber. The monitor uses minimum power. When the monitor is awakened, a brief warm-up period
    occurs before the monitor returns to normal operating mode. The energy-saving reduced power state
    activates if the monitor does not detect either the horizontal sync signal or the vertical sync signal.
    The power-saver feature must be activated on your computer for this feature to work.
    Refer to your computer documentation for instructions on setting energy-saver features (sometimes
    called power-management features).
    NOTE:The energy-saver feature works only when the monitor is connected to computers that have
    energy-saver features.

    							A Troubleshooting
    Solving Common Problems
    The following table lists possible problems, the possible cause of each problem, and the
    recommended solutions:
    Problem Solution
    Power LED is not on. Make sure the Power button is on, and the power cord is properly connected to a grounded
    power outlet and to the monitor.
    Select Management in the OSD menu, and then select Bezel Power LED. Check if the
    Bezel Power LED option is set to Off and, if so, set to On mode.
    Screen is blank. Connect the power cord. Turn on the power.
    Connect the video cable properly. See 
    Setting Up the Monitor on page 7 for more
    information.

    Horizontal Position or Vertical Position to adjust the position of the image.
    Check Video Cable appears
    on screen.Connect the monitor VGA or DVI-D signal cable to the VGA or DVI-D connector on the
    computer. Be sure that the computer power is off while connecting the video cable.
    Input Signal Out of Range
    appears on screen.Restart your computer and enter Safe Mode. Change your settings to a supported setting
    (see the table in Preset Video Modes in 
    Technical Specifications on page 31). Restart
    your computer so that the new settings take effect.
    Picture is fuzzy and has
    ghosting, shadowing
    problem.Adjust the contrast and brightness controls.
    Make sure that you are not using an extension cable or switch box. We recommend plugging
    the monitor directly into the graphic card output connector on the back of your computer.
    The auto adjustment feature might fix this problem (VGA input only).
    Unable to set the monitor to
    the optimal resolution.Make sure the graphics card supports the optimal resolution.
    Make sure the latest supported driver is installed for the graphics card. For HP and Compaq
    systems, you can download the latest graphics driver for your system from: www.hp.com/
    support. For other systems, refer to the Web site for your graphics card.
