    Tag7UniformityThis function electronically compensates for the slight variations in the white 
    uniformity level as well as for deviations in color that may occur throughout the 
    display area of the screen. These variations are characteristic of LCD panel tech-
    nology. This function improves the color and evens out the luminance uniformity 
    of the display.
    NOTE: Using the UNIFORMITY feature does reduce the overall peak luminance of the 
    display. If greater luminance is desired over the uniform performance of the display, then 
    UNIFORMITY should be turned off.

    Tag9Screen SaverUser the Screen Saver to reduce the risk of image persistance.
    MOTION (default: OFF): Screen image is reduced to 95% size and moves peri-
    odically in four directions to reduce the risk of image retention.  Screen image can 
    be set to move periodically in intervals f rom 10 to 900 seconds in 10 increments.
    GAMMA (default: OFF): When OFF, the GAMMA selection that is used by the 
    display is the same as what is selected in Tag5 (page 29).  When ON, is selected, 
    the GAMMA curve (except PROGRAMMABLE) is narrow, reducing the con-
    trast and cutting down the risk of image retention.
    NOTE: SCREEN SAVER function does not work when the TILING function is enabled.  
    When the SCREN SAVER function is enabled and the monitor is set to the recommended 
    resolution, the screen image will be reduced to 95% and will appear slightly less sharp than

    input signals. Adjusts the slice level when separating synchronization f rom sync 
    On Green signal input. Press LEF T or RIGHT to select.
    CLAMP POSITION: Operating your monitor at a non-standard timing may 
    cause images to appear darker than normal or have color distortion. Use of the

    4.10. Using the Auto Brightness Function
    The brightness of the LCD screen can be set to in-
    crease or decrease depending on the amount of ambient 
    light in the room. If the room is bright, the monitor be-
    comes correspondingly bright. If the room is dim, then 
    the  monitor  will  dim  accordingly.  The  purpose  of  this 
    function  is  to  make  the  viewing  experience  more  com-
    fortable to the eye in a variety of lighting conditions.
    The Auto Brightness function is set to OFF by default.
    Setup: Select the brightness range■
    Use the following procedure to select the Brightness 
    Range that the monitor will use when the Auto Bright-
    ness function is activated.
    1.    Set  the  BRIGHT  level. This  is  the  brightness  level 
    that  the  monitor  will  go  up  to  when  the  ambient 
    light  level  is  highest.    Make  sure  the  room  is  at  its 
    brightest when setting this level.
    Select  “1”  in  the  AUTO  BRIGHTNESS  menu 
    (Figure  A). Then  use  the  f ront  buttons  to  move  the 
    cursor up to the BRIGHTNESS setting. Choose the 
    desired brightness level (Figure B).
    2.  Set  the  DARK  level.  This  is  the  level  of  brightness 
    that the monitor will go down to when the ambient 
    light level is low.  Make sure the room is at its darkest 
    when setting this level.
    Then use the f ront buttons to move the cursor up to 
    the BRIGHTNESS setting. Choose the desired bright-
    ness level (Figure C).
    Figure A
    ImpOrTANT  INfO :    To  access  the  Auto 
    brightness  function,  you  must  first  access  the  Ad-
    vanced OSD mode.  See page 25 for details.

    ProblemQuestion
    Image persistence.Please be aware that LCD Technology may experience a phenomenon known as Image Persistence. Im-
    age persistence occurs when a residual or “ghost” image of a previous image remains visible on the screen. 
    Unlike CRT monitors, LCD monitors’ image persistence is not permanent, but constant images being 
    displayed for a long period of time should be avoided. To alleviate image persistence, turn off the monitor 
    for as long as the previous image was displayed. For example, if an image was on the monitor for one hour 
    and a residual image remains, the monitor should be turned off for one hour to erase the image. 
    NOTE: As with all personal display devices, LaCie recommends displaying moving images and using a 
    moving screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle or turning off the monitor when not in 
    use.

    Image is displayed only roughly (pixels are missing) and OSD warning OUT OF RANGE is displayed: 
    Either signal clock or resolution is too high. Choose one of the supported modes.
