Attention
- It takes about 30 minutes for the monitor display to stabilize. Please wait 30 minutes or more after power to the monitor has been turned on before adjusting the monitor.
- The same image may be observed in different colors on multiple monitors due to monitor-specific characteristics. Make fine color adjustments visually when matching colors across multiple monitors. Follow the procedure below to adjust and match colors across multiple monitors.
- Display a white screen on each monitor.
- Use one of the monitors as a visual reference point to make adjustments to "Brightness," "Temperature," and "Gain" on the other monitors.
- When Auto EcoView is set to "On," the same brightness setting is shared by all of the color modes and cannot be set individually for each color mode.
Color Mode
Settings: "User1" / "User2" / "sRGB" / "Paper"
Switch to the mode that suits the usage of the monitor.
The color mode settings can also be adjusted according to personal preference. Select the color mode for adjustment and perform adjustment using the relevant functions.
Note
- For details on the adjustment status of each color mode, see Switching Display Modes (Color Modes).
Brightness
Settings: "0" – "100"
The screen brightness is adjusted by changing the brightness of the backlight (light source from the LCD back panel).
Note
- If the image is too dark even when the brightness is set to 100, adjust the contrast.
Contrast
Settings: "0" – "100"
You can adjust the brightness of the screen by varying the video signal level.
Note
- When the contrast is set to 50, all color gradations will be displayed.
- When adjusting the monitor, it is recommended to perform brightness adjustment, which does not lose gradation characteristics, prior to contrast adjustment.
- Perform contrast adjustment in the following cases:
- If the image is too dark even when the brightness is set to 100 (Set the contrast to higher than 50.)
Temperature
Settings: "Off" / "4000K" – "10000K" (in increments of 500K, including 9300K)
Adjusts the color temperature.
The color temperature is normally used to express the hue of "White" and/or "Black" with a numerical value. The value is expressed in degrees "K" (Kelvin).
The screen becomes reddish at low color temperatures and bluish at high color temperatures, similar to the temperatures of a flame. A gain preset value is set for each color temperature setting value.
Note
- The value shown in "K" is available only as a reference.
- "Gain" allows you to perform more advanced adjustment.
- If set to "Off," the image is displayed in the preset color of the LCD panel (Gain: 100 for each RGB channel).
- When the gain is changed, the color temperature setting changes to "Off."
Gamma
Settings: "1.8" / "2.0" / "2.2" / "2.4"
Adjusts the gamma.
While the brightness of the monitor varies depending on the video level of the input signal, the variation rate is not directly proportional to the input signal. Maintaining the balance between the input signal and brightness of the monitor is referred to as Gamma correction.
Note
- If "sRGB" is selected for the color mode, "sRGB" is displayed for the gamma value.
- If "Paper" is selected for the color mode, "Paper" is displayed for the gamma value.
Advanced Settings - Overdrive
Settings: "Enhanced" / "Standard" / "Off"
This function allows you to set the overdrive intensity based on the use of the monitor.
Image lag can be reduced by using the "Enhanced" setting when displaying moving images.
Advanced Settings - Hue
Settings: "-50" – "50"
Adjusts the hue.
Note
- Using this function may prevent some color gradations from being able to be displayed.
Advanced Settings - Saturation
Settings: "-50" – "50"
Adjusts the color saturation.
Note
- Using this function may prevent some color gradations from being able to be displayed.
- The minimum value (-50) changes the screen to monochrome.
Advanced Settings - Gain
Settings: "0" – "100"
The brightness of each red, green, and blue color component is referred to as Gain. The hue of "white" can be changed by adjusting the gain.
Note
- Using this function may prevent some color gradations from being able to be displayed.
- The gain value changes according to the color temperature.
- When the gain is changed, the color temperature setting changes to "Off."
Reset
Resets any color adjustments for the currently selected color mode back to the default settings.
Signal
Sets the details regarding the input signal, such as the screen size.
- For DVI input
- For D-Sub input
Functions that can be adjusted differ depending on the input signal.
✓: Adjustable, -: Not adjustable
Function | Input Signal | |
|---|---|---|
DVI | D-SUB | |
Sharpness | ✓ | ✓ |
Analog Adjustment | - | ✓ |
Sharpness
Settings: "Off" / "1" / "2"
When a low-resolution image is displayed, the text and lines of the image may appear blurry. This blurriness can be reduced by configuring the settings for sharpness.
Note
- For some display resolutions, it is not necessary to configure the settings for sharpness. ("Sharpness" cannot be selected.)
Analog Adjustment - Auto Screen Adjust
Screen flickering, display position, and size can be adjusted automatically. Selecting "Auto Screen Adjust" displays a message. Select "Yes" to enable this function.
Note
- The automatic screen adjustment function works correctly when an image is fully displayed over the entire displayable area of the screen. It does not work properly in the following cases:
- When an image is only displayed on part of the screen (computer startup screen, etc.)
- When a black background (wallpaper, etc.) is used
Also, this function may not work properly with some graphic boards. - When a signal is input into the monitor for the first time or when a resolution or vertical/horizontal scan frequency that has not been used before is set, the monitor will adjust automatically (only for signals with a resolution of 800 x 600 (SVGA) or higher).
Analog Adjustment - Auto Range Adjust
The signal output level can be automatically adjusted to enable display of all color gradations (0 to 255). When you select "Auto Range Adjust," a message will appear. Select "Yes."
Analog Adjustment - Clock
Flickering of vertical lines or part of the screen can be minimized.
Note
- It is easy to overlook the point where the setting is suitable, so please finely adjust.
Analog Adjustment - Phase
Flickering or bleeding of the screen as a whole can be minimized.
Note
- Flickering or bleeding may not fully disappear, depending on the PC and graphics board you are using.
- If vertical stripes appear on the screen after completing the setting, adjust "Clock" again.
Analog Adjustment - Hor. Position / Ver. Position
The display position (horizontal, vertical) of the screen can be adjusted.
Note
- The number of pixels and the pixel positions of the LCD monitor are fixed, so there is one correct display position for images. Position adjustment is for adjusting an image to the correct position.
Preferences
The monitor settings can be configured to suit your usage environment or preferences.
Auto Input Detection
Settings: "On" / "Off"
This function automatically recognizes the connector through which PC signals are input, and displays images on the screen accordingly.
- "On"
- When the monitor is connected to multiple PCs, if a specific PC enters power saving mode or no signals are input to the monitor, the connector is automatically changed to another one to which signals are input.
- "Off"
- To be set to this when manually selecting input signals. Select the input signal to display using the operation switch (
) on the front of the monitor. For details, see Switching Input Signals.
Note
- This product automatically recognizes the connector through which PC signals are input, and displays images on the screen accordingly regardless of whether this function is set to On or Off.
- When this function is set to "On," the monitor only enters the power saving mode when signals are not input from any PC.
Menu Rotation
Settings: "0°" / "90°"
If you purchased the free mount specification model and the monitor is used in a portrait position, the direction of the Setting menu can also be changed.
Note
- Check whether the cables are connected properly.
- It is necessary to configure the settings of the PC to use the monitor in a portrait position. For details, refer to our web site.
