Display
Wizard
You'll need to calibrate your display to get the most accurate color. We encourage you to use the
simple tuning process by selecting the Start Wizard button. This process involves a series of steps
that will let you tune your display and save the settings.
1. Choose the Start Wizard button.
2. Follow the steps outlined in this process.
3. Save your settings for future use.
Resolution
Your display will look best if you choose the Preferred resolution. You can use the buttons on the
right to set the resolution.
If you don't select the Preferred resolution you'll see vertical or horizontal banding. Using the
Patterns button, you'll be able to see the optimal resolution for your display. Selecting an alternative
resolution can affect the display's clarity.
Brightness
Improperly adjusted brightness will result in a loss of detail in darker image areas. Adjust the
brightness for the best possible picture quality.
1. Use the Patterns button to turn on the adjustment image.
2. Lower the brightness until the dark stripes blend together.
3. Slowly raise the brightness until each of the dark stripes become visible.
Try to achieve an equal separation. The darkest should always remain black.
Contrast
Adjust the Contrast (use the slider) to keep details in lighter image areas.
1. Use the Patterns button to bring up the adjustment images.
2. Raise the Contrast until the numbers 1 and 2 are no longer visible.
3. Slowly lower the Contrast to make the numbers 2 and 3 reappear. The number 1 should remain barely visible.
Image Setup
Your display's timing needs to be synchronized with the video signal. Choose Auto Setup first. If the
vertical bands are still visible, you'll need to adjust the Pitch.
To adjust the Clock manually, use the slider bar to the right. Try to make the vertical bands
disappear.
To adjust the Phase manually, use the slider bar to the right. Adjust to the brightest setting to
minimize movement on the screen.
Geometry
Position
Use the Position buttons to center the image on your display. Using this tool, you can position the
image up, down, left, or right.
1. Use the Patterns button to bring up the adjustment images.
2. Use the Up/Down buttons to center the image vertically.
3. Use the Left/Right buttons to center the image horizontally.
Color
Calibrate
Your display needs to be properly calibrated in order for it to produce the widest range of colors
accurately. Calibration should always take place as the last tuning step in the process. Remember
to recalibrate any time you make individual adjustments to image quality or whenever you move
your display to a new location.
1. Make all other necessary adjustments to image quality first.
2. Press Show Me to learn how to use the calibration tools.
3. Finally, press Start to begin the calibration process.
White Point
Your choice of white point will affect your display's overall color fidelity as well as its ability to
produce natural looking flesh tones. For the most accurate colors choose Normal then Calibrate
your display.
