Page 11: Optimising Performance
Optimising performance "Plug and Play" Monitor implementation of the VESA DDC standard offers the capability of automatic optimisation of monitor performance (“Plug and Play”). In order for automatic optimisation to be effective, the attaching computer must also be hardware and software enabled for DDC operation. - Page 12 How to change display modes Your operating system manual defines the procedure you should follow to change the default display mode. After selecting the optimum mode you need not perform this operation again unless you change your computer or software configuration. Notes: 1.

Page 13: Adjusting The Image
The image is already optimised for many display modes. However, the controls can be used to adjust the image to your liking. IBM recommends that the factory preset image size position and shape is used when operating with a display mode listed in Table 1. - Page 14 8 (brightness) or 9 (contrast). You can adjust the screen image. The pictures show how the image is affected. IBM recommends that the contrast is adjusted so that white text on a dark background does not appear to “bloom”. (The edges of the characters should remain sharp).

Page 17: Disabling Ddc
Disabling DDC As previously mentioned, DDC offers “Plug and Play” ease of setup to the user. To take advantage of DDC requires suitable hardware and software inside your computer and it is possible that you will be attaching your monitor to a computer that does not support DDC. In most cases, this does not cause a problem other than the fact that the screen mode will need to be optimised manually. -
