3D mode! ■ Please be aware of the following guidelines for viewing in 3D mode: Model C190S (glasses-free) Ideal viewing distance: 80 +/- 12 cm Ideal viewing angle: there are 3 sweet spots with ideal viewing results, the best one directly centered in front of the display, and one each on the left and right side of this position.
User Oriented System ▒ ■ In order to give the user the ideal solution for his/her needs, Dimen offers both glasses type and non-glasses type 3D stereoscopic LCDs in different sizes. ■ Dimen offers models with different input options, so that the user is able to connect to different kinds of image generating devices, such as DVD Players or Camcorders.
Set Up CHAPTER Safety Please read the following safety instructions carefully! They are designed to help prevent damage to property and harm to the user. Power Source ▒ ■ The monitor should be installed near an easily accessible outlet! ■ Please use the monitor only with the indicated voltage.

DVI Cable Connection ▒ 1 Use the DVI cable. 2 Connect the DVI input terminal to the DVI output terminal. Turn off the power of the monitor and other devices before connecting. After connecting, please tighten the two screws at both ends of the cable. Make sure that your graphic card supports DVI signal output.
Checking the Connection Turn on the monitor by pressing the monitor power button. Check whether the screen turns on when starting the PC. If the monitor is working normally, the LED signal lamp shines green (in 2D mode) or red (in 3D mode). If the LED signal lamp shines green or red and there is no image on the display, please check whether the screen setup of the PC is set at a resolution in the range of 640x480~1280x1024 and at a frequency in the range of 60Hz~75Hz.
Comparison of 2D and 3D Mode If the screen appears blurred or the LED signal lamp is red, the display is in 3D mode. For switching from 3D mode to 2D mode, press the [2D/3D] button at the OSD control on the front of the monitor.
2D Mode CHAPTER Adjustments in 2D Mode Please check whether the color of the LED signal lamp is green. If it is red, please switch into 2D mode by pressing the [2D/3D] button. Change of Input Channel ▒ When pressing the [▶] button in 2D mode, you can switch between linked analog or DVI input channels.
Brightness ▒ When pressing the [◀] or [▶] button in the first tab of the OSD (On Screen Display) menu, the brightness control scroll bar decreases or increases. After adjusting to the desired level, please press the [2D/3D] button to confirm your changes and leave the OSD menu. Without pressing the [2D/3D] button, the new setting is automatically confirmed after a few seconds and the OSD menu disappears.
Color ▒ In the second tab of the menu you can adjust the image color of the monitor. You can manually control colors and select color temperature settings. [Color control OSD screen] Image Type Mode ▒ The visual output of the monitor can be adjusted in the third tab of the menu. Choose between Normal, Cinema, Vivid, Nature, or Sports mode.
Screen Control ▒ In the screen control sub-menu you can adjust settings such as the screen size, the screen position, and phase control. This option is not available with DVI input. [Screen control OSD screen] Reset to Factory Setting ▒ Here you have the option to return to factory settings for all values in case you are not satisfied with your chosen changes.
3D Mode CHAPTER Viewing Angles in 3D Mode For best results in 3D mode, please sit at a distance of about 80 cm (+/- 12 cm) from the monitor. The 3D effect can be viewed from so called sweet spots. The ideal position is directly centered in front of the display.
Frame Sequential Format ▒ Image format in which the left eye image and the right eye image (hereinafter called L image and R image) are seen over the whole screen (in the resolution 1280x1024). Most graphic cards support this output. Even though this format has the advantage of not reducing the resolution of the image, it has the demerit that a slight flickering might be perceived, as the frame rate gets reduced.
Reverse Function In our natural environment we can judge whether an object is near or far because we observe the object with two eyes. Left and right eye look at same object from a slightly different angle and the cerebrum processes this into a perception of distance and creates a cubic effect. When watching 3D content on a real 3D monitor, the order of images for left and right eye is of importance for the perception of the 3D effect.
Brightness ▒ After moving to the brightness control tab by pushing the [MENU] button once more, the brightness can be adjusted by using the [◀] or [▶] button. After completing the adjustments you can safe and exit by pressing the [2D/3D] button. Without pressing the [2D/3D] button, the menu disappears and the setting is saved after a few seconds.
3D Graphic Card Settings CHAPTER Graphic Card Installation for 3D Games 3D games using DirectX 9 or above can usually be viewed in stereoscopic 3D. However this is only possible when using a graphic card that supports stereo drivers. Install the graphic card according to the manual of the graphic card manufacturer, and install the stereo driver supplied from the graphic card manufacturer.
Click "Advanced" and go to the main window of the NVIDIA control panel. Stereo Properties ▒ When the stereo driver is properly installed, you can see "Stereo Properties" on the left side of the box. Click "Stereo Properties" and the "Stereo Enable Mode" appears. 3D graphic card settings 23...

After choosing "Enabled" you can press the "Medical test" button to view a 3D test image. You will see this square in 2D mode. When switching to the “Frame sequential” format of the 3D mode, a smaller square will appear on the left side of this square as a stereoscopic image in front of the big square.
Advanced Stereo Properties ▒ The stereo function can be enabled by selecting a "Hot key". In the "Stereo Enable Mode" menu, choose "Enabled by Hot Key". Then click "Advanced Stereo Properties" in the left bar and choose your hot Keys for "Hot Key setup", "Separation"...
Stereo Setup and Test ▒ "Stereo parameters" can be set at "Stereo Setup & Test". 1280x1024 resolution and 60Hz frequency are recommended. Most 3D games are in "Frame Sequential" format. Click the [MENU] button to see if the 3D image format is selected as "Frame Sequential". If another format is selected, use the [◀] or [▶] button to select the correct format and use the [2D/3D] button to confirm and leave the menu.
Miscellaneous CHAPTER Troubleshooting Problem: When you switch your PC monitor from a CRT to our LCD monitor, there is no picture displayed on the screen. Check: Does the picture appear after a short while and after displaying the "Out of Range" signal? Act: Re-boot PC.

Problem: 3D is out of focus in subfield mode. Act: Some images in subfield mode have a gap between the left and right eye pictures. Due to this gap the 3D image might be out of focus. Please adjust the distance between the images by using the [◀] or [▶] button.

Appendix Explanations of 3D Image Formats Frame Sequential Format ▒ This format displays the images for left and right eye over the whole screen in sequence, one after another. (Since the frame rate is cut in half, you might experience some kind of blinking phenomenon, even though normally this is not noticeable to the human eye).
Sub-Field Format ▒ This 3D image format displays at the same time images for the left and right eye by placing them below each other. This format has the demerit that the vertical resolution decreases. [Photo without gap] [Photo with gap] Interlaced Stereo Format ▒...
