Plug and Play allows the source computer's video card to query the display and send

the correct resolution. Most video cards work with Planar displays. For the few that

don't, you may need to turn off Plug and Play and manually specify the video card

settings based on the display's capabilities.

EDID Detailed Timing 1 is part of the Plug and Play information that informs the

source computer about the native resolution of the display. This field is set

automatically to the native resolution of the product. This value cannot be changed.

Analog computer video cards provide only vertical and horizontal frequencies.

Sometimes, this is not enough information for the display to properly detect the

signal. In certain cases, a display receiving such "ambiguous" signal modes could

misinterpret the resolution to be any of three different modes. For example,

1024 x 768, 1280 x 768, and 1360 x 768 all have the same respective horizontal and

vertical frequencies but represent different aspect ratios, 4 x 3, 15 x 9, and 16 x 9,

respectively. By specifying the correct source detection mode, the display can

correctly interpret the signal and display the incoming image in the proper aspect

ratio. The default preferred source detection is 16 x 9. This is the native aspect ratio of

this display. If you are attempting to display a 4 x 3 signal and it is not working, try

changing the preferred source detection to 4 x 3.

Frame lock causes the display to synchronize its vertical refresh timing with that of

the incoming source. This prevents frame tearing or frame dropping. To frame lock,

the incoming signal must be within the refresh parameters of the display itself, which

is from 48 Hz to 62 Hz.
