User modes
When using a video mode that is not one of the preset
modes, some fine tuning may be required to optimize the
display to your preference. Simply adjust the monitor
according to the adjustments instructions on pages 9 to 15.
The adjustments will be stored automatically and recalled
whenever that mode is used.
A total of 16 user-defined modes can be stored in memory.
If a 17th mode is entered, it will replace the first.
For less common modes, and modes that may evolve in the
future, the Digital Multiscan Technology of this monitor will
perform all of the complex adjustments necessary to ensure
a high quality picture for any timing in its frequency range.
However, due to the wide variety of video boards on the
market, it may be necessary for the user to fine tune the
vertical/horizontal size and centering.
Recommended horizontal timing conditions
Horizontal sync width should be more than 0.8 µsec.
Horizontal blanking width should be more than 2.7 µsec.

If necessary, adjust the user controls according to
your preference on pages 9 to 15.
When you set the INPUT switch to "AUTO"and
connect computers to both connectors
If you turn on or restart the computer you want to input a signal
from, or the computer is in power saving mode, the monitor may
automatically select another computer's signal. This is because no
signal is input to the monitor at that moment. If this happens,
select the signal using the INPUT switch.
For the customers using the Windows95
Even if you select SONY for the maker on the device select screen,
the model name (GDM-W900) may not appear. In this case, select
the DDC standard monitor.
