Monitor Adjustment - Video Source/Graphics Card - Eizo SCD 19102 Instructions For Use Manual

CAUTION
Fine adjustment for analog or digital inputs
• Fine adjustment for analog inputs should only be carried out via the two analog ports
(15-pin Sub-D and DVI-I).
• The digital input (DVI-D) does not require a fine adjustment since the signal display is
always optimum. With a fine adjustment, it is possible that gray scales are not dis‐
played.
Notes on adjustment
• Use the SMPTE test pattern.
• Adjust the brightness so that image sections with 5 % and 0 % gray value still visibly
contrast.
• Adjust the contrast so that image sections with 95 % and 100 % gray value still visibly
contrast. To adapt the luminosity to the ambient lighting, adjust the backlight luminance.
However, the factory setting for brightness is no longer maintained.
6.4.4 Monitor adjustment – video source/graphics card
As with all monitors, the LCD monitor also has certain limits, e.g. maximum resolution and
refresh rate.
• The graphics card must be set when using the monitor such that these limits are main‐
tained.

RGB sources (via 15-pin Sub-D or DVI-I connector) supply analog signals that are basically
intended for conventional CRT monitors and that are processed directly by them.
In contrast, the analog signals must be converted into digital signals for the LCD monitor by
a video digitizer. Depending on the source, cable length, and video mode (e.g. VGA, SVGA,
XGA), this conversion may cause certain deviations which cannot be corrected fully auto‐
matically by the monitor.
A manual fine adjustment is therefore necessary during which the monitor (or, more precise‐
ly, the video digitizer) is matched to the respective video source.
The fine adjustment includes, for example, setting the horizontal/vertical picture position and
the picture sharpness. This can be done via the OSD menu.
In order to optimize the monitor settings for the installed graphics card and guarantee that
all gray scales can be distinguished, we recommend that brightness and contrast are adjust‐
ed only for the analog inputs.
Please note that these settings have no impact on the calibration in the look up table:
