Adjusting the Monitor Picture Optimisation The easiest way to obtain an optimal picture is by using the monitor’s AUTO button. This only works reliably if the com- puter’s graphics adaptor is set to use one of the monitor’s fac- tory modes (see Table 1 in the previous chapter) and if you are displaying an appropriate full-screen test pattern.
D-SUB Power Composite Input Menu DVI-D The 8 buttons on the front of the DV200B monitor perform the following functions: Power Turns the monitor on or off. Auto Automatically adjusts and optimises the picture, based on the currently displayed image. For best results, run the test pattern program (Auto.exe, sup-...

Changes the position of the On Screen Display on the screen. Three items can be set: H. Position The horizontal position of the image. V. Position The vertical position of the image. OSD Time The idle time before the OSD switches off Language Select the language that is used by the On Screen Display.

Picture In Picture (PIP) Enables and configures the Picture-In-Picture window. The PIP window is used to display a video image from either the Com- posite video or the S-Video input, while computer graphics are being displayed on the main part of the screen, from either the D-Sub or the DVI-D input.
Manual Picture Adjustment - D-Sub Input This section applies to the D-Sub input, only, as it is the input connection for analogue RGB graphics, including VGA-type signals. Adjustments to the displayed image are made using the On-Screen Display’s Geometry submenu, described previ- ously in this chapter.

If you are still not satisfied with the result, try repeating the pro- cedure using a graphics signal that has a different refresh rate. Notes: For best results, you must use one of the factory modes. If the AUTO button is not working, or the NON PRESET MODE mes- sage is shown on the OSD you are not using one of the sup- ported modes.
Troubleshooting Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 1. The image is blurred, how can I get the best quality picture? Please read chapters 6 and 7 of this manual for information about selecting the correct type of video signal and adjusting the monitor for best performance. For computer graphics, set the computer’s graphics adaptor to display a resolution of 1600 pixels x 1200 pixels.
