PRESET MODES
To reduce the need for adjustment for different modes, the monitor has default setting
modes that are most commonly used as given in the table below. If any of these display
modes are detected, the monitor can self adjusts the picture size and centering. For optimum
adjustment, the user is suggested to perform the Auto Setup under Windows “Full Screen”
pattern or using the pattern in the floppy disk provided. When none of the mode is
matched, the user can store their preferred modes in the user modes. The monitor is
capable of storing up to 9 user modes. The only condition to store as a user mode is the
new display information must have 1 KHz difference for horizontal frequency or 1 Hz for
vertical frequency or the sync signal polarities are different from the default modes.
