Tip
To r otate t he screen while the optional speaker bar is at tached, first tilt the scr een back
for more clearance between the speaker bar and the tabletop.
You can rotate the screen clockwise 90° to change between landscape and portrait views. For
information on automatically rotating the display image as you manually rotate the monitor, see
“Using landscape and portrait modes” on page17.
Tip
For the brighte st viewing angle, adjust the screen so that you are viewing it from
within a 160° angle of the screen. W hen the display is rotated to portrait mode, the
side-to-side viewing angle may be reduced.
Ergonomic guideline s
The recommen ded sc reen positi oning is ba sed up on the f o llow ing guidel ine s. The s e guideline s ar e
based on available sci entific literature and published standards.
Screen height
The recommended screen height for di splays (except in special ci rcumstances, such as for bi focal
use) is that the top of the display should be set at or slightly below (about 1 inch or 25mm) your
eye level while you are sitting in a comfortable working posture. This guideline places the center
of the screen at an ideal 15° to 20° viewing angle for m ost desktop displays. If the display has
multiple users, the screen height should be easily adjustable to accommodate each user’s height
and preference.
Screen tilt
The screen should be tilted so yo ur line of sight is perpendicular to the screen. This angle creates
the m ost co ns iste nt viewi ng di st anc e w hen sc an nin g fro m th e to p of t he scree n to th e bo ttom .
You may need to adjust lighting to avoid screen glare when the screen is tilted upward.

Changing W indow s sc reen set tings
Adjusting the color depth and screen area ar e two of t he most basic display set ting s you ma y need
to change. You can also adjust settings such as the screen background and screen saver.
Changing color dept h and sc reen re solution
Color depth and screen resolution are two of the most basic monitor settings you may need to
change to suit your needs.
Color depth is the number of colors your computer uses to display images on your monitor. Most
images look best displayed with the maximum number of colors available. If the color in your
images seems “false” or “jump y,” especiall y af t e r y ou ha ve played a game or run a video-intensiv e
program, check the color depth setting and return it to the highest color setting, if necessary.
Screen resol uti on is the number of pixels (individual colored dots) your computer uses to display
images on your monitor. The higher the resolution, the more information and scr e en components
(such as icons and menu bars) can be displayed on the monitor.

Using t he speak er bar
Important
If you connect the speaker bar to the monitor while the monitor is turned on, the
speaker bar will not initialize and will not work correctly. If this happens, turn the monitor
off, then back on to enable the speaker bar.
To turn on the speaker bar:
• The speaker bar is alway s on. If you connect ed the speaker bar by f ollow ing the instructions
in “Setting up the optional speak er bar” on page 5, the speaker bar receiv es power constantl y
from the monitor’s speaker bar power connector.
To use headphones :
• Plug headphones into either of the speak er bar’s headphone jacks. The speaker bar’s v olume
is muted, and sound is played through the connected headphones. You can connect
headphones to both headphone jacks, and sound plays out of both sets of headphones.
P ower man agement
Energy declar ation
When connected to a computer that supports the VESA Display Power Management Signaling
(DPMS) Protocol, the monitor can conserve significant energy by reducing power consumption
during periods of non-use. When your computer goes into the energy saving mode, the monitor
will then enter the Active O ff mode (sleep) . In the Active Off mode the Power LED will still show
orange.
Use these convention s and the power can be reduced to the following levels :
VESA State LED Indi cator Power Consumption
On Blue <150W
Standby Orange <2 W
Off Purple <1 W
To “wake” the monitor when it is in Standby/ActiveOff mode, move the mouse or press any
keyboard key. You can change the monitor’s power management settings using the Windows
Control Panel. For more information, see your computer’s User Guide.

What is DCDi® by Faroudja?
DCDi® by F aroudja is a vi deo mode algorithm t hat stands f or Direct ional Corr elation De-Inter lacing.
It was initially designed for fast-action video-based material. Its general purpose is to reduce
jagged edges along diagonal lines caused by interpolation. Utilizing this algorithm, DCDi does not
simply weave together two fields of video that match. DCDi creates new information through
interpolation which “smoot hs” t he diagonal edges. DCDi constantly monitors edge transitions and
fills in a ny of the gaps tha t need smoo thing.

more popular. Check the game’s Web site for updates. You can also consult the following
Web site for specific settings and options to configure older games to support widescreen:

Some adjustments may require you to make changes to the Windows System Registry. We
recommend making a comp lete system backup before changing the System Registry.
Why do I see “noise” or “trash” on th e screen?
.
• When your display ’s digital capabilities exceed a digital broadcast signal, the signal is
increased (up-converted) to match the display capabilities. Up-converting can cause “noise”
or “trash.” The signal on DVI-D is HDCP encoded. Stop and restart the source to allow
renegotiation.
What is HDCP and how do I troubleshoot it?
• High-bandwidt h Di gita l C ont e nt Pr otection (HDCP) is a specif ication d e veloped by the Intel®
Corporation t o pr otec t digit al enter tainment cont ent that u se s a digital v isual int er f ace (D VI).
HDCP encrypts the transmission of digital content (signal) between the video source
(computer , DVD pla yer, or set-top box) and t he digital display (monitor , digital t elev ision/DT V ,
or projector). HDCP is not designed to prevent copying or recording of digital content, but
only to pr otect the in teg rit y o f th e c onte nt as tran sm itte d.
Video/Display
How does HDCP work?
• Implementation of HDCP requires a license obtainable from the Digital Content Protection,
LLC, which then issues a set of unique secret device keys to all authorized devices. During
authentication, the receiving device only accepts content after it acknowledges the keys. To
further prevent stealing of the data or line tapping, the transmitter and receiver generate
a shared se cret value tha t is co nstan tly checked throu ghout the trans missio n. After
authentication is established, the transmitter encrypts the data and sends it to the receiver
for de cr y pt io n .
What happens if I lose signal to the display while watching a movie on a HDCP-equipped component?
• The component must be restarted to establish renegotiation.
For example, while watching a movie on a HDCP-enabled DVD player, you change the
receiving device (DTV, monitor, or projector) input to watch broadcast TV, then change the
input back to watch the DVD movie. However, you are unable to watch the movie. This is
because when the input was changed, the receiver lost the HDCP signal. Restart the
HDCP-enabled DVD player to allow renegotiation.
What is the cause if a movie starts and then slowly fades to static?
• The receiving device is not HDCP compatible or it is not negotiating correctly. Restart th e
video source and re-plug all video cables from the source to the TV.
How do I know if a component is HDCP compliant?
• If the video sour ce device does not have a DVI or HDMI connection, it is not HDCP compliant.
When I display video from composite, or component, why does the video look overly compressed?
• See your video device user manual to adjust the video or TV format output to 16:9. Setting
this option to 4:3 results in compressed video. This is done differently on all brands of video
devices, so it is important that y ou r ead your v ideo de vice u ser guide or the help t ools wit hin
your video devi ce’s software.

I see black bars on left and right of the v ideo. Can I stret ch the video to fit more of the screen?
• Touch (Menu), (Vi deo Ad just ), then (Video Scaling) to fill more of the screen.
Choose Wide, Zoom, or Panoramic modes.
Why when I try t o use P icture in Pi cture (P IP) co mponent vid eo at 480p, 7 20p, or 1 080i, eithe r no video is displayed or I see corrupted video?
• This is a normal operation of the monitor. If you want to view component video in PIP, adjust
the video output of your exte rnal device to 480i.
Can I connect my game console to this monitor?
• Y e s. U sing optional video cables y ou can connect your game console direc tl y to t he monitor.
If your game console supports HDMI or Component (YPbPr), this results in the best picture
quality.
