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,” especially aft er y ou have played a game or run a video-intensi v 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 screen components
(such as icons and menu bars) can be displayed on your monitor.

Energy declar ation
When connected to a computer that supports the VESA Display Power Management Signaling
(DPMS) Protocol, your monitor can conserve significant energy by reducing power consumption
during periods of non-use. When your computer goes into the energy saving mode, your monitor
will then enter the Active Off mode (sleep) . In the Active Off mode the Power LED will still s how
orange.
Use these conventions and the power can be reduced to the following levels:

• You must adjust the operating system’s display settings to match your monitor’s optimal
(native) 1680× 1050 setting. For information on adjusting settings in Windows, see
“Changing color depth and screen resolution” on page 10.
You do not see 1680× 1050 available in the Windows display control panel.
• Make sure that your video card can display at 1680× 1050 resolution.
• This may be caused by older video drivers on your computer. See t he Gateway support Web
site (www.gateway.com) for updated video drivers for your computer. You can also go

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.
When you display video from a component video source, the video looks overly compressed.
.
• See your video device’s user manual to a dju s t t h e 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 you read your video device’s user guide or the help tools
within your video device’s software.
You see black bars on left and right of the video.
• Touc h Menu, Vi deo Adjust, then touch Video Scaling. To fill more of the screen,
choose Wide, Zoom, 1:1 (normal), or Panoramic modes.
When you try to use Picture in Picture (PIP) component video at 480p, 720p, or 1080i, either no video is displayed or you see corrupted video.
• This is a normal operation of y our monitor . If y ou want t o vie w component video in PIP, adjust
the video output of your external device to 480i.

You need to know whether you can connect the HDMI output of your external video device to the DVI port of your monitor.
Important
Although the HDMI interface supports audio, no audio is sent to your monitor. You
must separat el y con nec t t he audio o utput of your v i deo de vic e t o an ex t ernal au dio ampli fier.
• Yes, you can. When using the digital connection, your video content remains completely
digital from your external video device (such as a cable box, HD DVR, or DVD player). This
results in a superior digital image. Also, in this configuration the PIP can support the input
of all HD resolutions.
Gaming
You need to know whether you can connect your game console to this monitor.
• Y es, y ou can, if y our game console supports HDMI or component video. Us ing optional video
cables, you can connect your game console directly to your monitor. If your game console
supports Component (YPbPr), this results in the best picture quality.
Speake r bar does not work
I installed the speaker bar, but no sound is coming out of the speakers.
• Make sure t hat the speak er ba r powe r cord is plugged into t he speak er bar po we r connect or
under your monitor.
• Check the position of the audio input selection switch on the left side of the speaker bar.
• If you are using HDMI as the audio and video source, make sure that the HDMI audio cable
is connected to the HDMI audio output on your monitor . Als o make sur e that your HDMI audio
source is set to PCM or Analog audio.

I checked all the connections, but I still do not get any sound.
• Your headphone/speaker jack may have been muted using Windows sound controls. To
check your headphone/speak er mute setti ngs, click the speak er icon in the Windows ta skbar ,
or click Start, Control Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices, the Volume tab, then click
Advanced. For optimum volume control using the speaker bar, we recommend that you
set the Windows volume mid-way between the lowest and highest setting.
I want to plug in my headphones, but there is a headphone jack on both sides of the speaker bar. Which should I use?
• You can use either j ack or bo th jack s at the same t ime.
The sound comin g from the speakers soun ds distorted.
• Turn down the volume until the distortion disappears.
• Check the audio output volume of the sound device the speaker bar is connected to. If the
audio device’s output volume is set too high, the speaker bar’s sound may always be
distorted. To adjust the audio device’s output volume, see the device’s user guide. To adjust
the volume in WindowsXP, click the speaker icon in the Windows taskbar, or click Start,
Control Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices, the Volume tab, then click Advanced. For
optimum volume control using the speaker bar, we recommend that you set the Windows

HDCP
Using Your Gateway Flat-Pan el Monitor
What is HDCP and how should you troubleshoot it?
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a specification developed by the Intel®
Corporation to protect digital entertainment content that uses a digital visual interface (DVI).
HDCP encrypts the transmission of digital content (signal) between the video source (computer,
DVD player, or set-top box) and the digital display (monitor, digital television/DTV, or projector).
HDCP is not designed to prevent copying or recording of digital content, but only to protect the
integrity of the content as transmitted.
You see “noise” or “trash” on the 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.
How HDCP works.
• 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 .
You lose the signal to the display while watching a movie on a HDCP-equipped component.
• The component must be restarted to establish renegotiation.
A movie starts, but then slowly fades to static.
• The receiving device is not HDCP compatible or it is not negotiating correctly. Restart the
How to determine whether a component is HDCP compliant.
• If the video source device does not have a DVI or HDMI connection, it is not HDCP compliant.
DCDi by F aroudja
What is DCDi by Faroudja?
DCDi
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 any of the gaps that need smoothing.
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.
