CHAPTER2: Setting Up Your Monitor
Ergonomic guideline s
The recommended screen positioning is based upon the
following guidelines. These guidelines are based on available
scientific literature and published standards.
Screen height
The recommended screen height f or displa ys (e xcept in spec ial
circumstances, such as for bifocal use) is that the top of the
display shoul d be set a t or slig htly bel ow (about 1 inch or
25mm) your eye level while you are sitting in a com fortable
working posture. This guideline places the cent er of the s creen
at an ideal 15° to 20° viewing angle for most desktop d isp l ays.
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 your line of sight is
perpendicular to the screen. This angle creates the most
consistent viewing distance when scanning fr om the top of the
screen to the bottom. You may need to adjust lighting to avoid
screen glare when the screen is tilted upward.
Screen distance fr om user
The screen should first be placed at arm’s length f rom the user,
then adjusted back and forth to suit individual preference.

Color d epth is the number of colors your computer uses to
display images on your monitor. Most images look best
displayed wit h the maximum number of colors av ailable. If the
color in your images seems “false” or “jumpy,” especially after
you have played a game or run a video-intensive program,
check the color depth setting and return it to the highest color
setting, if necessar y.

Screen resol utio n 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 the monitor.
Important
To use the monitor’s full (highest) resolution (2560× 1600), you must use

HDCP F AQs
What is HDCP and how do I troubleshoot it?
•High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a
specification develope d by the Intel
protect digital entertainment content that uses a digital
visual interface (DVI) , including HDMI connections.
HDCP encrypts the transmission of digital content
(signal) between the video source (comput er, D VD player ,
or set-top box) and the digital display (monitor, digital
telev ision, or projec t or). HDCP is not designed to pre v ent
copying or recordin g of digit al content, but only to
prote ct th e i nteg rit y o f th e c on ten t as tra ns mi tted.
50
®
Corpora tion to
www.gateway.com
How does HDCP work?
•Implementation of HDCP requires a license obtainable
from the Digital Content Protection, LLC, which then
issues a set of unique sec re t de vice keys to all author iz ed
device s. During a uthenticati on, the r ecei ving de v ice onl y
accepts content after it acknowledges the keys. To
further prevent stealing of the data or line tapping, the
transmitter and receiver generate a shared secret value
that is constantly chec ked throughout the transmission.
After authentication is established, the transmitter
encrypts the data and sends it to the receiver for
decryption.
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 watc hing 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 w atch t he DVD mov ie. How ev er ,
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.
My computer has an HD-DVD or Blu-Ray DVD player and I
receive an error message when I try to play an HD or
Blu-Ray DVD
•This issue occurs when you have you r PC desktop set to
2560 x 1600 (Dual-Link mo de) reso lution . Currently, PC
graphics cards are incapable of negotiating the HDCP
key while in Dual-Link mode. HDCP key negotiation is
required to play consumer High Definitions DVDs. To
resolve this issue, set your Windows desktop resolution
to 1920 x 1200 before playing your HD or Blu-Ray DVD.
For more information about adjusting settings in
Windows, see “Changing Windows screen settings” on
page 38.
What is the cause if a movie starts and then slowly fades
to sta tic?
•The receiving device is not HDCP compatible or it is not
negotiating correctly. Restart the video source and
re-plug all video cables from the source to the monitor.
How do I know if a component is HDCP compliant?
•If the video source device does not have a DVI or HDMI
connection, it is not HDCP compliant.

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 user guide or the help tools
within your video device’s software.
•You can also opt imize the vid eo scali ng settings in the
monitor. Touch (Menu), (Main Menu),
(Video Adjust) , then touch ( Video Scaling). To
change to the mode you want, choose Wide, Zoom, or
1:1 modes.
When I try t o use Pictu re in Pictur e (PIP), why can I not select
other video inputs?
•PIP is availab le o nly when 2560 × 1600 PC vide o over
dual-link DVI is selected as the primary video source.
Can I connect my game console to this monitor?
•Yes. Using optional video cables you can connect your
game console directly to the monitor. Use Component
Video (YPbPr) or HDMI if yo ur game cons o l e s upports it ,
because this results in the best picture quality.
CHAPTER4: Troubleshooting

When playing D VDs or wat ching video sourc es, I sometimes
see random black and white noise at the t o p of t he pic tur e.
•This information is known as the Vertical Blanking
Interval or VBI data. This is typically where information
such as sub-titles or closed captioning text is stored on
a video frame by frame basis. To remove this
information, Touch (Menu), (Main Menu),
(Video Adjust), then touch (Overscan) to se t t his
option to enabled. The video will slightly zoom to
eliminate this effect.
