Setting the Timi ng Mode
Setting the computer’s timing mode is important for maximizing the quality
of the screen image and minimizing eye strain. The timing mode consists
of the screen resolution (ex. 1024 x 768) and the refresh rate (ex. 60 Hz or
vertical frequency). After setting the computer’s timing mode, use the OSD
(On Screen Display) controls to adjust the screen image.
For the best picture quality set your LCD display timing mode to:
1024 x 768 @ 60Hz.
To set the timing mode on a computer running Microsoft Windows:
1. Set the resolution: Right-click on the Windows desktop > Properties
> Settings > adjust the resolution.
2. Set the refresh rate: See your graphic card’s user guide for instructions.
Warning: Do not set the graphics card in your computer to exceed the
maximum refresh rate of 75 Hz; doing so may result in permanent damage
to your LCD display.

The following tips may help optimize your display:
• Adjust the computer’s graphics card so that it outputs a 1024 x 768 @ 60 Hz video
signal to the LCD display. (Look for instructions on “changing the refresh rate” in
the graphics card’s user guide.)
• If necessary, make small adjustments using H. POSITION and V. POSITION until
the screen image is completely visible. (The black border around the edge of the
screen should barely touch the illuminated “active area” of the LCD display.)
