Selecting a supported display mode

The display mode the monitor uses is controlled by the computer. Therefore, refer to your computer documentation for details on how to change display modes.

The image size, position and shape might change when the display mode changes. This is normal and the image can be readjusted using automatic image setup and the image controls.

Unlike CRT monitors, which require a high refresh rate to minimize flicker, LCD or Flat Panel technology is inherently flicker-free.

Note: If your system has previously been used with a CRT monitor and is currently configured to a display mode outside the range of this monitor, you may need to reattach the CRT monitor temporarily until you have re-configured the system; preferably to at 60 Hz, which is the Native Resolution Display mode.

Understanding power management

Power management is invoked when the computer recognizes that you have not used your mouse or keyboard for a user-definable period. There are several states as described in the table below.

For optimal performance, switch off your monitor at the end of each working day, or whenever you expect to leave it unused for long periods during the day.

LCD wall-mounting instructions:

1. The gap between the installation holes on the back of

the LCD is 100*100 mm. There should have corresponding position of holes on the wall-mounting plate.

2. The installation holes on the back of the LCD should be of

regular M4 thread. Select the corresponding screws to use.

3. The effective depth of the threaded holes on the back of
