For digital input, image setup is not required.

When you first use your monitor, you must perform Auto Setup for analog input. If you are using digital input, continue with the instructions on page

12. This procedure sets up your monitor to process the video signals from

your computer without image discoloration or smearing. After you perform Auto Setup, the settings are stored and used each time you turn on the monitor.

In order to optimize the displayed image a set-up utility is provided on the IBM Monitor CD. Operation of this utility is dependent on the operating system on your computer. You may choose to run AUTO SETUP for each operating system that you use. This means that if you sometimes use your monitor while running any version of Windows and sometimes also use it from within DOS (not a DOS window), you must run AUTO SETUP for both Windows and DOS. You may run versions of AUTO SETUP in any order.

Before you begin AUTO SETUP for your computer, make sure the computer video mode is set in the range of the supported screen resolution shown in the table on page 18.

You should perform AUTO SETUP for each screen mode you use.

Image Setup for analog input

Auto Setup

Before carrying out this section, it is very important that the correct monitor drivers have been installed.(See pages 5 and 7)

The Setup Utility included

on the setup CD displays a test pattern of dots. It does not replace or modify the display drivers.

The Auto Setup instructions

require the monitor to be warmed up for 15 minutes. This is not required for normal operation.

If your computer does not

run with the setup CD shipped with the monitor, refer to Manual Setup on page 11.

The AUTO SETUP process

only applies to the current screen mode. When a new mode is selected, repeat this section to reset the monitor.
