Maintenance
■ Screen Cleaning
Periodically clean the screen surface using ammonia-free cleaning wipes (Marshall Part No. V-HWP-K). A clean micro-fiber cloth
can also be used using only non-abrasive and ammonia-free cleaning agents. Do not u se paper towels. Paper towel fibers are
coarse and may scratch the surface of the polycarbonate faceplate or leave streaks on the surface. Antistatic and fingerprint
resistant cleaning agents are recommended. Do not apply excessive pressure to the scr een to avoid damaging the LCD.
■ Faceplate Dusting
Dust the unit with a soft, damp cloth or chamois. Dry or abrasive cloths may cau see lectrostatic charge on the surface, attracting
dust particles. Neutralize static electricity effects by using the recommended cleaning and polishing practice.
Warranty
Marshall Electronics warranties to the first consumer that this V-MD241 LCD monitor will , under normal use, be free from
defects in workmanship and materials, when received in its original container, for a p eriod of one year from the purchase date.
This warranty is extended to the first consumer only, and proof of purchase i sn ecessary to honor the warranty. If there is no
proof of purchase provided with a warranty claim, Marshall Electronics reserves the right not to honor the warranty set forth
above. Therefore, labor and parts may be charged to the consumer. This warranty does not apply to the product exterior or
cosmetics. Misuse, abnormal handling, alterations or modifications in design or construct ion void this warranty. It is considered
normal for a minimal amount of pixels, not to exceed three, to fail on the periphery o f the display active viewing area. Marshall
Electronics reserves the option to refuse service for display pixel failure if deemed uno btrusive to effective use of the monitor by
our technicians. No sales personnel of the seller or any other person is authorized to make any warranties other than those

Use the check field modes for monitor calibration or to analyze individual color compone nts of an image. In Monochrome
mode, all color is disabled and only a grayscale image is shown. In Blue, Green, and Red check field modes, only the selected
color will be shown.
Use the following procedure when calibrating the monitor to SMPTE color bars with the following procedure:
1. Allow the monitor to warm up for at least 5-10 minutes.
2. Display SMPTE split-field color bars on the monitor using an external source.
3. Enable Monochrome mode.
4. Locate the pluge pattern (super black, black, and gray bars) at the lower-right corner of th e screen. Adjust the
Brightness button until there is no visible difference between the super black and b lack bars, but the gray bar is
still visible.
5. Adjust the Contrast button until an even grayscale appears along the top ba rs.
6. Disable Monochrome mode.
7. Enable Blue Check Field mode and adjust the Color button so that the ou termost bars (white and blue) appear to
match in brightness.
8. Composite NTSC only: Adjust the Tint button until the third bar from the left (cyan) and the third bar from the
right (magenta) appear to match in brightness.
9. Disable Blue Check Field mode.
■
Ratio Settings
Use to switch between 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios.
• In 4:3 mode, images are scaled to fill the center 4:3 portion of the screen. With a 16:9 source, images will be centered
with a black letter-box added on the left and right sides.
• In 16:9 mode, images are scaled to a 16:9 portion of the screen , with a black letter-box a dded top and bottom.
Note: The aspect ratio setting is ignored when Pixel-to-Pixel mode is enabled.
14
■
Pixel-to-Pixel
Use this setting to enable Pixel-to-Pixel mode.
This Pixel-to-Pixel mode bypasses the monitor’s internal scaling function and displays incoming images in their native
resolution and aspect ratio, with a one-to-one mapping:
• For incoming formats smaller than the native resolution of the LCD panel, the image will be displayed in the center of
the screen using only the necessary LCD pixels. For example, NTSC images will occup y exactly 720 x 480 pixels. The
surrounding pixels will be black.

False Colors
This monitor has a false color filter to aid in the setting of camera exposure. As the cam era Iris is adjusted, elements of the
image will change color based on the luminance or brightness values. This enables p roper exposure to be achieved without
the use of costly, complicated external equipment. To best utilize this feature, you must understand the color chart below
and have a basic understanding of camera exposure. Normally, when shooting sub jectsl ike people, it is common practice to
set exposure of faces to the equivalent of approximately 56 IRE. The false color filter will show this area as the color PINK on
the monitor. Therefore, as you increase exposure (open the IRIS), your subject will chan ge color as indicated on the chart:
PINK, then GREY, then a few shades of YELLOW. Over exposed subjects (above 101 IRE ) on the monitor will be shown as RED.
In addition, underexposed subjects will show as DEEP-BLUE to DARK–BLUE, with clipped- blacks indicated with a FUCHSIA-like
color. Lastly, the color GREEN is used to indicate elements of the image that are app roximately 45 IRE. This represents a
‘neutral’ or ‘mid-level’ exposure commonly used for objects (not people).
