Monochrome Mode
Use this setting to enable monochrome mode. Only the luminance of the image will be displayed as a grayscale
picture.
■
Blue-Only Mode
Use this setting to enable Blue-Only mode. This mode displays only the blue color component of the image, switching
off the red and green components. Use this mode 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 the internal generator or an external source.
3.Enable Monochrome mode.
4.Locate the pluge pattern (super black, black, and gray bars) at the lower-right corner of the screen. Adjust the Brightness knob until there is
no visibledifference between the super black and black bars, but the gray bar is still visible.
5.Adjust the Contrast knob until an even grayscale appears along thetop bars.
6.Disable Monochrome mode.
7.Enable Blue-Only mode and adjust the Color knob so that the outermost bars (white and blue) appear to match in brightness.
8.Composite/S-Video NTSC only: Adjust the Tint knob until the third bar from the left (cyan) and the third bar from the right (magenta)appear to
match inbrightness.
9.Disable Blue-Only mode.
■
Pixel-to-Pixel™ Mode
Use this setting to enable Pixel-to-Pixel™ mode.
This 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 (1024 x 768), the image will be
displayed in the center of the screen using only the necessary LCD pixels. For example, NTSC or PAL images will
occupy exactly 720 x 486 or 720 x 576 pixels respectively. The surrounding pixels will be black.
•For incoming formats exceeding 1024 x 768 pixels, only the center 1024 x 768 of the incoming image will
displayed occupying the whole screen, with the remainder of the picture cropped. For example, 1080 and 720
formats will both be cropped to 1024 x 768 and displayed full-screen.
Note: Pixel-to-Pixel™ mode will utilize the entire screen (1024 x 768) regardless of the aspect ratio setting. Pixel-toPixel™ mode is not available when using the VGA or DVI inputs.

Aspect Ratio Settings
Use to switch between 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios.
As the V-R151DP-AFHD monitor has a native resolution of 1024 x 768 RGB pixels, incoming images are automatically
scaled to fit the screen:
•In 4:3 mode, images are scaled up or down to fill the entire 4:3 screen (1024 x 768).
•In 16:9 mode, images are scaled to fill the maximum 16:9 portion of the screen (1024 x 576), with black bars filling
the remainder of the screen.
4:3 Mode
Note: The aspect ratio setting is ignored when Pixel-to-Pixel™ mode is enabled.
■
Scanning Modes
Use this setting to switch between normal and underscan modes:
•In normal scan mode, the active portion of the video signal is displayed on the screen, with 0% overscan.
•In underscan mode, area around the active video area is displayed on the screen, resulting in blanking intervals
being shown around the perimeter of the active image. Use this mode to clearly view the edges of the active video
area.
■
Delay Modes
Use this setting to enable one of three delay modes (H/V, H, V):
•In H/V delay mode, both horizontal sync and vertical sync are delayed, resulting in both horizontal and vertical
blanking periods being shown on the screen.
•In V delay mode, vertical sync is delayed so that the vertical blanking period is displayed on screen.
16:9 Mode
•In H delay mode, horizontal sync is delayed so that the horizontal blanking period is displayed on the screen.
Note: Delay modes are only available in normal scan mode.
