Choosing The Best Resolution

All Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) have a fixed resolution that is the same as
the maximum resolution that may be displayed on the LCD. In the case of the
DV201B the LCD resolution is 1600 x 1200 pixels. This is also known as the
“native” resolution of the monitor. Lower resolutions can be displayed at full
screen through an interpolation circuit. Because the lower resolution must be
expanded, the quality of the displayed image is not as good as that available
when the native resolution is displayed. For optimal performance from any LCD
monitor, you must use the monitor’s native resolution.
If you are using Windows 95, 98, 2000, Me, XP or NT 4.0, you can change the
resolution as follows:
1. Double-click the Display icon in the control panel.
2. From the Display Properties dialogue box, select the Settings tab.

Setting the Display Resolution

There is a slider on the right-hand side in the middle of the dialogue box
that alters the displayed resolution. Set the resolution to 1280 x 1024.
3. For Windows NT users only: select a refresh rate of 60Hz and click Te st .
A test pattern will be displayed. Make sure that there are no error
messages shown by the monitor. If an error message is displayed, check
the resolution and refresh rate settings or choose a different refresh rate.
4. Click OK to close Display Properties.

If you are using an Apple Macintosh, change the resolution by doing the
following:
MacOS 8.x/9.x
1. Click the Apple icon at the top, left corner of the screen, select Control
Panel and then select Monitors.
2. Select a resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels with between 60Hz and 75Hz
refresh rate.
3. If refresh rates of 60Hz or 75Hz are not available, click Recommended in
the Show drop-down box and change it to All. Select the resolution and
refresh rate as above.
A colour depth of either Thousands or Millions is recommended.
MacOS X
1. Click the Apple icon at the top, left corner of the screen, select System
Preferences and then select Displays.
2. Select a resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels with between 60Hz and 75Hz
refresh rate.
3. A colour depth of either Thousands or Millions is recommended.

Supported Graphics Modes and Refresh Rate Selection

There is no need to choose the highest possible refresh rate when using an LCD monitor. It is not technically possible for an LCD monitor to flicker. Even at a refresh rate of 60 Hz you will get an absolutely flicker-free image.
For best results, it is important that you set the graphics adaptor to use one of
the monitor’s preset display modes shown in Tab le 1 on the next page. Other
graphics signals may be displayed poorly or not at all. Note that the DV201B’s preset modes correspond to VESA or Apple Macintosh standard graphics signals for these resolutions. All recent models of graphics adaptor should be
10
10
able to support these modes. For the native resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels, for example, refresh rates of 60, 70 and 75 Hertz are supported.
With Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000 or XP you can change the refresh rate of the graphics signal as follows:
1. Double click the Display icon in the control panel.
2. From the Display Properties dialogue box, select the Settings tab and click the Advanced Properties button.
3. For Windows 95, 98, and ME select the Adapter tab, for 2000 and XP select the Monitor tab. The refresh rate selection field is located in the centre, at the bottom of the dialogue box.
4. Choose a refresh rate that corresponds with one of the factory modes from the table below.
5. Click Apply, and then OK twice.
Please Note:
Graphics modes that are not listed in the table may not be supported. For an optimal picture it is recommended that you choose a graphics mode
with a resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels that is listed in Table 1 on the next
page. Resolutions of 640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768 and 1280 x 1024 pixels are supported. The default setting may require some adjustment before use.
The displayed image may show some distortion or noise that can be caused by the signal from the VGA card if it does not correspond with the usual standard. This is not however, a problem with the monitor. If it is still visible after using the Automatic adjustment, you can usually improve the displayed image by manually adjusting the phase, horizontal position and pixel frequency settings using the "Geometry" menu. See Chapter 7,
Adjusting the Monitor, for more details.
When you shut Windows down you may see interference lines on your screen. This caused by the manner in which Windows controls the graphics card at this point and is normal with all LCD monitors.
To extend the service life of the product, we recommend that you use your computer's power management functions to turn the monitor off after extended idle periods.

Picture Optimisation

The easiest way to obtain an optimal picture is by using the Auto function in the OSD menu. This only works reliably if the graphics adaptor is set to use one of
the monitor’s factory modes (see Table 1 in the previous chapter) and if you
are displaying a suitable stationary image (such as the Windows desktop).
15
15
The monitor will remember the settings obtained by the auto calibration settings and use them whenever you turn the monitor on. Note that you may need to readjust the monitor if it is connected to a different computer or if the computer’s graphics adaptor is replaced.
If you are still not satisfied with the result, you can enhance the image by using
the monitor’s manual adjustment functions.

Manual Picture Adjustment

Adjustments to the displayed image and audio volume are made using the
On-Screen Display (OSD), and the buttons on the front of the monitor.
To manually adjust the image:
1. Display your operating system desktop
2. Open the OSD menu by pressing one of the Function keys on the monitor.
3. Press Fn or ◄ to select the Clock function.
4. Press or ◄ to increase or decrease the sampling clock to get the optimum picture. Look closely at the picture displayed, especially surrounding text and icons, for any movement or change. Adjust the Clock setting and see how this affects this “noise” or movement. Make sure that in correcting noise in one part of the screen the setting does not create it in another. You should, with careful adjustment, be able to obtain a picture with no visible noise in any section of the screen.
5. If some noise or distortion is still visible select Phase using the Fn or buttons.
6. With the Clock set to the optimal value adjust the Phase to further optimise the displayed image. You should now be able, with a combination of the Phase and Clock settings, to obtain a perfectly stable image.
7. Finalise the manual adjustment using the H. Position and V. Position functions
If you are still not satisfied with the result, try repeating the above procedure using a graphics signal that has a different refresh rate.
16
16
Please Note:
You must use one of the factory modes when manually adjusting the picture. If you are having difficulties generating a supported mode, ask your computer dealer or the distributor or manufacturer of your graphics card for assistance.
The procedures described in this chapter should be performed for every resolution and type of graphics signal that you wish to use. For example, if a particular application requires a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels, but all other applications use the monitor’s native resolution, you will need to display the test pattern and make adjustments twice.
The monitor will remember your settings and use them whenever you turn the monitor on. Note that you may need to re-adjust the monitor if it is connected to a different computer or if the computer’s graphics adaptor is replaced.

If so, remove the extension cable and check the displayed image. Has the image quality improved? Optimise the image using the procedures in chapter 7 with the extension cable removed. Reconnect the extension cable once the image has been optimised. Depending on the characteristics and type of the extension cable, some blurring or distortion may occur due to conduction losses of the extension cable. You can minimise these losses by using an extension cable with better conduction quality or with a built-in booster.

NON PRESET MODE appears there, please read chapter 6, Setting the Display Resolution and reset the graphics card to one of the monitor’s
supported graphics signals.
If the LED is orange the monitor is in power saving mode. Press a button
on the computer keyboard or move the mouse to wake the computer. If that does not help, check that the VGA cable is securely plugged into the computer. Also check the pins of the VGA cable’s connector. If any pins are bent or broken off, then contact your dealer (see Chapter 10 for details).
If the LED is not lit at all, check that the monitor is plugged into the power
supply mains socket and that the power switch is turned on. Check that the monitor’s power switch is also turned on.
