2.5 Precautions when Viewing 3D Video

z The 3D effect may be experienced differently depending on the viewer. You may not notice the 3D

effect at all if you have a prescription for one eye that is very different from the other eye.

z When viewing a 3D video under a fluorescent lamp or 3-wavelength lamp, you may notice a small

amount of screen flickering.

z Interference may cause the 3D glasses to malfunction if there is any other 3D product or

electromagnetic device (a microwave or a device that uses 2.4 Ghz-bandwidth frequency such as an

Internet router) turned on nearby. If an unintended operation of the 3D glasses occurs, it is best to

remove other electromagnetic devices or wireless communication devices nearby.

z Visually-sensitive viewers may notice a slight screen flickering when viewing bright images in 50Hz,

3D video.

z Right after the monitor powers on, the left and right sides of 3D pictures may overlap more than

Appendix

Terminology

OSD(On Screen Display)

On screen display (OSD) allows you to configure on-screen settings to optimize the picture quality as

required. It allows you to change the screen brightness, tint, size and many other settings using

menus displayed on the screen.

Gamma

The Gamma menu adjusts the grey scale that represents middle tones on the screen. Adjusting the

brightness brightens the whole screen, but adjusting Gamma only brightens the medium brightness.

Grey scale

Scale refers to levels of color intensity that show variations of color change from darker areas to

brighter areas on the screen. Changes to the screen brightness are expressed with black and white

variation, and grey scale refers to the medium area between black and white. Changing the grey scale

through Gamma adjustment will change the medium brightness on the screen.

Scanning rate

Scanning rate, or refresh rate, refers to the frequency of screen refreshes. Screen data is transmitted

as it refreshes to display an image, although the refreshing is invisible to the naked eye. The number of

screen refreshes is called scanning rate and is measured in Hz. A scanning rate of 60Hz means that

the screen refreshes 60 times per second. The screen scanning rate depends on the performance of

the graphics cards in your PC and monitor.

Horizontal Frequency

Characters or images displayed on the monitor screen consist of numerous dots (pixels). Pixels are

transmitted in horizontal lines, which are then arranged vertically to create an image. The horizontal

frequency is measured in kHz and represents how many times horizontal lines per second are

transmitted and displayed on the monitor screen. A horizontal frequency of 85 means that the

horizontal lines that make up an image are transmitted 85 000 times per second, and the horizontal

frequency is indicated in 85kHz.

Vertical Frequency

One image is made of numerous horizontal lines. The vertical frequency is measured in Hz and

represents how many images can be created per second by those horizontal lines. A vertical

frequency of 60 means that an image is transmitted 60 times per second. The vertical frequency is

also called "refresh rate" and affects screen flicker.

Appendix

Resolution

Resolution is the number of horizontal pixels and vertical pixels that form a screen. It represents the

level of display detail.

A higher resolution displays a greater amount of information on the screen and is suitable for

performing multiple tasks at the same time.

E.g. A resolution of 1920 x 1080 consists of 1,920 horizontal pixels (horizontal frequency) and 1,080

vertical lines (vertical resolution).

Plug & Play

The Plug & Play feature allows the automatic exchange of information between a monitor and PC to

produce an optimum display environment.

The monitor uses VESA DDC (international standard) to execute Plug & Play.
