Connect a mobile device that supports MHL to the product and view videos and photos (saved on the device) using the product screen.

NOTE

• To use the MHL function, you need an MHL-certied mobile device. You can check if your mobile device is MHL certied on the website of the device manufacturer. To nd a list of MHL-certied devices, visit the ofcial MHL website (http://www.mhlconsortium.org).

• To use the MHL function, the latest version of software must be installed on the mobile device.

• On some mobile devices, the MHL function may not be available depending on the device performance or functionality.

• Since the display size of the product is larger than those of mobile devices, the picture quality may degrade.

• This product is ofcially MHL-certied. In the event of a problem with a mobile device connection, contact the mobile device manufacturer.

• The picture quality may degrade when content (imported from the mobile device) with a low resolution is displayed on the product.

Using MHL

1. Connect the HDMI IN(MHL) port on the product to the Micro USB port on the mobile

device using the mobile cable.

2. Connect the DC power adapter to the product and a power socket.

3. After the power is connected, the product will automatically detect and change the input

source.

* If the input source is not set to HDMI/MHL, press the [ ] button to change the input

source.

* If the screen is blank in HDMI/MHL mode, power the product off and then on again.

When the mobile device is not connected or does not support MHL

If MHL mode does not activate, check the connection of the mobile device.

If MHL mode does not activate, check if the mobile device supports MHL.

If MHL mode does not activate even though the mobile device supports MHL, update the rmware on the device to the latest version.

Disabling MHL

When the cable is disconnected or the mobile device is powered off

If the HDMI-MHL cable is disconnected or the mobile device is powered off when MHL is active, the MHL function will be disabled.

The stand generates heat. Why is that? Does this mean that the product is defective?

The upper part of the stand may become slightly hot at room temperature. This occurs as the heat inside the stand releases naturally. The intensity of heat you feel can vary depending on whether the room is sealed or depending on the surrounding temperature. This does not indicate a defect. You can use the product without worry.

It is recommended to use the product in a location that offers good ventilation at the back of the monitor stand.

The time required to scan a single line from the left to the right side of the screen is called a horizontal cycle. The reciprocal number of a horizontal cycle is called horizontal frequency. Horizontal frequency is measured in kHz.

Vertical Frequency

Repeating the same picture dozens of times per second allows you to view natural pictures. The repeat frequency is called "vertical frequency" or "refresh rate" and is indicated in Hz.

Terminology

OSD(On Screen Display)

On screen display (OSD) allows you to customize on-screen settings to optimize the picture quality as required. You can change the screen brightness, tint, size and many other settings using menus displayed on the screen.

frequency of 85 means that the horizontal lines that make up an image are transmitted 85000 times per second. 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 icker.

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

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 1920 horizontal pixels (horizontal resolution) and 1080 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.

MHL (Mobile High-Denition Link)

The MHL feature allows you to view videos and photos (saved on a connected mobile device that supports MHL) using the product screen.
