4.3PIP/PBP
The PIP (Picture in Picture) function separates the screen into two parts. One source device is displayed
on the main screen at the same time the another source device is displayed in inset windows.
The PBP (Picture by Picture) function separates the screen in half displaying output from two different
source devices simultaneously on the left and right sides of the screen.
Compatible with Windows7 and Windows8.
The PIP/PBP function may not be available depending on the specifications of the graphics card
used. If the screen is blank in PIP/PBP mode when the optimum resolution is selected, go to
Control PanelDisplay Screen Resolution and click Detect on the PC.
(Instructions are based on Windows 7.) If the screen is blank when the resolution is set to the
optimum resolution, change the resolution to 1280 x 1024.
→
The screen may flicker briefly or appear after a delay when you enable or disable the PIP/PBP
function or when you change the screen size with the PIP/PBP function activated.
This can typically arise when a PC and a monitor are connected to two or more input sources. It
has nothing to do with the performance of a monitor.
The issue is mainly caused when the video signals are delayed in transmission to the monitor
depending on the graphics card performance.
To maximize the picture quality, it is recommended to use a graphics card that supports
2K (2560 x 1440) resolution.
When the PIP/PBP function is enabled, the resolution may not automatically switch to the
optimum resolution due to a compatibility issue between the graphics card and the Windows
operating system. Set PIP/PBP Mode to Off or manually change the resolution to the optimum
resolution using the Windows interface.

10.3Standard Signal Mode Table
This product can be set to only one resolution for each screen size to obtain the optimum picture
quality due to the nature of the panel. Therefore, a resolution other than the specified resolution
may degrade the picture quality. To avoid this, it is recommended that you select the optimum
resolution specified for the screen size of your product.
Check the frequency when you exchange a CDT monitor (connected to a PC) for an LCD monitor.
If the LCD monitor does not support 85 Hz, change the vertical frequency to 60 Hz using the CDT
monitor before you exchange it with the LCD monitor.
