• sRGB is for DVI-D, DisplayPort, and D-SUB input only.

sRGB is international standard of color representation

specied by IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission). Color conversion is made in taking account of liquid crystal’s characteristics and represents color tone

close to its original image.

Switching the screen size

Even when the screen size is changed, the display may remain the same depending on the input signal.

WIDE Displays image so it lls the entire screen.

Basic Operation

NORMAL

Dot by Dot

CUSTOM Displays the image at the size set with CUSTOM ZOOM in the SCREEN menu.

TIPS

• Using this monitor’s screen-size switching or dual-screen display functions to compress or expand the screen for commercial or public viewing in establishments like cafes or hotels may infringe on the rights of the creators, as protected by Copyright Law, so please be careful.

• When “Enlarge” is set, the screen size is xed to WIDE mode.

• When dual-screen display is selected, the screen size cannot be set to Dot by Dot or CUSTOM.

• The appearance of the original video may change if you select a screen size with a different aspect ratio than the original image (e.g. TV broadcast or video input from external equipment).

• When an ordinary non-wide image (4:3) is viewed with the whole screen using the screen-size switching function of this monitor, the edge of the image may be lost or appear distorted. If you wish to respect the creator’s intentions, set the screen size to NORMAL.

• When playing commercial software, parts of the image (like subtitles) may be cropped. In this case select the optimal screen size using the screen-size switching function of this monitor. With some software, there may be noise or distortion at the edges of the screen. This is due to the characteristics of the software, and is not a malfunction.

• Depending on the original image size, black bands may remain at the edges of the screen.

Displays image so it lls the screen without changing the aspect ratio of the input

signals.

Displays the dots of the input signals as the corresponding dots on the screen.

Whenthefollowingcommandsareused,“WAIT”isreturned. Inthiscase,avaluewillbereturnedifyouwaitawhile.Donot sendanycommandduringthisperiod.

No ID number is attached to WAIT response.

• CommandswhichreturnWAIT:

1. Whenrepeatercontrolisused

2. When an IDSL or IDLK command is used

3. Whenoneofthefollowingcommandsisused:RSET, INPS,ASNC,WIDE,PXSL,POWR,MWIN,MWIP, EMHV,EPHV,ESHV,ENLG,BOMD

Ifmonitorsareconnectedasshownabove,youcan executecommandslike“Setthevolumeofthemonitorwith ID4to20”.

WhendesignatingIDnumbersforasetofmonitorslinkedina daisychain,youshouldbasicallyavoidanyduplicationofID

numbers.

Repeater control

[Example]

Set 1

Set 2 Set 3Set 4

This system has a function to allow setting of multiple monitors connected in a daisy chain using a single command.

This function is called repeater control. You can use Repeater

control function without assigning ID numbers.

* If monitors are connected as shown above, you can

execute a command like “Set all monitors’ input settings to

D-SUB”.

Repeater control command

Repeater control is achieved by setting the FOURTH CHARACTER of the parameter to “+”.

Example:

VOLM030 + ←

Sets volume of all monitors to 30.

Controlling the Monitor with a PC (RS-232C)

In repeater control, responses are returned by all the

connected monitors.

If you want to determine that a value has been returned by a specic set, assign ID numbers to each monitor in advance.

When some monitors do not return their responses, the probable cause is that the monitors could not receive the command or command processing is not complete. Do not

send a new command.

Example: (When 4 monitors are connected, and

assigned ID numbers: 1 through 4)

VOLM030 +

WAIT

001 002

003

004 ← If 4 monitors are connected in

a chain, reliable operation can

be ensured by sending a new command only after a reply has been returned by 4th (last)

monitor.

Repeater control can also be used for reading settings.

Example:

VOLM ? ? ? +

WAIT

001

10 20

002 003

004

TIPS

• If repeater control is used during ID designation (IDSL,

IDLK), the ID designation is canceled.

Volume settings for all monitors are returned.

Page 46

Troubleshooting

The Power LED is ashing in red and green alternately.

• When the internal temperature of the monitor rises excessively, the brightness of the backlight decreases automatically in order to prevent high-temperature-related problems. When this occurs, the Power LED ashes red and green alternately.

• If the internal temperature rises further, the monitor automatically enters standby mode. (The Power LED continues ashing red and green alternately.)

• Remove the cause of the excessive temperature rise.

- If the monitor enters standby mode due to a rise in

temperature, to return to normal display, turn the power switch off and then back on again. The monitor, however, will enter standby mode again if the cause of the

temperature rise is not eliminated. (See page 7.)

- Check whether the monitor is placed at a location where

a quick rise in temperature is likely. Internal temperature rises quickly if the vents on the monitor are blocked.

- Internal temperature rises quickly if dust accumulates

inside the monitor or around the vents. Remove dust if

possible. Ask SHARP dealer about removing internal dust.
