: To adjust the color of the picture

The COLOR settings allow you to adjust the picture’s color temperature by changing the color level of the white color field. Colors appear reddish if the temperature is low, and bluish if the temperature is high. This adjustment is useful for matching the monitor’s color to a printed picture’s colors. Select one of the color temperature setting modes from among 4 modes; EASY, PRESET, EXPERT, and sRGB on (OPTION) menu.

x EASY (Default setting)

You can adjust the color temperature from 5000K to 11000K.

x PRESET

You can select the preset color temperature from 5000K, 6500K, or 9300K. The default setting is 9300K.

x EXPERT

You can make additional fine adjustments to the color by selecting this mode. GAIN ( ) adjusts the bright areas of the screen, while BIAS ( ) adjusts the dark areas of the screen.

To restore the color from the EASY, PRESET, or sRGB modes ( IMAGE RESTORATION)

You can restore the color to the original factory quality levels. Before using this feature, the monitor must have been in normal operation mode (green power indicator on) for at least 30 minutes. You may need to adjust your computer’s power saving settings. If the monitor has not been on for at least 30 minutes, the “AVAILABLE AFTER WARM UP” message will appear. Also, this function may gradually lose its effectiveness due to the natural aging of the Trinitron picture tube.

x sRGB

The sRGB color setting is an industry standard color space protocol designed to correlate the colors displayed on the monitor and those printed. In order to display the sRGB colors correctly (γ = 2.2, 6500K), select the sRGB mode and set the PROFESSIONAL mode of PICTURE EFFECT (page 4) and your connected computer to the sRGB profile. If you select sRGB, you cannot operate the CONTRAST/BRIGHT menu adjustments.

Troubleshooting

• Isolate and eliminate any potential sources of electric or magnetic fields such as other monitors, laser printers, electric fans, fluorescent lighting, or televisions.

• Move the monitor away from power lines or place a magnetic shield near the monitor.

• Try plugging the monitor into a different AC outlet, preferably on a different circuit.

• Try turning the monitor 90° to the left or right.

• Check your graphics board manual for the proper monitor setting.

• Confirm that the graphics mode and the frequency of the input signal

are supported by this monitor (see “Preset mode timing table” on page i). Even if the frequency is within the proper range, some graphics board may have a sync pulse that is too narrow for the monitor to sync correctly.

• Adjust the computer’s refresh rate (vertical frequency) to obtain the best possible picture.

x Picture is fuzzy

• Adjust the contrast, brightness, and PICTURE EFFECT.

• Degauss the monitor.*

• Adjust the degree of moire cancellation until the moire is minimal,

or set CANCEL MOIRE to OFF.

x Picture is ghosting

• Eliminate the use of video cable extensions and/or video switch boxes.

• Check that all plugs are firmly seated in their sockets.

x Picture is not centered or sized properly

• Perform the Auto Size Center function.

• Adjust the size or centering. Note that with some input signals and/

or graphics board the periphery of the screen is not fully utilized.

• Just after turning on the power switch, the size/center may take a while to adjust properly.

x Edges of the image are curved

• Adjust the geometry.

x Wavy or elliptical pattern (moire) is visible

• Adjust the degree of moire cancellation until the moire is minimal.

• Change your desktop pattern.

x Color is not uniform

• Degauss the monitor.* If you place equipment that generates a magnetic field, such as a speaker, near the monitor, or if you change the direction the monitor faces, color may lose uniformity.

• Adjust the landing.

x White does not look white

• Adjust the color temperature.

• Check that the 5 BNC connectors are connected in the correct order.

x Monitor buttons do not operate ( appears on the

screen)

• If the control lock is set to ON, set it to OFF.

x Letters and lines show red or blue shadows at the

edges

• Adjust the convergence.

x USB peripherals do not function

• Check that the appropriate USB connectors are securely connected.

• Turn the monitor OFF and then ON again, then reconnect USB cable.

• If you connect a keyboard or mouse to the USB connectors and then

boot your computer for the first time, the peripheral devices may not function. First connect the keyboard and mouse directly to the computer and set up the USB compliant devices. Then connect them to this monitor.

• Install the latest version of the device driver on your computer. Contact your device’s manufacturer for information about the appropriate device driver.

x A hum is heard right after the power is turned on

• This is the sound of the auto-degauss cycle. When the power is turned on, the monitor is automatically degaussed for a few seconds.

* If a second degauss cycle is needed, allow a minimum interval of

20 minutes for the best result. A humming noise may be heard, but this is not a malfunction.

If thin lines appear on the screen

(damper wires)

These lines do not indicate a malfunction; they are a normal effect of the Trinitron picture tube with this monitor. These are shadows from the damper wires used to stabilize the aperture grille. The aperture grille is the essential element that makes a Trinitron picture tube unique by allowing more light to reach the screen, resulting in a brighter, more detailed picture.
