27 ViewSonic VP2290b

Extended modes

The addressability of the monitor is more advanced than those provided for in the industry standard
display modes so in addition, monitor specific, or extended modes, have been developed.

Detailed timing information on these modes is provided to the video graphics card and system
through the VESA DDC/EDID protocol. Depending on the application requirements and the
capability of the video graphics card, it may be necessary to select an alternative EDID and
configure the graphics card so that the optimum mode is enabled.

Updating the settings for your display

Unless you change the video graphics card that drives your display, there is usually no need to
change the settings. In case the need does arise, a procedure for changing them is given in this
appendix.

This operation must be done carefully. If incorrect parameters are specified, nothing will be
displayed.

Applicable models

The procedure given in this document applies to displays with firmware at the following levels:

DDC CPU Version 6.2 or higher
OSD CPU Version 5.0 or higher
USB CPU Version 4.0 or higher
FPGA LOGIC Version 34 or higher

Procedure

1. Setting
a. Connect the display to the personal computer that is to be used as a video source.
b. Turn on the display and the PC. Wait until the system boots and a stable screen image is

displayed. Confirm that the power indicator on the display shows green. If it is steady amber,
press “Debug switch” with a stick to turn on the display. (See the following figure).

Debug switch
(inside of the bottom cover)

bottom view

CAUTION:

Do not use conductive material to press this switch. It may damage the electric circuit inside of the
display.

In this case, power indicator will show blinking amber, and image from PC does not appear.
Some color pattern may appear on screen.

29 ViewSonic VP2290b

2. Enabling the special OSD (on-screen display) menu
a. Press a menu switch and either the left switch or the right switch to select the (i) (information)

menu. On that menu, press the menu switch to enter the information menu. There, a display
showing the refresh rate and the screen resolution appears, as in this example:

b. Press the left switch three times, and then press the right switch three times. Page 1 of the

special OSD menu appears, as in this example:

In this display, the firmware version is shown in the following format:

-1- aaa bbb
c ddd eee

where

aaa: DDC-CPU
bbb: OSD-CPU
c: Reserved
ddd: USB-CPU
eee: FPGA-LOGIC

If the special OSD menu does not appear, press the menu switch to exit from the OSD menu.
Then go to step 2a to try again.

3. Checking the current settings
a. Press the left or right switch to enter page 2 of the special OSD menu.
b. In about five seconds, the current settings will be displayed, as in this example:

ViewSonic VP2290b 30

If the setting is given as 000, any number greater than 63, or a value ending in X, an error has
occurred; try step 3 on page 29 again. For details, see “Valid settings” on page 31.

4. Updating the settings
a. From the table on page 31, choose the number of the settings you want to use.
b. Set the brightness parameter to the value for the settings you have chosen (see “Brightness

submenu” on page 15.). If you have enabled the special OSD menu, you can set the brightness
at any level from 0 to 63, as in this example:

c. Enter page 1 of the special OSD menu.
d. Press the left or right switch to enter page 2 of the menu. Then press both switches together,

and hold them down until three dots appear on the display. The three dots show that the settings
are in the process of being updated.

e. In five seconds, the setting number now stored in this display will be displayed. If it is not the

number you want, try again.

Note:

An attempt to enter an unsupported setting number will fail.
If the number ends in x, the updating has failed because the settings have not been programmed

correctly. Try again.

f. Turn off the display to disable the special OSD menu.

Important notices

If the display is connected to a powered-down PC, or if the screen resolution of the PC is
being changed, the display will not be able to get access to the settings.

The settings cannot be reset to the factory default values by the procedure given in the
user’s manual. To reset them to those values, check your model name and choose
appropriate number, then update the settings.

ViewSonic VP2290b: Setting number 29

31 ViewSonic VP2290b

Valid settings

DDC-CPU version 6.2 can detect and update some settings. If it encounters any it does not
recognize, it reads them as 000 (unknown).

From the following table, choose the settings that are appropriate for the operating system and video
graphics card you are using.

If you want to use settings not listed in the table, consider upgrading to another version of DDC­CPU.

Settings are sometimes updated without notice. For the latest information, refer to http://
www.viewsonic.com.

Even though a graphic card is listed here, some of its functions may not be supported.
