Using the Monitor

Setting the Timing Mode

Setting the timing mode is important for maximizing the quality of the

screen image and minimizing eye strain. The timing mode consists of the

resolution (example 1280 x 1024) and refresh rate (or vertical frequency;

example 75 Hz). After setting the timing mode, use the OnView®controls

to adjust the screen image.

The recommended timing modes for this monitor are:

VESA 1024 x 768 @ 75 Hz and VESA 1600 x 1200 @ 75 Hz.

To set the Timing Mode:

1Set the resolution: Right-click on the Windows®desktop > Properties >

Settings > Desktop or Screen Area > set the resolution.

2Set the refresh rate: See your graphic card's user guide for instructions.

NOTE: To minimize the adjustments required for an optimal screen image,

select a timing mode from the Preset Timing Modes table below.

WARNING: Do NOT set the graphics card in your computer to exceed the

maximum refresh rate for each resolution (see below). Doing so may result in

permanent damage to your monitor.
