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 1024 x 768) and refresh rate (or vertical frequency;

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

to adjust the screen image.

For the best picture quality set your monitor timing mode to one of the

following:

VESA 1280 x 1024 @ 85 Hz.

VESA 1600 x 1200 @ 75 Hz.

To set the Timing Mode:

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

Settings > 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 resolutions listed in the Specifications on page 11.

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

maximum refresh rate; doing so may result in permanent damage to your

monitor.
