Congratulations on your purchase of a ViewSonic®ViewPanel®display.

Microsoft operating systems: Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows 98,

Windows 2000, Windows Me (Millennium), and Windows XP.

NOTE: The CD jacket contains the Quick Start Guide, and the CD includes the

User Guide PDF files and INF/ICM display optimization files. The INF file

ensures compatibility with Windows operating systems, and the ICM file (Image

you install both files.

direct sunlight or another heat source. Orient

your ViewPanel display away from direct

sunlight to reduce glare.

care when moving it.

• Place your ViewPanel display in a well-

ventilated area. Do not place anything on your

dissipation.

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

to adjust the screen image.

For the best picture quality set your ViewPanel®display timing mode to:

VESA 1280 x 1024@ 60 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.

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

maximum refresh rate of 75Hz; doing so may result in permanent damage to

your ViewPanel display.
