Clock
The analog input monitor needs to reproduce a clock of the same frequency as the dot clock of the
graphics system in use, when the analog input signal is converted to a digital signal for image display.
This is called clock adjustment. If the clock pulse is not set correctly, some vertical bars appear on the
screen.

One is a DVI-D connector for digital signal input only. The other is a DVI-I connector for both digital and
analog signal inputs.
DVI DMPM (DVI Digital Monitor Power Management)

Gain
This is used to adjust each color parameter for red, green and blue. An LCD monitor displays the color
by the light passing through the panel color lter. Red, green and blue are the three primary colors. All
the colors on the screen are displayed by combining these three colors. The color tone can be changed by
adjusting the light intensity (volume) passing through each color’s lter.
