Screen display for adjustments (INPUT2)
Before making adjustments in the ADJUSTMENT menu (see page 30), display an image to brighten the
entire screen.
If you are using a Windows PC, use the adjustment pattern on the supplied CD-ROM.
Retrieving the adjustment pattern
This explanation assumes you are using Windows 2000/XP and your CD-ROM drive is the “D” drive.
1. Connect the monitor and computer.
2. Load the supplied CD-ROM into the computer’s CD-ROM drive.
3. Open the CD-ROM in [My Computer].
4. Double-click [Adj_uty.exe] to start the adjustment program.
The adjustment pattern will appear.
5. When adjustment is finished, press the [ESC] on the computer’s keyboard to quit the adjustment
program.
If the display mode on the computer you are using is 65,000 colors, the color levels in the color pattern
may appear differently or grayscale may appear to be colored. (This is due to the specifications of the
input signal and is not a malfunction.)

Settings and Adjustments (Continued)
Using this monitor’s screen size switching function to compress or expand the screen for commercial or
public viewing in establishments like cafes or hotels may infringe on the rights of the creators, as
protected by Copyright Law, so please be careful.
When set to “Enlarge” (i.e. with a “2 x 2” or “3 x 3” setting), the screen size is fixed in “WIDE” mode.
When using the screen size selection function of this monitor, the appearance of the original video may
change if you select a screen size with a different aspect ratio than the original image (i.e. TV broadcast
or video input from external equipment). Please consider this point when selecting the screen size.
When an ordinary non-wide image (4:3) is viewed with the whole screen using the screen size switching
function of this monitor, the edge of the image may be lost or appear distorted. If you wish to respect the
creator’s intentions, set the screen size to “NORMAL”.
When playing commercial software, parts of the image (like subtitles) may be cropped. In this case
select the optimal screen size using “Wide Mode” and adjust the vertical position (see “Position” on
page 30). With some software, there may be noise or distortion at the edges or top of the screen. This is
due to the characteristics of the software, and is not a malfunction.
Depending on the original image size (i.e. CinemaScope size), black bands may remain at the top and
bottom of the screen.
