Description

Positioning:

Positioning moves the viewing area around on the monitor screen.

Auto Adjust

Even though your computer system can recognize your new flat panel monitor on startup, the 'Auto Adjustment' function will optimize the display settings for use with your particular setup.

 

Note: 'Auto Adjust' will produce the best image for your configuration.

Pixel Clock

(Coarse)

The Phase and Pixel Clock adjustments allow you to more closely adjust your monitor to your preference. These settings are accessed through the main OSD menu, by selecting 'Image Settings'.

Use the 4” and “3 buttons to adjust away interference. Minimum: 0 ~ Maximum: 100

Phase (Fine)





If satisfactory results are not obtained using the Phase adjustment, use the Pixel Clock (course) adjustment and then use Phase (fine), again.

Note: This function may change the width of the display image. Use the Horizontal function of the Position menu to center the display image on the screen.

 

Color Settings:

Color Settings adjusts the color temperature, color hue and saturation.

The color hue is most noticeable in areas of white.

 

9300K Preset

9300K Preset is selected to obtain a bluish tint.

 

6500K Preset

6500K Preset is selected to obtain a redder tint.

 

sRGB Preset

sRGB Preset: The term sRGB stands for "standardised Red, Green and Blue" colour space. The need for the development of an RGB standard has been based on the increasing use of monitors and other RGB devices to display images, for example in web pages. Using sRGB colour space means that any calibrated monitor in a system which can accept sRGB should then display the image with the same colour balance as the original file, ensuring consistency of presentation.
When selecting "sRGB", the brightness and contrast controls will be automatically adjusted to a preset condition.

 

 User Preset

User Preset: Use the 4” and “3 buttons to increase or decrease each of the three colors (R, G, B) independently, in single digit increments, from '0' to '100'.

Note: Color temperature is a measure of the 'warmth' of the image colors (red/green/blue). The available range is between 6500 to 9300K. The two available presets (9300 and 6500) favor blue and red accordingly. Select each one to see how each range suits your eye or utilize the 'User Preset' option to customize the color settings to your exact choice.

 

OSD Settings:

Each time the OSD opens, it displays in the same location on the screen. 'OSD Settings' (horizontal/vertical) provides control over this location.

Horizontal Position

4” and “3 buttons move OSD to the left and right.

Vertical Position

4” and “3 buttons move OSD down and up.

OSD Hold Time

OSD Hold Time sets the length of time the OSD will remain active after the last time you pressed a button.

4” and “3 buttons to adjust the slider in 5 second increments, from 5 to 60 seconds.

 

OSD Lock

'OSD Lock' controls user access to adjustments. When 'Yes' (+) is selected, no user adjustments are allowed. All buttons are locked except the menu button.

Note: When the OSD is locked, pressing the menu button will take the user directly to the OSD settings menu, with 'OSD Lock' preselected on entry. Select No(-) to unlock and allow user access to all applicable settings.

Note: You can also lock or unlock the OSD by pushing the Menu button for over 15 seconds.

Automatic Save

With the OSD open, if you make an adjustment and then either proceed to another menu or exit the OSD, the display automatically saves any adjustments you have made. If you have made no adjustments, the on-screen menu disappears and the display does not save any new settings.


OSD Warning Messages

A warning message may appear on the screen indicating that the monitor is out of sync.

Cannot Display This Video Mode

This means that the monitor cannot synchronize with the signal that it is receiving from the computer. Either the signal is too high or too low for the monitor to use.  See Specifications for the Horizontal and Vertical scan ranges addressable by this display. Recommended mode is 1024 X 768 @ 60Hz.

Note: The floating 'Dell ~ self-test Feature Check' dialog will appear on-screen if the monitor cannot sense a video signal.

Sometimes, no warning message appears, but the screen is blank, which could also indicate that the display is not synchronizing with the computer.
