After making the connections, you are ready to setup your monitor.
This section describes how to setup and configure your monitor.
You will need to use the following procedures:
•
Setting Up Your Workstation - verifies that your workstation is using
the appropriate settings. See page 21.
•
Using the Screen Setup Utility - provides graphical guidelines to use
when adjusting the OSD settings. See page 24.
•
Working with the OSD - allows you to physically change the monitor
settings on the monitor. See page 25.
In the figure on the left, the gray shaded areas represent where you are
now in the general process to install, connect, and adjust your monitor.
Importance of Correctly Setting Up the Monitor
If you do not correctly set up the flat panel monitor, the image may
appear correct when you view the Windows Desktop (the screen
displayed initially displayed when Windows starts). However, when you
display an application with certain colors or patterns, you may notice
noisy video or jitter problems at that time.
For example, if the horizontal or vertical position of the display is not
adjusted correctly, one edge of the screen image may extend beyond the
side of the monitor screen.
The horizontal size and clock phase adjustments are especially important
for flat panel monitors. If the horizontal size setting is not properly
adjusted, the screen image may contain vertical shaded bars or the image
may be too wide or too narrow for the screen. If the clock phase setting
is not properly adjusted, the screen image may be “jittery.”
