27 How to adjust your monitor
1. Run the test program auto.exe from CD-ROM. You could also use any other image, such as
the desktop of your operating system. However, we recommend that you use auto.exe. As
you run auto.exe, a test pattern displays.
2. Press any of the control keys to bring up the hot key menu. Select Menu to enter the main
menu.
3. Go to Display and Auto Adjustment.
4. If you notice a vertical noise (like a curtain effect-shimmering of vertical lines), select Pixel
Clock
and adjust the monitor until the noise disappears.
5. If you notice a horizontal noise, select Phase and adjust the monitor until the noise
disappears.
Customizing the hot keys
The top 3 control keys (also called custom keys) perform as hot keys to provide direct access
to pre-defined functions. You can change the default setting and designate different functions
for these keys.
1. Press any of the control keys to bring up the hot key menu, and press Menu to access the
main menu.
2. Go to
System.
3. Select the custom key you want to change.
4. In the sub menu, select a function that can be accessed by this key. A pop-up message will
appear, showing that the setup is complete.
Setting up your own game mode
There are several preset picture modes on your monitor that are suitable for games. To better
suit your needs, you can change and save the related display settings, and switch to your own
game mode easily.
1. Adjust the related available settings in different OSD menus.
2. After all settings are done, go to Save Settings and save as one of the game modes.
3. If you want to switch to your game mode at any time, go to Picture Advanced and
Picture Mode, and select the game mode you saved in Step 2. Your preferred display
settings will be applied all at once.
