Adjusting Your Monitor
Your flat panel display allows you to easily adjust the characteristics of the image being dis-
played. All of these adjustments are made using the control buttons on the front of the
monitor. While you use these buttons to adjust the controls, an on-screen menu shows
you their numeric values as they change.
