Using the ViewPanel

Setting the Timing Mode

Setting the timing mode is important for maximizing the quality of the screen image

and minimizing eye strain. The timing mode consists of the resolution (example

1024 x 768) and refresh rate (or vertical frequency--example 60 Hz). After setting

the timing mode, use the OnView® controls (pages 6 – 10) to adjust the screen image.

The recommended timing mode for this ViewPanel is: VESA®

1024 x 768 @ 60 Hz

To set the Timing Mode:

1Set the resolution: Right-click on the Windows®desktop > Properties >

Settings > Desktop Area or Screen Area for Windows 98 and newer > set the

resolution.

2Set the refresh rate: See your graphic card's user guide for instructions.

WARNING: Do not set the graphics card in your computer to exceed the maximum

refresh rate of 75Hz; doing so may result in permanent damage to your ViewPanel.

@ 60Hz to the VG151. (Look for instructions on "changing the refresh rate" in

your graphic card's user guide.)

• If necessary, make small adjustments using H POSITION and V POSITION until

the screen image is completely visible. (The black border around the edge of the

screen should barely touch the illuminated "active area" of the ViewPanel®.)

• Adjust FINE TUNE so that the screen image looks focused, crisp, and sharp.

NOTE: Auto Image Adjust and Manual Image adjust are inactive for digital mode.

NOTE: All OnView menus and adjustment screens disappear automatically after

about 15 seconds. This time period is adjustable through the Setup menu and the

OSD timeout control described on page 11.
