Using the ViewPanel

Setting theTiming Mode

The timing mode consists of the resolution and refresh rate (vertical

frequency). After setting the timing mode, use the ViewSonic OnView®

controls in this section to make adjustments. The recommended timing mode

for this ViewPanel is: 1280 x 1024 @ 60Hz.

To set the Timing Mode:

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

> Settings > Desktop Area > set the resolution (example 1280 x 1024

@ 60Hz).

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

NOTE: To minimize the adjustments required for an optimal screen

image, select a timing mode from the Preset Timing Modes table

below.

3For best image quality, activate AUTO TUNE from the IMAGE ADJUST

menu.

4If necessary, make small adjustments using H POSITION and

VPOSITION (Horizontal Position and Vertical Position) from the

IMAGE ADJUST menu 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.)

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

maximum refresh rate for each resolution shown below in the Maximum Refresh

Rates table. Doing so may result in permanent damage to your ViewPanel.
