Getting Started

Congratulations on your purchase of a VP150m color ViewPanel®. Important!

Save the original box and all packing material for future shipping needs.

NOTE: The word "Windows" in this user guide refers to the following Microsoft

operating systems: Windows '95, Windows '98, Windows 2000, Windows NT.

Package Contents

Your VP150m package includes:

•VP150m ViewPanel with video cable

• Audio cable

• Power cords

• User guide

• AC/DC Adapter

• INF and ICM installation files on diskette or CD. (Note: Perfect PortraitTM

software on CD-ROM must be installed to use the ViewPanel in portrait

mode.)

IMPORTANT: The supplied INF file assures compatibility with Windows

operating systems, and the ICM file (Integrated Color Management) assures

accurate on-screen colors. ViewSonic®recommends that you install both files.

To install these files, see the Quick Installation section.

Precautions

• For best viewing conditions sit at least 18"

from the ViewPanel.

• AVOID TOUCHING THE SCREEN WITH

YOUR FINGERS. Oils from the skin are

difficult to remove.

• NEVER REMOVE THE REAR COVER. The

ViewPanel contains high-voltage parts. You

may suffer serious injury if you touch these

parts.

• Avoid exposing the ViewPanel to direct

sunlight or another heat source. The

ViewPanel should be facing away from direct

sunlight to reduce glare.

• Always handle your ViewPanel with care

when moving it.

• Place your ViewPanel in a well ventilated

area. Do not place anything on the ViewPanel

that prevents adequate dissipation of heat.

• Ensure the area around the ViewPanel is clean

and free of moisture.

• Do not place heavy objects on the ViewPanel,

video cable, or power cord.

• If smoke, abnormal noise, or strange odor is

present, immediately switch the ViewPanel

off and call your dealer or ViewSonic. It is

dangerous to continue using the ViewPanel.

Quick Installation

1 Connect video and audio cables

Make sure both the ViewPanel®and

computer are powered OFF.

•Rotate the ViewPanel 90-degrees clockwise

for easy access to the connections.

•Connect a video cable (either digital or

the computer. This sequence (ViewPanel

before computer) is very important.

NOTE: Windows 95, 98 or 2000 users may

receive a message asking them to install the

VP150m INF file.

4 Install INF and ICM files

For CD-ROM: Insert your ViewSonic

CD-ROM, select “Monitor Drivers,”and

LCD Screen Protector (Optional)

Landscape/Portrait Modes

The VP150m ViewPanel can operate in either Landscape or Portrait mode.

Follow the instructions that accompany the Perfect Portrait software.

To switch from Landscape (default) to Portrait mode, do the following:

1From the front, gently raise the ViewPanel to allow more clearance.

2Pull the bottom of the ViewPanel outward and away from the base.

3Manually rotate the VP150m clockwise 90 degrees.

To Raise and Lower the display

You can easily raise and lower the display panel (the head) manually. As you

face the front of the display, take hold of each side of the head and pull up or

down. The panel should move easily.

Special slots have been added to the front panel of your

VP150m to enable you to install an optional LCD screen

protector.

This special poly carbonate sheet (not shown in the graphic)

is easy to install and will protect the LCD panel from

scratches. Contact ViewSonic Customer Support for more

information.

Note: Before using the portrait display mode,

first install the Perfect PortraitTM software

included with your VP150m ViewPanel.

Perfect Portrait software is compatible with

most PCI and AGP graphics (video) cards.

For information about compatible graphics

cards and approved hardware configurations,

go to the ViewSonic website, http://

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 10-14) to adjust

the screen image.

The recommended timing mode for this ViewPanel is: VESA®

1024 x 768 @ 60 Hz

To set the Timing Mode:

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

Settings > Desktop Area (or Screen Area for Windows 95 and newer) > set

the resolution.

2 Set 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.

The following tips may help you optimize your display:

768 @ 60Hz to the VP150m. (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 FINETUNE so that the screen image looks focused, crisp, and sharp.

NOTE: All OnView menus and

adjustment screens disappear

automatically after about 30

seconds.
