How to adjust the screen refresh rate 
You don’t have to choose the highest possible refresh rate on an LCD display, because it is not 
technically possible for an LCD display to flicker. The best results are obtained by using the 
factory modes already set in your computer. There is a table with the factory modes in the 
specification section of this User’s Manual. 
You can choose 60, 70 and 75 Hertz, (but not 72Hz) for the native resolution of 1280x1024. 
1. Double click the Display icon in Control Panel.
2. From the Display Properties window, select the Settings tab and click the Advanced button. 
3. Select the Adapter tab, and select an appropriate refresh rate to match one of the applicable 
factory modes as listed in the specification table.
4. Click Change, OK, then Ye s. 
5. Close the Display Properties window.

How to set the picture optimization 
The easiest way to obtain an optimal display is to use the i key function. Press the i key to 
optimize and adjust the screen settings automatically for you. Refer to How to adjust your 
monitor on page 23 for button locations and functionality. 
If you wish to, you can always adjust the screen settings manually using the buttons on the 
monitor panel. To assist you in this endeavour, BenQ has provided a screen test image utility 
which you can use to check for screen color, grayscale and line gradient display.
To make sure the 
i key function performs well, you have to select one of the supported modes. If 
the 
i key does not work properly and the NON PRESET MODE message is on the OSD, it means 
you are not using one of the supported modes. Please set your monitor to use one of the 
supported modes as listed at the end of this manual.
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 the ikey button on the monitor.
3. Press the Enter key to access the monitor On-Screen Display (OSD) menu.
4. If you notice a vertical noise (like a curtain effect-shimmering of vertical lines), press the 
W 
or 
X keys to select Geometry and press the Enter key. Then press theW or X keys to select 
Pixel Clock and press the Enter key again. Then, press the
W or X key to adjust the monitor 
until the noise disappears.
5. If you notice a horizontal noise, press the
W or X keys to select Geometry and press the 
Enter key. Then press the 
W or X keys to select Phase and press the Enter key again. Then, 
press the 
W or X keys to adjust the monitor until the noise disappears.

Bluish     - applies a cool tint to the image and is  factory pre-set to the PC industry standard white 
color.
Reddish  - applies a warm tint to the image and is  factory pre-set to the news print standard white 
color.
Normal   - allows video and still phot ographs to be viewed with natural  coloring. This is the factory 
default color.
User Preset:
User Preset is provided so you can tailor the 
image color tint to suit your liking. The blend of 
the Red, Green and Blue primary colors can be 
altered to change the color  tint of the image. The 
default start setting is 50. Decreasing one or 
more of the colors will reduce their respective 
influence on the color tint of the image. e.g. if 
you reduce the Blue level the image will 
gradually take on a yellowish tint. If you reduce 
Green, the image will become a magenta tint.
To reset the defaults, see  Recall sub-menu on page 30  for details.
