Connecting Monitor Cables
Connecting the VGA (Analog) Cable or DVI-D (Digital) Cable
Use a VGA video cable or a DVI-D cable to connect your monitor to your computer. To 
use DVI, you must have a DVI-compliant graphic card. Connectors are located on the 
back of the monitor. Be sure the computer and monitor are turned off and unplugged.
1. To connect the VGA cable (provided with select  models) 
Connect one end of the VGA video cable to the back of the monitor and the other end 
to the VGA video connector on the computer.
2. To connect the DVI-D cable (provided with select models)
Connect one end of the DVI-D video cable to the back of the monitor and the other 
end to the DVI-D video connector on the com puter. You can use this cable only if your 
computer has a DVI compliant graphics card installed. The monitor DVI-D connector 
and cable are included.

High-Bandwidth Digital Co ntent Protection (HDCP) 
Your monitor supports HDCP and can receive high-definition content. High-definition 
content is available in many sources, such as Blue-ray Disc devices or HDTV air or 
cable broadcasts. If you do not have an  HDCP-enabled monitor, you will see a blank 
screen or a lower resolution picture when  playing high-definition protected content. 
Your computer graphics card and monitor must both support HDCP to display 
protected content.
Connecting the Power Cable
1. Follow all Electrical and Power Warnings
 WARNING!  To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment: Do 
not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety 
feature.
Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet.
Be sure that the grounded power outlet y ou plug the power cord into is easily 
accessible to the operator and located as close to the equipment as possible. A power 
cord should be routed so that  it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items that 
are placed upon it or against it.
Do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no one may 
accidentally step on or trip over them. Do not pull on a cord or cable.
SeeTechnical Specification (Appendix B) for additional information.

14 Appendix 4.   Operating the Monitor ENWW
 
Selecting Video Input Connectors
The input connectors are:
• VGA connector (analog)
• DVI-D connector (digital) 
The monitor automatically determines which inputs have valid video signals, and 
displays the image.
You can connect the VGA cable, the DVI-D cable, or both. If both cables are installed, 
the default input selection is DVI.The source  of input can be switched using the Input 
Select option in the OSD menu.
Identifying Monitor Conditions
Special messages appear on the monitor screen for the following monitor conditions:
Input Signal Out of Range  - When the Hsync Frequency, Vsync Frequency or 
Resolution is out of the m onitor support range, The moni tor will show this message. 
No Signal  - When the video cable is not connected, or the video cable is connected 
but there is no active signal input, the m onitor will show this message, after 9 seconds 
the monitor will enter power sa ving. This message location is at the position setting in 
OSD Setup item.
Auto Adjustment in Progress  - Indicates the auto adjustment function is active. See 
Adjusting Screen Quality in this chapter.
Adjusting Screen Quality
The auto adjustment feature automatically fine-tunes the image quality for display 
size, position, clock, and phase each time a new video mode is displayed. For more 
precise adjustments of VGA input, run the Auto Adjustment software on the CD. If you 
want additional image quality improvement,  use the Clock and Phase controls of the 
monitor to fine tune the image. See Optimizing Analog Video in this chapter.
Optimizing Analog Video
Some monitors contain advanced circuitry th at allow the monitor to function as a 
standard analog monitor. Two controls in the OSD menu can be adjusted to improve 
analog image performance:
Clock  -  Increase or decrease t he value to minimize any vertical bars or stripes visible 
on the screen background.
Phase  -  Increase or de crease the value to minimize video distortion or video jitter.
Use these controls only when the auto  adjustment function does not provide a 
satisfactory monitor image in analog mode. To obtain the best results:
1. Allow the monitor to warm up fo r 30 minutes before adjusting.
2. Access the OSD menu, then select  Image Setup.
3. Set the main Clock settings correctly first, because the Phase settings depend on  the main Clock settings.When adjusting the Clock and Phase values, if the 
monitor images become distorted,continue  adjusting the values until the distortion 
disappears. To restore the factory settin gs, access the OSD menu, select Factory 
Reset , and then select Yes .
