VIDEO DETECTSelects the method of video detection when more than one computer is con-
nected.
FIRST
The video input has to be switched to FIRST mode. When current video input 
signal is not present, then the monitor searches for a video signal f rom the 
other video input port. If the video signal is present in the other port,
then the monitor switches the video source input port to the new found video 
source automatically. The monitor will not look for other video signals while the 
current video source is present.
LAST
The video input has to be switched to the LAST mode. When the monitor is 
displaying a signal f rom the current source and a new secondary source is sup-
plied to the monitor, then the monitor will automatically switch to
the new video source. When current video input signal is not present, then the 
monitor searches for a video signal f rom the other video input port. If the video 
signal is present in the other port, then the monitor switches the video source 
input port to the new found video source automatically.
NONE
The Monitor will not search the other video input port unless the monitor is 
turned on.
OFF TIMERMonitor will automatically power down when the user  has selected a prede-
termined amount of time.  Before powering off, a message will appear on the 
screen asking if the user wants to delay the turnoff time by 60 minutes.  Press 
any OSD button to delay the turnoff time.
TeChNICAl  NOTe: For the MAC with digital 
output: Before turning on the MAC, the DVI Input 
mode must be set to DIGITAL in “DVI SELEC-
TION” of OSD by pressing SELECT  button then 
“CONTROL” button when the DVI signal cable is 
connected  to  the  DVI-I  connector  (DVI-I)  of  the 
monitor. Otherwise the MAC may not turn on.
TeChNICAl  NOTe:  Depending  on  the  PC 
and Video card used, or when another Video signal 
cable is attached, this function may not operate.

UNIFORMITYThis function electronically compensates for the slight variations in the white 
uniformity level, as well as for deviations in color that may occur throughout 
the display area of the screen. These variations are characteristic of LCD panel
technology. This function improves the color and evens out the luminance 
uniformity of the display.
POWER MANAGERThe Power Manager allows the monitor to enter into a power saving mode after 
a period of inactivity.  The Power Manager has three settings:
OFF
Monitor does not go into power save mode when the input signal is lost.
STANDARD
Monitor enters power save mode automatically when the input signal is lost.
OPTION
Monitor enters power save mode automatically when the amount of surround-
ing light goes below the level that is determined by the user. The level can be 
adjusted in Tag 7 of the Advanced OSD Control menu.  When in power save 
mode, the LED on the f ront of the monitor blinks amber. While in power save 
mode, push any of the f ront buttons, except for POWER and SELECT to 
return to normal.  When the amount of surrounding light returns to normal 
levels, the monitor will automatically return to normal mode.
(Continued f rom previous page)
TeChNICAl  NOTe:  Using  the  UNIFOR-
MITY  feature  reduces  the  overall  peak  luminance 
of  the  display.  If  greater  luminance  is  desired  over 
the uniform performance of the display, then UNI-
FORMITY should be turned off.
