Tag7UniformityThis 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 tech-
nology. This function improves the color and evens out the luminance uniformity 
of the display.

UNIFORMITY should be turned off.

The brightness of the LCD screen can be set to in-
crease or decrease depending on the amount of ambient 
light in the room. If the room is bright, the monitor be-
comes correspondingly bright. If the room is dim, then 
the  monitor  will  dim  accordingly.  The  purpose  of  this 
function  is  to  make  the  viewing  experience  more  com-
fortable to the eye in a variety of lighting conditions.
The Auto Brightness function is set to OFF by default.

Use the following procedure to select the Brightness 
Range that the monitor will use when the Auto Bright-
ness function is activated.
1.    Set  the  BRIGHT  level. This  is  the  brightness  level 
that  the  monitor  will  go  up  to  when  the  ambient 
light  level  is  highest.    Make  sure  the  room  is  at  its 
brightest when setting this level.
Select  “1”  in  the  AUTO  BRIGHTNESS  menu 
(Figure  A). Then  use  the  f ront  buttons  to  move  the 
cursor up to the BRIGHTNESS setting. Choose the 
desired brightness level (Figure B).
2.  Set  the  DARK  level.  This  is  the  level  of  brightness 
that the monitor will go down to when the ambient 
light level is low.  Make sure the room is at its darkest 
when setting this level.
Then use the f ront buttons to move the cursor up to 
the BRIGHTNESS setting. Choose the desired bright-
ness level (Figure C).

ProblemQuestion
Image persistence.Please be aware that LCD Technology may experience a phenomenon known as Image Persistence. Im-
age persistence occurs when a residual or “ghost” image of a previous image remains visible on the screen. 
Unlike CRT monitors, LCD monitors’ image persistence is not permanent, but constant images being 
displayed for a long period of time should be avoided. To alleviate image persistence, turn off the monitor 
for as long as the previous image was displayed. For example, if an image was on the monitor for one hour 
and a residual image remains, the monitor should be turned off for one hour to erase the image. 
NOTE: As with all personal display devices, LaCie recommends displaying moving images and using a 
moving screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle or turning off the monitor when not in 
use.
Message OUT OF 
RANGE is displayed 
(screen is either blank 
or shows rough images 
only).
Image is displayed only roughly (pixels are missing) and OSD warning OUT OF RANGE is displayed: 
Either signal clock or resolution is too high. Choose one of the supported modes.
OSD warning OUT OF RANGE is displayed on a blank screen: Signal f requency is out of range. Choose 
one of the supported modes.
•
•
Image is unstable or 
unfocused.
Signal cable should be completely attached to the computer.
Use the OSD Image Adjust controls to focus and adjust display by increasing or decreasing
the fine total. When the display mode is changed, the OSD Image Adjust settings may need to be read-
justed.
Check the monitor and your display card with respect to compatibility and recommended signal timings.
If your text is garbled, change the video mode to non-interlace and use 60Hz ref resh rate.
