SymbolMenu titleExplanation
VIDEO DETECTSelects the method of video detection when more than one computer is connected.
FIRST
The video input must be switched to FIRST mode. When the primary video input signal is 
lost, the monitor searches for a secondary signal from the alternate video input port. If 
a video signal is present, the monitor will automatically switch to the \
active source. The 
monitor will not look for other video signals while the primary video so\
urce is present.
LAST
The video input must be switched to LAST mode. No matter if a video source is playing in 
the primary video port, the monitor will switch signals if video is pres\
ent in the alternate, or 
secondary port. 
NONE
The monitor will not search the alternate video input port unless the port has been turned 
on.
OFF TIMERThe monitor will automatically power down after a preset period of use. Before powering 
off, a message will appear on the screen asking if the user wants to delay the shut off time 
by 60 minutes. Press any OSD button to accept the delay. To adjust the preset period of 
time, select ON, then press SELECT and LEFT or RIGHT. 
UNIFORMITYElectronically compensates for the slight variations in the white unifor\
mity level, as well as 
for deviations in color that may occur throughout the display area of th\
e screen. These 
variations are characteristic of LCD panel technology. This function imp\
roves the color and 
evens out the luminance uniformity of the display. Using the UNIFORMITY \
feature reduces 
the overall peak luminance of the display. If greater luminance is desired over the uniform 
performance of the display, then UNIFORMITY should be turned off.
POWER MANAGERThe 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 surrounding light goes 
below the level that is determined by the user. The level can be adjuste\
d in Tag7 of the 
4.9. Advanced Menu Functions.  When in POWER MANAGER, the LED on the front of the 
monitor blinks amber. While in POWER MANAGER, push any of the front buttons, except 
for POWER and SELECT, to return to normal. When the amount of surrounding light 
returns to standard levels, the monitor will automatically return to nor\
mal mode.
