Unlike analogue channels, which can vary in reception quality from snowy to clear, digital (HDTV) 
channels have either perfect reception quality or you will not receive them at all. So, unlike 
analogue channels, you cannot fine tune a digital channel. You can, however, adjust your antenna 
to improve the reception of available digital channels 
 If the signal strength meter indicates that the signal is weak, physically adjust your antenna to 
increase the signal strength. Continue to adjust the antenna until you find the best position 
with the strongest signal.

3-7 Standard Signal Mode Table
 An LCD monitor has one optimal resolution for the best visual quality depending on the screen size due to the inherent 
characteristics of the panel, unlike a CDT monitor.
Therefore, the visual quality will be degraded if the optimal resolution is not set for the panel size. It is recommended setting 
the resolution to the optimal resolution of the product.
 
If the signal from the PC is one of the following standard signal modes, the screen is set automatically. However, if the signal from 
the PC is not one of the following signal modes, a blank screen may be displayed or only the Power LED may be turned on. 
Therefore, configure it as follows referring to the User Manual of the graphics card.
Horizontal Frequency
The time taken to scan one line from the left-most position to the right-most position on the screen is called the horizontal cycle 
and the reciprocal of the horizontal cycle is called the horizontal frequency. The horizontal frequency is represented in kHz.
Vertical Frequency
A panel must display the same picture on the screen tens of times every second so that humans can see the picture. This 
frequency is called the vertical frequency. The vertical frequency is represented in Hz.
