 Overview 
 What is MagicTune™ ? 
Monitor performance can vary due to the graphics card, host computer lighting conditions and other 
environmental factors.  In order to get the best image on a monitor requires you to adjust it for your unique 
setting.  Unfortunately, the manual controls available to tune the image often prove to be challenging.  Proper 
adjustment (tuning) requires an easy to use program that  goes through a step-by-step process to obtain the best 
overall picture quality.  
In most cases even simple adjustments to Brightness, or Contrast require navigation of the multi-level, on-screen 
display (OSD) menus that are not easy to understand. Furt hermore, there is no feedback to assist in correctly 
setting the controls of the monitor. MagicTune™ is a software utility that guides you through the tuning process 
with easy to understand instructions and back ground patterns designed for each monitor control.  
 Basic Functionality 
MagicTune™ is a software utility that allows monitor adjustment and color tuning using the Display Data 
Channel Command Interface (DDC/CI)
 protocol.   All adjustments to the display are controlled via software 
to eliminate the need to use the monitor on-screen display (OSD).   
MagicTune™ supports Windows™ 2000, XP Home, and XP Professional.  
It is recommended using MagicTune™ in Windows™ 2000 or later.
  MagicTune™ allows for quick accurate tuning of the display with the ability to easily save and use monitor 
configurations that are best suited for you. 
 OSD Mode 
 
						

							The OSD mode allows easy adjustment of monitor settings without taking pre-defined steps. You can access the 
desired menu item to set with ease.
