Overview 
 
 
   
 
 
  What is Ma
gicTune™?   
Monitor performance can vary due to the graphics card, host computer lighting conditions and 
other environmental factors. In order to get the be
st image on a monitor requires you to adjust it 
for your unique setting. Unfortunately, the manu al 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 obta in the best overall picture quality. 
 
In most cases even simple adjust ments to Brightness, or Contrast require navigation of the multi-
level, on-screen display (OSD) menus that are not easy to understand. Furthermore, 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. The display settings for each user can be 
saved, providing an easy  way to select display characteristics in a multi-user environme or having 
a single user have multiple defined presets based on content and ambient lighting.
