 The 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 for 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.
