The MISCELLANEOUS menu contains several unrelated settings. To access the
MISCELLANEOUS menu, press MISC twice on the remote.
Curtain Pattern
The curtain pattern determines what the m40L/m46L will show when you press the
CURTAIN button.
Plug and Play (EDID Enable)
Plug and Play allows the source computer’s video card to query the display and send
the correct resolution. Most video cards work with Planar displays. For the few that
don’t, you may need to turn off Plug and Play and manually specify the video card
settings based on the display’s capabilities.
Preferred Source Detection
Analog computer video cards provide only vertical and horizontal frequencies.
Sometimes, this is not enough information. In certain cases, a display receiving such
“ambiguous” signal modes could misinterpret the resolution to be any of three
different modes. For example, 1024 x 768, 1280 x 768, and 1360 x 768 all have the
same respective horizontal and vertical frequencies but represent different aspect
ratios, 4 x 3, 15 x 9, and 16 x 9, respectively. By specifying the correct source detection
mode, the display can correctly interpret the signal and display the incoming image
in the proper aspect ratio. The default preferred source detection is 16 x 9, which is
the native aspect ratio of this display. If you are attempting to display a 4 x 3 signal
and it is not working, try changing the preferred source detection to 4 x 3.
Allow Frame Lock
Frame lock causes the display to synchronize its vertical refresh timing with that of
the incoming source. This prevents frame tearing or frame dropping. To frame lock,
the incoming signal must be within the refresh parameters of the display itself, which
is from 49.3 Hz to 64.8 Hz.
