Common Flat Panel Video Adjustments
The RAC6185 18.1" Flat Panel Monitor provides controls to adjust the
following settings for the monitor video display:
• Brightness
• Contrast
• Position Information
It is important that you make initial adjustments to these settings to
ensure that the screen image on the flat panel monitor is set up correctly.
Brightness
Adjusts the overall intensity of the monitor. After allowing the backlight
to warm up, adjust for the least amount of brightness needed to achieve
black at ambient lighting conditions.
Contrast
Adjusts the difference between the monitor’s light and dark elements.
With a suitable image displayed on the screen, adjust the contrast control
to achieve the best balance between image brightness and fine detail
rendition.
Position Information
Adjusts the image position of the monitor, and includes the following
adjustments:
• Horizontal Size
• Clock Phase
• Horizontal and Vertical Position
• Reset
Importance of Correctly Setting Up the Monitor
If you do not correctly set up the flat panel monitor, the image may
appear correct when you view the Windows Desktop (the screen
displayed when Windows starts). However, when you display an
application with certain colors or patterns, you may notice noisy video or
jitter problems at that time.
For example, if the horizontal or vertical position of the display is not
adjusted correctly, one edge of the screen image may extend beyond the
side of the monitor screen.
