29 How to adjust your monitor
Picture optimization
The easiest way to obtain an optimal display from an analog (D-Sub) input is to use the Auto
Adjustment function. Go to Display and Auto Adjustment to optimize the currently
displayed image to the screen.
If you wish, you can always adjust the screen geometric settings manually using geometry menu
items. To assist you in this endeavour, BenQ has provided a screen test image utility which you
can use to check for screen color, grayscale and line gradient display.
1. Run the test program auto.exe from CD-ROM. You could also use any other image, such as
the desktop of your operating system. However, we recommend that you use auto.exe. As
you run auto.exe, a test pattern displays.
2. Press any of the control keys to bring up the hot key menu. Select Menu to enter the main
menu.
3. Go to Display and Auto Adjustment .
4. If you notice a vertical noise (like a curtain effect-shimmering of vertical lines), select Pixel
Clock and adjust the monitor until the noise disappears.
5. If you notice a horizontal noise, select Phase and adjust the monitor until the noise
disappears.
Customizing the hot keys
The top 3 control keys (also called custom keys) perform as hot keys to provide direct access
to pre-defined functions. You can change the default setting and designate different functions
for these keys.
1. Press any of the control keys to bring up the hot key menu, and press Menu to access the
main menu.
2. Go to System .
3. Select the custom key you want to change.
4. In the sub menu, select a function that can be accessed by this key. A pop-up message will
appear, showing that the setup is complete.
Setting up your own game mode
There are several preset picture modes on your monitor that are suitable for games. To better
suit your needs, you can change and save the related display settings, and switch to your own
game mode easily.
1. Adjust the related display settings in different OSD menus. Settings that can be customized
for game mode are:
•
Brightness
(see page 34)
•
Contrast
(see page 34)
The default picture mode is RTS , which is designed for RTS games. If you prefer other picture modes, go to
Picture Advanced and change setting in Picture Mode .
When you connect a digital video output using a digital (DVI or HDMI) cable to your monitor, the Auto
Adjustment function will be disabled, because the monitor will automatically display the best image.
Please ensure that the connected graphic card on your computer is set to the native resolution of the monitor
when you use the
Auto Adjustment function.
