Preset and User Modes
This monitor has factory preset modes for the most popular
industry standards for true "plug and play" compatibility.
When a new input signal is entered, the monitor selects the
appropriate factory preset mode and momentarily adjusts
the phase calibration to provide a high quality picture to the
center of the screen. The calibration is stored in memory
and is
immediately recalled whenever ihc same input signal
is received.

is entered, it will replace the first.
