Getting Started  
Congratulations on your purchase of a ViewSonic® LCD display.  
Important! Save the original box and all packing material for future shipping needs.  
NOTE: The word “Windows” in this user guide refers to the following Microsoft operating  
systems: Windows ‘95, Windows NT, Windows ‘98, Windows 2000, Windows Me  
(Millennium), Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.  
Package Contents

Precautions  
• Sit at least 18” from the LCD display.  
• Place the LCD display in a well ventilated  
area. Do not place anything on the LCD  
display that prevents heat dissipation.

difficult to remove.  
• Ensure the area around the LCD display is  
clean and free of moisture.  
Never remove the rear cover. This LCD  
display contains high-voltage parts. You  
may be seriously injured if you touch  
them.  
• Do not place heavy objects on the LCD  
display, video cable, or power cord.  
• Avoid exposing the LCD display to direct  
sunlight or another heat source. Orient the  
LCD display away from direct sunlight to  
reduce glare.  
• If smoke, an abnormal noise, or a strange  
odor is present, immediately switch the  
LCD display off and call your dealer or  
ViewSonic. It is dangerous to continue  
using the LCD display.  
• Always handle the LCD display with care  
when moving it.

Using the LCD Display  
Setting the Timing Mode  
Setting the timing mode is important for maximizing the quality of the screen image and  
minimizing eye strain. The timing mode consists of the resolution (example 1920 x 1080) and  
refresh rate (or vertical frequency; example 60 Hz). After setting the timing mode, use the  
OSD (On-screen Display) controls to adjust the screen image.  
For the best picture quality set your LCD display timing mode to:  
VESA 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz.  
To set the Timing Mode:  
1. Set the resolution: Right-click on the Windows desktop > Properties > Settings > set the  
resolution.  
2. Set the refresh rate: See your graphic card's user guide for instructions.  
WARNING: Do not set the graphics card in your computer to exceed the maximum refresh  
rate of 75Hz; doing so may result in permanent damage to your LCD display.  
OSD and Power Lock Settings  
OSD Lock: Press and hold [1] and the up arrow S for 10 seconds. If any buttons are  
pressed the message OSD Locked will display for 3 seconds.  
OSD Unlock: Press and hold [1] and the up arrow S again for 10 seconds.  
Power Button Lock: Press and hold [1] and the down arrow T for 10 seconds. If the  
power button is pressed the message Power Button Locked will display for 3 seconds. With  
or without this setting, after a power failure, your LCD display’s power will automatically  
turn ON when power is restored.  
Power Button Unlock: Press and hold [1] and the down arrow T again for 10 seconds.

The following tips may help you optimize your display:  
• Adjust the computer's graphics card so that it outputs a 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz video signal to  
the LCD display. (Look for instructions on “changing the refresh rate” in the graphics card's  
user guide.)  
• If necessary, make small adjustments using H. POSITION and V. POSITION until the  
screen image is completely visible. (The black border around the edge of the screen should  
barely touch the illuminated “active area” of the LCD display.)

Control  
Explanation  
Auto Image Adjust automatically sizes, centers, and fine tunes the video signal  
to eliminate waviness and distortion. Press the [2] button to obtain a sharper  
image.  
NOTE: Auto Image Adjust works with most common video cards. If this  
function does not work on your LCD display, then lower the video refresh rate  
to 60 Hz and set the resolution to its pre-set value.  
Contrast adjusts the difference between the image background (black level)  
and the foreground (white level).  
Brightness adjusts background black level of the screen image.  
Input Select toggles between inputs if you have more than one computer  
connected to the LCD Display.  
Audio Adjust (For VA2231wm-LED only)  
Volume increases the volume, decreases the volume, and mutes the audio.  
Mute temporarily silences audio output.  
Color Adjust provides several color adjustment modes, including preset color  
temperatures and a User Color mode which allows independent adjustment of  
red (R), green (G), and blue (B). The factory setting for this product is 6500K  
(6500 Kelvin).  
sRGB-This is quickly becoming the industry standard for color management,  
with support being included in many of the latest applications. Enabling this  
setting allows the LCD display to more accurately display colors the way they  
were originally intended. Enabling the sRGB setting will cause the Contrast and  
Brightness adjustments to be disabled.

Troubleshooting  
No power  
• Make sure power button (or switch) is ON.  
• Make sure A/C power cord is securely connected to the LCD display.  
• Plug another electrical device (like a radio) into the power outlet to verify that the outlet is  
supplying proper voltage.  
Power is ON but no screen image  
• Make sure the video cable supplied with the LCD display is tightly secured to the video  
output port on the back of the computer. If the other end of the video cable is not attached  
permanently to the LCD display, tightly secure it to the LCD display.  
• Adjust brightness and contrast.  
• If you are using an Macintosh older than G3, you need a Macintosh adapter.  
Wrong or abnormal colors  
• If any colors (red, green, or blue) are missing, check the video cable to make sure it is  
securely connected. Loose or broken pins in the cable connector could cause an improper  
connection.  
• Connect the LCD display to another computer.  
• If you have an older graphics card, contact ViewSonic® for a non-DDC adapter.  
Control buttons do not work  
• Press only one button at a time.
