Video ScalingSets video aspect ratios and scaling between Wide, Zoom, 1:1, and Panoramic modes.  
PC input: sets resolution aspect ratios and scaling between Wide, Zoom, and 1:1.  
Wide mode stretches a standard broadcast or full-frame image to fill the entire  
screen. Widescreen (1.76:1) images fill the entire screen without distortion, while  
widescreen (1.85:1 and 2.35:1) images appear without distortion but with black  
bars at the top and bottom. PC input: Stretches the image to fit the entire screen.  
Zoom mode crops off a portion of a widescreen image in order to fill the entire  
screen with a distortion-free and black bar-free image. PC input: Zooms the  
image to fill the screen from top to bottom with black bars on the left and right  
sides of the image.  
1:1 mode preserves a movies original aspect ratio, so a standard broadcast or  
full-frame movie appears with black bars on the left and right of the image. PC input:  
Preserves the original aspect ratio of the resolution by using black bars on the left  
and right sides and variable sizes of black bars on the top and bottom of the image  
(depends on resolution).  
Panoramic mode uses selective distortion to stretch a standard broadcast or  
full-frame image to fill the entire screen. Unlike Wide mode, Panoramic mode  
stretches only the left and right sides of the image, and leaves the center of the  
image distortion free.  
OverscanA video signal is often displayed slightly cut off at all edges. If  
overscan is turned off, you may notice video anomalies on the edges of the video being displayed. This is  
normal and is part of the data embedded in any broadcast video signal. To avoid seeing these anomalies,  
turn Overscan on. (Component and HDMI video only)  
Noise ReductionUses noise reduction filters that adapt to the amount of noise and motion from the  
video source.  
Film Mode DetectionFilm Mode Detection detects frame rates of the source image and adapts the frame

Only 480i component (Y Pb Pr) video can be used with VGA as a PIP. With this combination, the Swap feature is not available. To switch  
to full-screen component video when 480i content is used as a PIP, touch the Input Select button in the Shortcut menu.  
If a 480p source is input to the Y Pb Pr jacks and Y Pb Pr is a PIP display within a VGA main display, the PIP image will be distorted.  
Change the output of your external Y Pb Pr device to 480i if PIP is required with VGA to eliminate the PIP distortion. For more  
information, see your Y Pb Pr devices user guide.  
** For some video resolutions, refresh rates, and video scaling modes, PIP may not be allowed. If you receive a message that PIP is not  
available, try the following:  
Adjust the refresh rate in Windows to 60 Hz. See Windows online Help for more information.  
Adjust the video scaling mode to Wide on your monitor.  
Change the resolution of the Windows desktop to match your monitors full resolution of 1680 × 1050. For more information see

Using Your Gateway Flat-Panel Monitor  
Changing Windows screen settings  
Adjusting the color depth and screen area are two of the most basic display settings you may need  
to change. You can also adjust settings such as the screen background and screen saver.  
Changing color depth and screen resolution  
Color depth and screen resolution are two of the most basic monitor settings you may need to  
change to suit your needs.  
Color depth is the number of colors your computer uses to display images on your monitor. Most  
images look best displayed with the maximum number of colors available. If the color in your  
images seems false” or “jumpy,” especially after you have played a game or run a video-intensive  
program, check the color depth setting and return it to the highest color setting, if necessary.  
Screen resolution is the number of pixels (individual colored dots) your computer uses to display  
images on your monitor. The higher the resolution, the more information and screen components  
(such as icons and menu bars) can be displayed on your monitor.

When connected to a computer that supports the VESA Display Power Management Signaling  
(DPMS) Protocol, your monitor can conserve significant energy by reducing power consumption  
during periods of non-use. When your computer goes into the energy saving mode, your monitor  
will then enter the Active Off mode (sleep). In the Active Off mode the Power LED will still show  
orange.  
Use these conventions and the power can be reduced to the following levels:

Your monitor has pixels that are always dark or too bright  
This condition is normal and inherent in the TFT technology used in active-matrix LCD  
screens. Gateways inspection standards keep these to a minimum. If you feel these pixels  
are unacceptably numerous or dense on your display, contact Gateway Customer Care to  
identify whether a repair or replacement is justified based on the number of pixels affected.  
Configuring video settings  
The image looks stretched or fuzzy when you connect your monitor to your computer.  
You must adjust the operating systems display settings to match your monitors optimal  
(native) 1680 × 1050 setting. For information on adjusting settings in Windows, see  
Changing color depth and screen resolution” on page 10.  
You do not see 1680 × 1050 available in the Windows display control panel.  
Make sure that your video card can display at 1680 × 1050 resolution.  
This may be caused by older video drivers on your computer. See the Gateway support Web  
site (www.gateway.com) for updated video drivers for your computer. You can also go  
directly to your video cards support Web site for the most up-to-date video drivers. The Web  
sites for the major video card manufacturers are:  
When you run your games, you do not see support for widescreen displays.  
Newer games are adding support for widescreen displays as the widescreen format becomes  
more popular. Check the games Web site for updates. You can also consult the following  
Web site for specific settings and options to configure older games to support widescreen:  
Some adjustments may require you to make changes to the Windows System Registry. We  
recommend making a complete system backup before changing the System Registry.  
When you display video from a component video source, the video looks overly compressed.  
See your video devices user manual to adjust the video or TV format output to 16:9. Setting  
this option to 4:3 results in compressed video. This is done differently on all brands of video  
devices, so it is important that you read your video devices user guide or the help tools  
within your video devices software.

When you try to use Picture in Picture (PIP) component video at 480p, 720p, or 1080i, either  
no video is displayed or you see corrupted video.  
This is a normal operation of your monitor. If you want to view component video in PIP, adjust  
the video output of your external device to 480i.

You need to know whether you can connect the HDMI output of your external video device  
to the DVI port of your monitor.  
Important  
Although the HDMI interface supports audio, no audio is sent to your monitor. You  
must separatelyconnect the audio output of your video device to an external audio amplifier.  
Yes, you can. When using the digital connection, your video content remains completely  
digital from your external video device (such as a cable box, HD DVR, or DVD player). This  
results in a superior digital image. Also, in this configuration the PIP can support the input  
of all HD resolutions.  
Gaming  
You need to know whether you can connect your game console to this monitor.  
Yes, you can, if your game console supports HDMI or component video. Using optional video  
cables, you can connect your game console directly to your monitor. If your game console  
supports Component (YPbPr), this results in the best picture quality.  
Speaker bar does not work  
I installed the speaker bar, but no sound is coming out of the speakers.  
Make sure that the speaker bar power cord is plugged into the speaker bar power connector  
under your monitor.  
Check the position of the audio input selection switch on the left side of the speaker bar.  
If you are using HDMI as the audio and video source, make sure that the HDMI audio cable  
is connected to the HDMI audio output on your monitor. Also make sure that your HDMI audio  
source is set to PCM or Analog audio.  
I checked all the connections, but I still do not get any sound.  
Your headphone/ speaker jack may have been muted using Windows sound controls. To  
check your headphone/ speaker mute settings, click the speaker icon in the Windows taskbar,  
or click Start, Control Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices, the Volume tab, then click  
Advanced. For optimum volume control using the speaker bar, we recommend that you  
set the Windows volume mid-way between the lowest and highest setting.  
I want to plug in my headphones, but there is a headphone jack on both sides of the speaker  
bar. Which should I use?  
You can use either jack or both jacks at the same time.  
The sound coming from the speakers sounds distorted.  
Turn down the volume until the distortion disappears.  
Check the audio output volume of the sound device the speaker bar is connected to. If the  
audio devices output volume is set too high, the speaker bars sound may always be  
distorted. To adjust the audio devices output volume, see the devices user guide. To adjust  
the volume in Windows XP, click the speaker icon in the Windows taskbar, or click Start,  
Control Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices, the Volume tab, then click Advanced. For  
optimum volume control using the speaker bar, we recommend that you set the Windows  
volume mid-way between the lowest and highest setting.  
I plugged my microphone into the speaker bars microphone jack, but my computer cannot  
record any sound.  
Make sure that the speaker bars pink microphone plug is connected to the microphone jack  
on your computer.  
Your microphone jack may have been muted using Windows sound controls. To check your  
microphones mute settings, click the speaker icon in the Windows taskbar, or click Start,  
Control Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices, the Volume tab, then click Advanced.

HDCP  
What is HDCP and how should you troubleshoot it?  
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a specification developed by the Intel®  
Corporation to protect digital entertainment content that uses a digital visual interface (DVI).  
HDCP encrypts the transmission of digital content (signal) between the video source (computer,  
DVD player, or set-top box) and the digital display (monitor, digital television/ DTV, or projector).  
HDCP is not designed to prevent copying or recording of digital content, but only to protect the  
integrity of the content as transmitted.  
You see “noise” or “trash” on the screen.  
When your displays digital capabilities exceed a digital broadcast signal, the signal is  
increased (up-converted) to match the display capabilities. Up-converting can cause noise”  
or “trash.” The signal on DVI-D is HDCP encoded. Stop and restart the source to allow  
renegotiation.  
How HDCP works.  
Implementation of HDCP requires a license obtainable from the Digital Content Protection,  
LLC, which then issues a set of unique secret device keys to all authorized devices. During  
authentication, the receiving device only accepts content after it acknowledges the keys. To  
further prevent stealing of the data or line tapping, the transmitter and receiver generate  
a shared secret value that is constantly checked throughout the transmission. After  
authentication is established, the transmitter encrypts the data and sends it to the receiver  
for decryption.  
You lose the signal to the display while watching a movie on a HDCP-equipped component.  
The component must be restarted to establish renegotiation.  
For example, while watching a movie on a HDCP-enabled DVD player, you change the  
receiving device (DTV, monitor, or projector) input to watch broadcast TV, then change the  
input back to watch the DVD movie. However, you are unable to watch the movie. This is  
because when the input was changed, the receiver lost the HDCP signal. Restart the  
HDCP-enabled DVD player to allow renegotiation.  
A movie starts, but then slowly fades to static.  
The receiving device is not HDCP compatible or it is not negotiating correctly. Restart the  
video source and re-plug all video cables from the source to the TV.  
How to determine whether a component is HDCP compliant.  
If the video source device does not have a DVI or HDMI connection, it is not HDCP compliant.  
DCDi by Faroudja  
What is DCDi by Faroudja?  
DCDi® by Faroudja is a video mode algorithm that stands for Directional Correlation De-Interlacing.  
It was initially designed for fast-action video-based material. Its general purpose is to reduce  
jagged edges along diagonal lines caused by interpolation. Utilizing this algorithm, DCDi does not  
simply weave together two fields of video that match. DCDi creates new information through  
interpolation which smooths” the diagonal edges. DCDi constantly monitors edge transitions and  
fills in any of the gaps that need smoothing.

You have your monitor connected to your notebooks VGA port, but you see no image on  
the screen.  
You have two options:  
If your notebook supports dual displays, you can use both your notebooks display and  
this monitor in extended desktop multi-monitor mode. See Windows Help to learn how  
to enable multiple monitors.  
You can also use this monitor as your primary monitor and not use the notebooks  
screen. Notebook computers typically have an FN key combination that lets you toggle  
between your notebooks display and an externally attached display. On Gateway  
notebooks, this key combination is FN+F4. The F4 key is located along the top row of  
keys. See your notebooks user guide for more information.
