ꢀThe LCD contains over
2,300,000 thin film
transistors (TFTs). A small
number of missing,
discolored, or lighted dots
may be present on the
screen, which is an
intrinsic characteristic of
the TFT LCD technology
and is not an LCD defect.
A few dots are
missing,
discolored, or
inappropriately
lighted.
“COARSE” (pixel frequency) controls the number of pixels scanned by one
horizontal sweep. If the frequency is not correct, the screen shows vertical
stripes and the picture does not have the correct width.
“FINE” adjust the phase of the pixel clock signal. With a wrong phase
adjustment the picture has horizontal disturbances in light picture.
For “FINE” and “COARSE” adjustment use a dot pattern or Windows 95/98
/ME/XP/2000 shutdown screen.

FACTORY PRESET TIMING TABLE
DISPLAY MODES
The display mode the monitor uses is controlled by the computer. Therefore,
you should refer to your computer documentation for details in how to change
display modes.
The image size, position and shape may change when the display mode
changes. This is normal and the image can be readjusted using the monitor
controls.
Unlike CRT monitors, which require a high refresh rate to minimize flicker,
TFT technology is inherently flicker-free. If possible, configure your computer
for 1024 X 768 addressability at 60Hz vertical refresh rate.
For the display modes listed below, the screen image has been optimized
during manufacture.
