Choosing the best picture resolution
Due to the nature of LCD display technology, the picture resolution is always fixed. The best
picture possible for your FP785 is achieved with a resolution of 1280x1024. This is called “Native
Resolution” or maximal resolution - that is, the clearest picture. Lower resolutions are displayed
on a full screen through an interpolation circuit. However flaws do occur with the interpolated
resolution. So if you want to have all the advantages of LCD technology you must use the native
resolution. If you are using Windows 98/2000/ME or XP you can change the picture resolution as
follows:
1. Double-click the “Display” icon in the Control Panel.
2. From the “Display Properties” window, select the “Settings” tab. You can alter the resolution by
using the slider on the right-hand side.
36

3. Select a resolution of 1280x1024. Then click “Apply”.

How to choose the right Refresh Rate
You don't have to choose the highest possible refresh rate on an LCD display, because it is not
technically possible for an LCD display to flicker. The best results are obtained by using the factory
modes already set in your computer. There is a table with the factory modes in this user’s guide.
Youc an choose 60 Hertz, (but not 72Hz) for the native resolution of 1280x1024. In Windows
98/2000/ME/XP you can change the refresh rate as follows:
1. Double click the “Display” icon in the Control Panel.

window.
4. Choose a refresh rate from the table with the factory modes, which can be found in the user’s
guide, and select this in the settings field.
5. In the subsequent windows press “Change”, “ OK” and “Yes”.
6. You can now close “Display Properties”.

How to set the Picture Optimization
The easiest way to obtain an optimal display is to use the ikey function. Press the “ikey” on the
control panel and the monitor will adjust automatically.
If you are still not satisfied with the result, you can still adjust the image manually.
1. Run the test program auto.exe from CD-ROM; this is the best way to observe possible changes.
You can also use any other image, such as the desktop of your operating system. However, we rec-
ommend that you use auto.exe. As you run auto.exe, a test pattern emerges.
2. Press “Enter” on control panel to access OSD.
3. If there is vertical noise observed, press W or X key to select “Geometry” and press “Enter” key.
Then press W or X key to select “Pixel Clock” and also press “Enter” key again. Now, press W or
X key to adjust the monitor untill the noise disappears.
4. If there is horizontal noise observed, press W or X key to select “Geometry” and press “Enter”
key. Then press W or X key to select “Phase” and also press “Enter” key again. Now, press W or
X to adjust the monitor untill the noise disappears.
To make sure the “iKey” function performs well, you have to use one of the supported modes. If
the “iKey” does not work properly and the “NON PRESET MODE” message is on the OSD, it
means you are not using one of the supported modes. Please set your computer to use one of the
supported modes. You will find a list of supported modes in this manual.

Troubleshooting
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The image is blurred:
Read the Installation/Application section, and then select the correct resolution, refresh rate
and make adjustments based on these instructions.
How do you use a VGA extension cable?
Remove the extension cable for the test. Is the image now in focus? If not, optimize the image by
working through the instructions in the Installation/Adjustment section. It is normal for blurring
to occur due to conduction losses in extension cables. You can minimize these losses by using an
extension cable with better conduction quality or with a built-in booster.
Does the blurring only occur at resolutions lower than the native (maximum) resolution?
Read the Installation/Adjustment section. Select the native resolution.
Pixel errors can be seen:
One of several pixels are permanently black, one or more pixels are permanently white, one or
more pixels are permanently red, green, blue or another color.
Read the Pixel error rates section.
The image has a faulty coloration:
It has a yellow, blue or pink appearance.
On the monitor, press “Enter” key and press W or X key to move to the “Recall” icon and press
“Enter” key to enter “Recall” sub menu. Press W or X key to select “Color Recall” and select “Yes”
in “Color Recall” sub menu, then press “Enter” key to recall to factory settings. If the image is still
not correct and the OSD also has faulty coloration, this means one of the three primary colors is
missing in the signal input. Now check the signal cable connectors. If any pin is bent or broken off,
please contact your dealer to get necessary support.
No image can be seen:
Is the prompt on the display illuminated in green?
If the LED is illuminated in green and there is a message “Out of Range” on the screen, this means
you are using a display mode that this monitor does not support, please change the setting to one
of the supported mode. Please read “Supported operating modes” section.
Is the prompt on the display illuminated in orange?
If the LED is illuminated in orange, the power management mode is active. Press any button on
the computer keyboard or move the mouse. If that does not help, check the signal cable
connectors. If any pin is bent or broken off, please contact your dealer to get necessary support.
Is the prompt on the display not illuminated at all?
Check the power supply mains socket, the external power supply and the mains switch.
52
Troubleshooting
The image is distorted, flashes or flickers:
Read the Installation//section and then select the correct resolution, refresh rate and make
adjustments based on these instructions.
The image is displaced in one direction:
Read the Installation//section and then select the correct resolution, refresh rate and make
adjustments based on these instructions.

• Modes not listed in the table may not be supported. For an optimal picture, we recommended you
choose a mode listed in the table above.
• There are 22 available modes that are compatible with Windows.
• Image disruption may occur as a result of signal frequency differences from VGA cards which do
not correspond with the usual standard. This is not, however, an error. You may improve this
situation by altering an automatic setting or by manually changing the phase setting and the pixel
frequency from the “Geometry” menu.
• If you switch off the monitor, interference lines can occur on your screen. But do not be concerned
about this, as it is normal.
• To extend the service life of the product, we recommend that you use your computer's power
