7 Adjusting the Monitor Picture Optimisation The easiest way to obtain an optimal picture is by using the AUTO button. This only works reliably if the graphics adaptor is set to use one of the monitor’s factory modes (see Table 1 in the previous chapter) and if you are displaying an appropriate full-screen test pattern. Windows users should run the adjustment software (Auto.exe) from the Utilities floppy disk to display the correct test pattern. Press the Auto button once the test pattern is displayed.

To manually adjust the image: 1. Display the adjustment test pattern. This is the best way to observe changes as you adjust the image. Windows users should run the Auto.exe test pattern program.

Open the OSD menu by pressing the Enter button on the monitor. 3. Use < or > to select Pixel Clock and then press Enter. 4.
