ControlSync works by controlling all connected sub monitors from the master monitor simultaneously, and also by controlling a target monitor from the master monitor using the INDIVIDUAL ADJUST function (see page 19). Controlling all connected sub monitors (Synchronized control): 1. Connect the master monitor to a sub monitor via a ControlSync cable (ø 2.5) into ControlSync IN/OUT. 2. Follow the steps for DATA COPY (see page 19).
The following settings can be controlled by ControlSync: ECO TOOLS SCREEN COLOR TOOLS MENU TOOLS MULTI DISPLAY ECO INFORMATION BRIGHTNESS* CONTRAST ECO MODE AUTO BRIGHTNESS BLACK LEVEL OFF MODE SETTING OFF MODE SENSOR SETTING OFF MODE START TIME HUMAN SENSING HUMAN SENSOR SETTING HUMAN SENSOR START TIME DV MODE AUTO ADJUST AUTO CONTRAST LEFT/RIGHT DOWN/UP H.
OSD (On-Screen Display) control keys on the front of the monitor function as follows: To access the OSD menu, touch any of the control keys. To change the signal input, touch the SELECT key. NOTE: Exit the OSD in order to change signal input. 1 Ambient Light Sensor Human Sensor Detects the level of ambient lighting and the presence of a user, allowing the monitor to make adjustments to various settings resulting in a more comfortable viewing experience. Do not cover this sensor.
ECO MODE Decreases the amount of power consumption by reducing the brightness level. OFF: No function. 1: Sets brightness variable range from 0% to 70%. This setting can adjust brightness to a range in which power is reduced by 15% compared to the maximum brightness setting. 2: Sets brightness variable range from 0% to 30%. This setting can adjust brightness to a range in which power is reduced by 40% compared to the maximum brightness setting.
Adjusts the threshold level of human sensing. When the human icon is located on the right side of the white color bar or vermilion color wave, a person is not detected. NOTE: The human sensing function starts after the OSD menu is closed. START TIME (HUMAN SENSING) Adjusts the wait time of entering to low brightness mode or power saving mode when Human Sensor detects no person. DV MODE Dynamic Visual Mode allows you to select from the following settings: STANDARD: Standard setting.
FINE (Analog input only) Improve focus, clarity and image stability by increasing or decreasing this setting. If the “Auto Adjust” function and the “H.SIZE” function do not give you a satisfactory picture setting, fine tuning can be performed by using the “FINE” function. A Moiré test pattern can be used for this. If the Fine value is incorrectly calibrated, the result would look like the left drawing. The image should be homogeneous. When FINE value is wrong. When FINE value is correct.
VOLUME Controls the volume of the speakers or headphones. To mute the speaker output touch the “ECO/RESET” key. SOUND INPUT (HDMI, DisplayPort inputs only) This function selects Audio Input, HDMI or DisplayPort. VIDEO DETECT Selects the method of video detection when more than one video input is connected. FIRST: When current video input signal is not present, the monitor searches for a video signal from the other video input ports.
OSD LOCK OUT This control completely locks out access to all OSD control functions except for Brightness, Contrast and Volume. To activate the OSD Lock Out function, enter the OSD menu, select OSD LOCK OUT, then touch “SELECT” and RIGHT simultaneously. To deactivate, touch “SELECT” and LEFT simultaneously. OSD ROTATION This controls the OSD menu angle. Depending on the image angle (monitor rotation), select a suitable OSD rotation setting. NOTE: Please set the KEY GUIDE to “ON” to display the key guide.
To initiate data copy from the master monitor to the sub monitor(s), select “DATA COPY” and touch “SELECT”. A “PROCEEDING...” indicator will appear on the screen. NOTE: This function is only intended for the master monitor in ControlSync. All of the settings specified in the ControlSync chart (see page 12) will be copied from the master monitor to the sub monitor(s). CUSTOMIZE SETTING Store the current settings for easy recovery. To store current settings: Touch “SELECT”.
Information Provides information about the current resolution display and technical data including the preset timing being used and the horizontal and vertical frequencies. Indicates the model and serial numbers of your monitor. OSD Warning OSD warning menus disappear when EXIT is selected. NO SIGNAL: This function gives a warning when there is no horizontal or vertical sync. After power is turned on or when there is a change of input signal, the No Signal window will appear.

Troubleshooting No picture • Make sure the signal cable is fully connected to both the monitor and the computer. • Make sure the computer’s display card is fully seated in its slot. • Do not use a DisplayPort converter adapter. This device is not supported. • Make sure both the computer and monitor power switches are in the ON position. • The monitor will automatically turn off by “POWER SAVE TIMER” function when “POWER SAVE TIMER” setting is “ON” and continuing power save mode for 2 hours.
• Make sure the computer is not in a power-saving mode (touch the keyboard or mouse). • When using DisplayPort, some display cards do not output video signal under low resolution modes when the monitor is turned OFF/ON or disconnected/connected from the AC power cord. • When using an HDMI input, please change “OVER SCAN”. No Sound • Make sure the speaker cable is properly connected. • Check to see if mute is activated. • Check the volume level in the OSD menu.
Human sensing function Human sensing function reduces power consumption by detecting the movement of a person. The HUMAN SENSING has following two settings: MODE HUMAN SENSING SETTING No person in front of the monitor LIGHT 1 BRIGHTNESS 0% DEEP 2 Power saving mode Image of human sensing operation A. When the sensor detects no person in front of the monitor, the monitor stays on for the period of time which is set at HUMAN SENSING > START TIME (see page 15). B.
The brightness of the LCD screen can be set to increase or decrease depending on the amount of ambient lighting within the room. If the room is bright, the monitor becomes correspondingly bright. If the room is dim, then the monitor will dim accordingly. The purpose of this function is to make the viewing experience more comfortable to the eye in a variety of lighting conditions.
