Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Can I use the OSD controls on the monitor to change the current Picture Mode?
Answer: Yes. When there is no OSD shown on the screen, press the up or down arrow buttons on the right side of the
monitor to quickly access the Picture Mode.
However, be aware that the ICC/ColorSync prole for the newly selected Picture Mode will not be generated and
registered with the Color Management System if the OSD is used rather than the MultiProler application. If you are not
using a color managed workow then this is not normally an issue.
Also, if you are switching between color modes based on the same basic color settings (gamma, color gamut and white
point), or between a normal Picture Mode and a Print Emulation based on that normal Picture Mode, then the ICC/
ColorSync proles will be the same and the OSD can be used.
Question: How can I change the Brightness on the OSD when using a Custom Picture Mode?
Answer: It is not possible to use the OSD controls to adjust the Custom Picture Mode settings. Use MultiProler to
make any adjustments.
Question: When I create a Custom Print Emulation Picture Mode, what is the ICC/ColorSync prole that is created and
registered with the Color Management System?
Answer: The prole is still a display prole, and represents the color gamut of the monitor as selected on the Print
Emulation pages of the Color Conguration Wizard. So, for example, if you selected that the Display Gamut is sRGB,
then the prole created will reect a color gamut of sRGB.
Question: How does the monitor calculate colors and luminance values?
Answer: The supported MultiSync monitors are individually factory calibrated using a highly accurate lab-grade color
measurement device. This calibration is combined with internal luminance, temperature and time monitoring of the
display monitor in order to provide stable and accurate color. The internal SpectraView Engine color processor takes
these factory measurements together with the internal sensor values and automatically calculates and compensates for
color changes, and allows color values such as white point and brightness to be specied in absolute values.
Question: Is it possible to calibrate the monitor using an external color sensor?
Answer: Yes. The SpectraView II software is available to calibrate the monitor if necessary. In addition, the OSD or
MultiProler controls can be used together with a 3rd party application to manually adjust the monitor together with an
external color sensors if necessary.
Question: Why is the eciRGB V2 Picture Mode preset not enabled?
Answer: This preset is not available on some older units, and models that are not wide color gamut (PA231W, P232W,
P241W and P242W). Firmware upgrades are available for older wide gamut units that add the eciRGB V2 Picture Mode.
The same functionality can be gained by manually creating a Picture Mode with the same color characteristics. Select
a Color Gamut of ECI/NTSC (1953), and a gamma of L* curve.
