Mode and Image Adjustment

Not all video controllers produce exactly the same video output levels or the same timing. The

following procedure can be used to select the desired video mode as well as optimize your monitor’s

image quality. When adjusting your monitor, the use of video test software such as DisplayMate for

Windows by SONERA Technologies can be very beneficial.

The SXT1811 automatically adjusts to most incoming video signals. Usually, only brightness, contrast

and phase need to be adjusted by the user. “On Screen Programming” helps make setup and adjustment

of these settings easy. The menus are selected and the menu items are adjusted using the buttons

located on the monitor’s front panel. These buttons are enabled or disabled by a rocker switch labeled

“SET UP” located on the side of the monitor. This feature is provided to inhibit tampering once the

monitor is in actual use. Turn the SET UP switch to the ‘On’ position to enable set up and adjustment. If

you are using a “Plus and Play” operating system adjust your desktop display settings to the following

before connecting the SXT1811 to your computer:

Vertical Refresh: 60Hz

Resolution: 1280 x1024

If you are using a “Plug and Play” operating system, the monitor type and default settings are

automatically detected by the operating system. If you are not using “Plug and Play”, set your monitor

type to:

Manufacture: (Standard monitor type)

Model: Super VGA 1280 x 1024 @75Hz

Vertical Refresh: 60Hz

Resolution: 1280 x1024

Once the monitor is powered up, press the menu button. After the On Screen Display (OSD)

menu appears select the “Brightness and Contrast” function by continuing to depress the menu button

until it’s graphic is highlighted.

Once this graphic is highlighted the following image will appear:

Brightness Increase/decrease panel brightness level, total: 100 steps

Contrast

Increase/decrease panel contrast level, total: 100 steps

Use the ⇑ and ß buttons to select either contrast or brightness. Now use ⇐ and Þ buttons to set

the desired level. Once brightness and contrast have been set the phase should be adjusted. Continue

pressing the menu button until “Frequency and Phase” graphic is highlighted.

Once this graphic is highlighted the following image will appear:

Frequency Adjust the image horizontal size

Phase
