* H Position: adjust the horizontal position of display. V Position: adjust the vertical position of display. Phase: adjust the phase position of data sampling. See details in next section. Clock: adjust the number of clocks for each horizontal line.

* Video Utility: enter a sub-menu for video adjustment. They are:

* R,G,B: separated control of each Red, Green, and Blue colors. Usually set to same value for all three colors.

* Input Level: select between 0.7Vp-p and 1Vp-p of the input video signal level. Change this when CONTRAST adjustment does not provide the acceptable image quality.

* Black Level: set the base of the display blackness. Left this in the default value of 127 will provide best result. Frequency Information: show you the H-Sync and V-Syne frequencies of input video signal.

* Language: select between English and German.

* Recall: recall the default setting and ignore all changes of current video mode. After your adjustment KX1 will store the change into non-volatile memory when the OSD menu is off. So next time when you turn on the computer the setting will automatically restore. Phase Adjustment Phase adjustment is a new adjustment of LCD monitor, which do not exist in conventional CRT monitor. It is sometimes called vertical fine-tune. It plays very important role in the display quality of LCD monitor. The phase adjustment is to obtain the best display quality on your LCD monitor. The display quality is highly input signal dependent. Which means the best value of phase adjustment depends on the combination of all the following factors:

input video source (different PC or different display card) display resolution (VGA, SVGA, or VGA) frame rate (75 Hz or lower) type of display image (text, graphic, or image) contrast and brightness setting So a practical way to obtain best display quality is to adjust the phase with the PC you are going to use and under the video mode (resolution and frame rate) that you most frequently use. Some test patterns can help to such a phase adjustment. Therefore, included in the package there is an MS-

Window utility called Display Quality Check, DQC.EXE, which contains several test patterns to help you with the phase adjustment. If your system is not MS-Window, then you may find similar patterns to help you with it. Following is a simple guideline for phase adjustment:

* Connect the KX1 LCD monitor to the PC that you will use. Turn on the computer and set the desired resolution and frame rate. The recommended mode is 1024 x 768, 75 Hz, and 24-bits colors.

* Adjust the contrast first. Use the 16 gray scale bars of DQC.EXE and adjust the CONTRAST setting till all 16 steps are clearly distinguishable.

* Enter the line and dot Moire patterns of DQC.EXE and press MENU and move to PHASE item. Then adjust the PHASE value to obtain min fluctuation on the screen.

* Save the change by pressing the MENU again to close OSD menu. Large screen area compatible with conventional 17 CRT monitors.

* Supports 16 million color in VGA, SVGA, and XVGA resolution.

* Multi-scan ability to accept horizontal frequencies from 25 to 60 KHz and vertical frequencies from 50 to 75 Hz. Ergonomic Design Anti-glare coating reduces eyestrain.

* Tilt base allows 30 Xiotation vertically for user comfortable.

* Low magnetic field or electrostatic charges for increased user safety. Environmentally Friendly

* Occupy much less desktop space than a conventional CRT monitor.

* Consumes less than one third of power that a conventional CRT monitor uses.

* Conforms to VESA DPMS standards for reduce power consumption when not in use.

* Conforms to EnergyStar for energy efficiency. System Flexibility

* Equipped with DDC1 and DDC2B for Plug & Play compatibility.

* Universal AC adapter accepts input of 100 to 240 VAC at 50 or 60 Hz.

* The KX1 can be used with IBM or compatible PC Contents 1.
