Video Adjust menu Unless otherwise indicated, these settings apply only to SD (standard definition) video at 480i and below. Where “PC input” is indicated, the resolutions that apply are from 800 × 600 to 1680 × 1050. Sharpness—Adjusts sharpness for video images. Video Scaling—Sets video aspect ratios and scaling between Wide, Zoom, 1:1, and Panoramic modes. PC input: sets resolution aspect ratios and scaling between Wide, Zoom, and 1:1. Wide mode stretches a standard broadcast or full-frame image to fill the entire screen. Widescreen (1.76:1) images fill the entire screen without distortion, while widescreen (1.85:1 and 2.35:1) images appear without distortion but with black bars at the top and bottom. PC input: Stretches the image to fit the entire screen. Zoom mode crops off a portion of a widescreen image in order to fill the entire screen with a distortion-free and black bar-free image. PC input: Zooms the image to fill the screen from top to bottom with black bars on the left and right sides of the image. 1:1 mode preserves a movie’s original aspect ratio, so a standard broadcast or full-frame movie appears with black bars on the left and right of the image. PC input: Preserves the original aspect ratio of the resolution by using black bars on the left and right sides and variable sizes of black bars on the top and bottom of the image (depends on resolution). Panoramic mode uses selective distortion to stretch a standard broadcast or full-frame image to fill the entire screen. Unlike Wide mode, Panoramic mode stretches only the left and right sides of the image, and leaves the center of the image distortion free. Overscan—A video signal is often displayed slightly cut off at all edges. If overscan is turned off, you may notice video anomalies on the edges of the video being displayed. This is normal and is part of the data embedded in any broadcast video signal. To avoid seeing these anomalies, turn Overscan on. (Component and HDMI video only) Noise Reduction—Uses noise reduction filters that adapt to the amount of noise and motion from the video source. Film Mode Detection—Film Mode Detection detects frame rates of the source image and adapts the frame rate of the display for ultimate image quality. Bad Edit Detection and Correction—corrects incorrectly synchronized video. Auto Video Enhance—Enables DCDi, Cross Color Reduction, and MADI for optimized video performance. DCDi by Faroudja—Directional Correlation De-interlacing reduces jagged edge artifacts on diagonal lines. Cross Color Reduction—Reduces cross-color artifacts, such as unintentional flashing colors or rainbow patterns, that result from some types of video signals. MADI—Motion-Adaptive De-Interlacing ensures a more static (flicker-free) display image for image sections not containing moving elements, and ensures smoother edges for moving elements. 8 www.gateway.com OSD Menu Description Geometry menu (VGA mode only) H Position—Moves the display image left and right.

LED Mode—Changes the brightness of the Standby and Power LED to Day Mode or Nite Mode. When watching movies in a darkened room, you may want to change the LED mode to Nite Mode to avoid an over-bright, distracting power LED indicator. DVI Video mode—Changes the DVI video mode by enabling either RGB Color Space (used for digital input) and YUV Color Space (used for analog TV input such as NTSC, PAL, and SECAM). Information—Displays current screen resolution and input source for the main display. Resolution reminder—If the computer display resolution (VGA and DVI) is not set to 1680 × 1050, displays a reminder that you should change your computer’s settings to use the optimum 1680 × 1050 resolution. If you prefer using your monitor at a resolution less than 1680 × 1050, use this option to turn off the Resolution Reminder. For information on changing your computer’s display resolution, see “Changing Windows screen settings” on page 10. UltraResponse—If you experience video quality problems with shadows in fast-moving images, you can disable this to return to the display’s native response time. Reset All—Resets all values to the factory settings. Using Picture-in-Picture (PIP) Picture-in-Picture (PIP) is a convenient way to view video from multiple video sources at the same time. Refer to the following chart to determine which combinations of video sources can be used as a PIP display. PIP display Main display VGA** DVI** Component (Y Pb Pr) HDMI VGA - OK No OK DVI OK - OK No Component (Y Pb Pr) No OK - OK HDMI OK No OK - Only 480i component (Y Pb Pr) video can be used with VGA as a PIP. With this combination, the Swap feature is not available. To switch to full-screen component video when 480i content is used as a PIP, touch the Input Select button in the Shortcut menu. If a 480p source is input to the Y Pb Pr jacks and Y Pb Pr is a PIP display within a VGA main display, the PIP image will be distorted. Change the output of your external Y Pb Pr device to 480i if PIP is required with VGA to eliminate the PIP distortion. For more information, see your Y Pb Pr device’s user guide. ** For some video resolutions, refresh rates, and video scaling modes, PIP may not be allowed. If you receive a message that PIP is not available, try the following: ■ ■ ■ Adjust the refresh rate in Windows to 60 Hz. See Windows online Help for more information. Adjust the video scaling mode to Wide on your monitor. Change the resolution of the Windows desktop to match your monitor’s full resolution of 1680 × 1050. For more information see “Changing color depth and screen resolution” on page 10. 9 Using Your Gateway Flat-Panel Monitor Changing Windows screen settings Adjusting the color depth and screen area are two of the most basic display settings you may need to change. You can also adjust settings such as the screen background and screen saver. Changing color depth and screen resolution Color depth and screen resolution are two of the most basic monitor settings you may need to change to suit your needs. Color depth is the number of colors your computer uses to display images on your monitor. Most images look best displayed with the maximum number of colors available. If the color in your images seems “false” or “jumpy,” especially after you have played a game or run a video-intensive program, check the color depth setting and return it to the highest color setting, if necessary. Screen resolution is the number of pixels (individual colored dots) your computer uses to display images on your monitor. The higher the resolution, the more information and screen components (such as icons and menu bars) can be displayed on your monitor.

(VGA mode only) Use the position controls to adjust the image. For instructions on how to adjust the display image position, see “Adjusting monitor settings” on page 6. Your monitor has pixels that are always dark or too bright • This condition is normal and inherent in the TFT technology used in active-matrix LCD screens. Gateway’s inspection standards keep these to a minimum. If you feel these pixels are unacceptably numerous or dense on your display, contact Gateway Customer Care to identify whether a repair or replacement is justified based on the number of pixels affected. Configuring video settings The image looks stretched or fuzzy when you connect your monitor to your computer. • You must adjust the operating system’s display settings to match your monitor’s optimal (native) 1680 × 1050 setting. For information on adjusting settings in Windows, see “Changing color depth and screen resolution” on page 10. You do not see 1680 × 1050 available in the Windows display control panel. • Make sure that your video card can display at 1680 × 1050 resolution. • This may be caused by older video drivers on your computer. See the Gateway support Web site (www.gateway.com) for updated video drivers for your computer. You can also go directly to your video card’s support Web site for the most up-to-date video drivers. The Web sites for the major video card manufacturers are: ATI®: www.ati.com Intel®: www.intel.com Nvidia®: www.nvidia.com When you run your games, you do not see support for widescreen displays. • Newer games are adding support for widescreen displays as the widescreen format becomes more popular. Check the game’s Web site for updates. You can also consult the following Web site for specific settings and options to configure older games to support widescreen: www.widescreengamingforum.com. Some adjustments may require you to make changes to the Windows System Registry. We recommend making a complete system backup before changing the System Registry. When you display video from a component video source, the video looks overly compressed. • See your video device’s user manual to adjust the video or TV format output to 16:9. Setting this option to 4:3 results in compressed video. This is done differently on all brands of video devices, so it is important that you read your video device’s user guide or the help tools within your video device’s software. You see black bars on left and right of the video. • Touch Menu, Video Adjust, then touch Video Scaling. To fill more of the screen, choose Wide, Zoom, 1:1 (normal), or Panoramic modes. When you try to use Picture in Picture (PIP) component video at 480p, 720p, or 1080i, either no video is displayed or you see corrupted video. • This is a normal operation of your monitor. If you want to view component video in PIP, adjust the video output of your external device to 480i. 14 www.gateway.com You need to know whether you can connect the HDMI output of your external video device to the DVI port of your monitor. Important Although the HDMI interface supports audio, no audio is sent to your monitor. You must separately connect the audio output of your video device to an external audio amplifier. • Yes, you can. When using the digital connection, your video content remains completely digital from your external video device (such as a cable box, HD DVR, or DVD player). This results in a superior digital image. Also, in this configuration the PIP can support the input of all HD resolutions. Gaming You need to know whether you can connect your game console to this monitor. • Yes, you can, if your game console supports HDMI or component video. Using optional video cables, you can connect your game console directly to your monitor. If your game console supports Component (YPbPr), this results in the best picture quality. Speaker bar does not work I installed the speaker bar, but no sound is coming out of the speakers. • Make sure that the speaker bar power cord is plugged into the speaker bar power connector under your monitor. • Check the position of the audio input selection switch on the left side of the speaker bar. • If you are using HDMI as the audio and video source, make sure that the HDMI audio cable is connected to the HDMI audio output on your monitor. Also make sure that your HDMI audio source is set to PCM or Analog audio. I checked all the connections, but I still do not get any sound. • Your headphone/speaker jack may have been muted using Windows sound controls. To check your headphone/speaker mute settings, click the speaker icon in the Windows taskbar, or click Start, Control Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices, the Volume tab, then click Advanced. For optimum volume control using the speaker bar, we recommend that you set the Windows volume mid-way between the lowest and highest setting. I want to plug in my headphones, but there is a headphone jack on both sides of the speaker bar. Which should I use? • You can use either jack or both jacks at the same time. The sound coming from the speakers sounds distorted. • Turn down the volume until the distortion disappears. • Check the audio output volume of the sound device the speaker bar is connected to. If the audio device’s output volume is set too high, the speaker bar’s sound may always be distorted. To adjust the audio device’s output volume, see the device’s user guide. To adjust the volume in Windows XP, click the speaker icon in the Windows taskbar, or click Start, Control Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices, the Volume tab, then click Advanced.

High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a specification developed by the Intel® Corporation to protect digital entertainment content that uses a digital visual interface (DVI). HDCP encrypts the transmission of digital content (signal) between the video source (computer, DVD player, or set-top box) and the digital display (monitor, digital television/DTV, or projector). HDCP is not designed to prevent copying or recording of digital content, but only to protect the integrity of the content as transmitted. You see “noise” or “trash” on the screen. • When your display’s digital capabilities exceed a digital broadcast signal, the signal is increased (up-converted) to match the display capabilities. Up-converting can cause “noise” or “trash.” The signal on DVI-D is HDCP encoded. Stop and restart the source to allow renegotiation. How HDCP works. • Implementation of HDCP requires a license obtainable from the Digital Content Protection, LLC, which then issues a set of unique secret device keys to all authorized devices. During authentication, the receiving device only accepts content after it acknowledges the keys. To further prevent stealing of the data or line tapping, the transmitter and receiver generate a shared secret value that is constantly checked throughout the transmission. After authentication is established, the transmitter encrypts the data and sends it to the receiver for decryption. You lose the signal to the display while watching a movie on a HDCP-equipped component. • The component must be restarted to establish renegotiation. For example, while watching a movie on a HDCP-enabled DVD player, you change the receiving device (DTV, monitor, or projector) input to watch broadcast TV, then change the input back to watch the DVD movie. However, you are unable to watch the movie. This is because when the input was changed, the receiver lost the HDCP signal. Restart the HDCP-enabled DVD player to allow renegotiation. A movie starts, but then slowly fades to static. • The receiving device is not HDCP compatible or it is not negotiating correctly. Restart the video source and re-plug all video cables from the source to the TV. How to determine whether a component is HDCP compliant. • If the video source device does not have a DVI or HDMI connection, it is not HDCP compliant. DCDi by Faroudja What is DCDi by Faroudja? DCDi® by Faroudja is a video mode algorithm that stands for Directional Correlation De-Interlacing. It was initially designed for fast-action video-based material. Its general purpose is to reduce jagged edges along diagonal lines caused by interpolation. Utilizing this algorithm, DCDi does not simply weave together two fields of video that match. DCDi creates new information through interpolation which “smooths” the diagonal edges. DCDi constantly monitors edge transitions and fills in any of the gaps that need smoothing. 16 www.gateway.com You have your monitor connected to your notebook’s VGA port, but you see no image on the screen.
