Connecting USB cables
Your monitor has a built-in, four-port USB 2.0 hub that lets you conveniently connect USB devices.
Because your computer case may be under your desk or inside a cabinet, these monitor-mounted
USB ports can be much easier to access. To use the monitor’s USB ports, you must first connect
the monitor to a USB port on your computer. Because the USB hub uses power from the monitor,
it does not require its own power connection.
To connect USB cables:
1Connect the included USB cable to the USB in (“B” type) port on the back of your monitor,
then connect the other end of the cable to a USB 2.0 port on your computer.
2Connect any USB device to one of the available USB 2.0 ports on the left side or back of
the monitor.
Important
The built-in USB 2.0 hub provides only low-speed connections if its USB in
port is connected to a USB 1.1 port on your computer or on a USB hub.
Tip
Use the USB 2.0 ports on the back of the monitor for connecting USB devices
you want to keep connected most of the time, such as a keyboard, a mouse, or
a printer. Use the USB 2.0 ports on the side of the monitor for connecting USB
devices that are frequently disconnected, such as cameras, flash drives, and USB
hard drives.

Connecting power
To connect power:
1Position your monitor so you can reach the back, then connect the power cord to the power
connector under the back of the monitor.
2Plug the power cord into a correctly grounded power outlet. We recommend using a surge
protector to protect your monitor from voltage spikes.
3To make sure that the monitor’s power is correctly connected, check the power button
on the front button panel. The power icon on the power button should be glowing purple.
If the power icon is not visible, power is not connected.
Connecting a security cable
You can secure your monitor to your computer desk (or to another heavy object) with a cable
lock. To connect a cable lock, follow the cable lock’s instructions to connect it to the Kensington
lock slot on the back of your monitor (cable lock not included).

Setting up the optional stand
Attaching the USB stand
In the United States, you can buy an adjustable USB stand from www.gateway.com. The stand
can be adjusted for height, tilt, and screen rotation. With EzTune software installed on your
computer, a sensor inside your monitor detects the rotation mode (portrait or landscape) your
monitor is in, and rotates the screen image accordingly.
When the stand is connected to your computer’s USB port, you can connect up to four USB devices
to the USB 2.0 ports on the stand. Including the ports on your monitor, you could have a total
of eight easy-to-access USB ports on your monitor and stand together.
To attach the adjustable stand:
1Make sure that the monitor is turned off.
2Place the monitor face-up on a stable surface. A non-slip mat on a tabletop is ideal. Let
the monitor base hang down over the edge of the table.
3Remove the two screws from the neck hinge, then remove the neck from the LCD panel.
Do not discard the screws.
4Place the hinge cover over the hinge, then attach the hinge cover using the screws you
removed from the original neck hinge. The hinge cover came with your monitor.
5Remove the four small screws from the back of the LCD panel. Do not discard the four
screws.

Adjusting monitor height tension
The stand is factory adjusted to maintain the height for your monitor. However, if it does not
stay in place when you let go, you need to change the stand’s height tension. You also need to
adjust the stand if the amounts of force required to raise and lower the monitor are not equal.
To adjust your monitor’s height tension:
1Press the screwdriver access hole cap from below the base to remove it from the base.
2Insert a Phillips screwdriver through the access hole in the base and onto the height tension
screw (on the back of the stand, in the slot above the USB In port).
3Adjust the height tension screw so the monitor stays in place when you let go. If the monitor
lowers by itself when you let go, turn the screw clockwise several complete turns. If the
monitor rises when you let go, turn the screw counter-clockwise several complete turns.
You may need to turn the screw several times before the tension is correct for your size
of monitor.
4Adjust the height tension screw so the raising and lowering forces are equal. After the
forces are equalized, turn the tension screw clockwise two to four turns to slightly decrease
the lifting tension.
5For optimum viewing, adjust the height so the top of the monitor is about 1 inch (2.5 cm)
below eye level.

Adjusting monitor tilt tension
To adjust your monitor’s tilt tension:
•Adjust the tilt tension screw (on the top of the stand) so the monitor stays in place when
you let go. If the monitor changes its tilt angle when you let go, turn the screw clockwise
one complete turn to increase the tension.
Ergonomic guidelines
The recommended screen positioning is based upon the following guildelines. These guidelines
are based on available scientific literature and published standards.
Screen height
The recommended screen height for displays (except in special circumstances, such as for bifocal
use) is that the top of the display should be set at or slightly below (about 1 inch or 25 mm)
your eye level while you are sitting in a comfortable working posture. This guideline places the
center of the screen at an ideal 15° to 20° viewing angle for most desktop displays. If the display
has multiple users, the screen height should be easily adjustable to accommodate each user’s
height and preference.
Screen tilt
The screen should be tilted so your line of sight is perpendicular to the screen. This angle creates
the most consistent viewing distance when scanning from the top of the screen to the bottom.
You may need to adjust lighting to avoid screen glare when the screen is tilted upward.
Screen distance from user
The screen should first be placed at arm’s length from the user, then adjusted back and forth
to suit individual preference.

Connecting the USB hub
The optional USB stand has a built-in, 4-port, USB 2.0 hub. To use these USB connectors, you
need to connect the hub to power and to your computer.
To connect your USB stand’s built-in USB hub:
1Plug the included USB cable into the USB In port on the back of your USB stand and into
a USB 2.0 port on your computer. If you connect the stand to a USB 1.1 port on your
computer, the stand’s USB hub operates in USB 1.1 mode.
2To provide full power to your stand’s USB ports, connect the AC power adapter to the power
connector on the back of your USB stand and into an AC power outlet.

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 the 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.
Noise Reduction—Uses noise reduction filters that adapt to the amount
of noise and motion from the video source.

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.
* 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, press the Input button on the side of the monitor.
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, then 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 the monitor.
■Change the resolution of the Windows desktop to match the monitor’s full resolution of 1680 × 1050. For more information see “Changing color depth and screen resolution” on page 20.

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 the monitor.
To change the color depth or screen resolution:
1Click (Start), Control Panel, then under Appearance and Personalization, click Adjust
Screen Resolution. The Display Settings dialog box opens.
2To change the color depth, click the Colors list, then click the color depth you want.
•Low (8-bit) = 256 colors
•Medium (16-bit) = 65,500 colors
•Highest (32-bit) = 16,700,000 colors
3To change the screen resolution, drag the Resolution slider to the size you prefer.
4Click Apply. If the new settings do not look right, click No. If the new settings make the
screen illegible and you cannot click No, the settings return to their previous values after
several seconds.
5Click OK, then click Yes to save your changes.
Help

EzTune software
When installed onto your computer, EzTune™ software lets you control many of the monitor
settings from your computer. With EzTune, you can:
•Change the orientation of the image (landscape to portrait) by just rotating the screen
(requires the optional height-adjustable stand available in the U.S. at www.gateway.com)
•Change brightness, contrast, and color balance
•Change screen geometry
•Set the display position and resolution
For more information, see the program’s CD or the installed program’s online help.
Using landscape and portrait modes (requires optional height-adjustable stand)
EzTune automatically switches the display to the appropriate mode (landscape or portrait) when
you rotate the screen. This feature works only with VGA or DVI input (the OSD itself does not
rotate into portrait mode).
While using portrait mode:
•Full-screen video may display incorrectly or be slow.
•Video games or other full-screen applications may not be fully compatible.
•Some programs are not able to recognize and adapt to your monitor’s portrait mode. If
you experience problems with a program while using portrait mode, switch to landscape
mode and restart the program.

FAQs
This section contains answers to frequently asked questions.
General
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.
I have the monitor connected to my notebook’s VGA port and I see no image on the screen.
You have two options:
•If your notebook supports dual displays, you can use both your notebook’s display
and this monitor in extended desktop multi-monitor mode. See Windows Help to learn
how to enable multiple monitors.
•You can also use this monitor as your primary monitor and not use the notebook’s
screen. Notebook computers typically have an FN key combination that lets you toggle
between your notebook’s display and an externally attached display. On Gateway
notebooks, this key combination is FN+F4. The F4 key is located along the top row of
keys. See your notebook user guide for more information.
How To
Setup
Why does the image looks stretched or fuzzy when I connect the monitor to my computer?
You must adjust the operating system’s display settings to match the monitor’s optimal (native)
1680 × 1050 setting. For information on adjusting settings in Windows XP, see “Changing color
depth and screen resolution” on page 20.
8512088.book Page 26 Friday, January 12, 2007 3:31 PM
www.gateway.com
27
I 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 (support.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®: http://www.ati.com
Intel®: http://www.intel.com
Nvidia®: http://www.nvidia.com
When I connect the monitor’s USB hub to my computer, I see an error message saying that
my USB hub may not be running at full speed.
This can happen if you connected the monitor’s high-speed USB 2.0 hub to a low-speed USB 1.1
hub or a USB 1.1 port on your computer. To use the monitor’s high-speed USB 2.0 capabilities,
you must connect the monitor to a USB 2.0 port on your computer.
When I run my games, I do not see support for widescreen displays. What can I do?
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:
http://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.
Technical
Why do I 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.
What is HDCP and how do I troubleshoot it?
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.
How does HDCP work?
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.
What happens if I lose 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.
What is the cause if a movie starts and 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.

CHAPTER 1: Using Your Gateway Flat-Panel Monitor
28
How do I know if a component is HDCP compliant?
If the video source device does not have a DVI or HDMI connection, it is not HDCP compliant.
Video/Display
When I display video from S-Video, composite, or component, why does the video look overly
compressed?
See your video device 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 user guide or the help tools within your video
device’s software.
I see black bars on left and right of the video. Can I stretch the video to fit more of the screen?
Press the Menu button on the side of the display, select Video Adjust, then select Video Scaling.
To fill more of the screen, choose Wide, Zoom, or Panoramic modes.
Why when I try to use Picture in Picture (PIP) component video at 480p, 720p, or 1080i, either
no video is displayed or I see corrupted video?
This is a normal operation of the monitor. If you want to view component video in PIP, adjust
the video output of your external device to 480i.
Can I connect my game console to this monitor?
Yes. Using optional video cables (available from the Gateway Accessory Store Web site) you can
connect your game console directly to the monitor. If your game console supports Component
(YPbPr), this results in the best picture quality.
Can I connect the HDMI output of my external video device to the DVI port of the monitor?
Why would I want to do this?
Yes, you can buy an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable from the Gateway Accessory Store. 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.
Important
Although the HDMI interface supports audio, no audio is sent to the monitor. You
must separately connect the audio output of your video device to an external audio
amplifier.

Environmental information
Recycling
The product you have purchased contains extracted natural resources that have been used in the manufacturing process. This
product may contain substances known to be hazardous to the environment or to human health.
To prevent releases of harmful substances into the environment and to maximize the use of our natural resources, Gateway
provides the following information on how you can responsibly recycle or reuse most of the materials in your “end of life” product.
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (commonly known as WEEE) should never be disposed of in the municipal waste
stream (residential garbage collection). The “Crossed-Out Waste Bin” label affixed to this product is your reminder to
dispose of your “end of life” product properly.
Substances such as glass, plastics, and certain chemical compounds are highly recoverable, recyclable, and reusable. You
can do your part for the environment by following these simple steps:
■When your electrical or electronic equipment is no longer useful to you, “take it back” to your local or regional waste collection
administration for recycling.
■In some cases, your “end of life” product may be “traded in” for credit towards the purchase of new Gateway equipment. Call
Gateway to see if this program is available in your area.
■If you need further assistance in recycling, reusing, or trading in your “end of life” product, you may contact us at the Customer
Care number listed in your product’s user guide and we will be glad to help you with your effort.
Finally, we suggest that you practice other environmentally friendly actions by understanding and using the energy-saving features
of this product (where applicable), recycling the inner and outer packaging (including shipping containers) this product was
delivered in, and by disposing of or recycling used batteries properly.
With your help, we can reduce the amount of natural resources needed to produce electrical and electronic equipment, minimize the
use of landfills for the disposal of “end of life” products, and generally improve our quality of life by ensuring that potentially
hazardous substances are not released into the environment and are disposed of properly.
