One source device is displayed on the main screen at the same time the another source device is displayed in inset windows. The PBP (Picture by Picture) function separates the screen in half displaying output from two different source devices simultaneously on the left and right sides of the screen. Compatible with Windows7 and Windows8.The PIP/PBP function may not be available depending on the specifications of the graphics card used. If the screen is blank in PIP/PBP mode when the optimum resolution is selected, go to Control Panel Display Screen Resolution and click Detect on the PC. (Instructions are based on Windows 7.) If the screen is blank when the resolution is set to the optimum resolution, change the resolution to 1280 x 1024.The screen may flicker briefly or appear after a delay when you enable or disable the PIP/PBP function or when you change the screen size with the PIP/PBP function activated.This can typically arise when a PC and a monitor are connected to two or more input sources. It has nothing to do with the performance of a monitor.The issue is mainly caused when the video signals are delayed in transmission to the monitor depending on the graphics card performance.To maximize the picture quality and Sound can be normal output it is recommended to use a graphics card or DVD that supports 4K (3840 x 2160 at 30HZ) resolution when connect HDMI 1 port.To maximize the picture quality and Sound can be normal output it is recommended to use a graphics card or DVD that supports 4K (3840 x 2160 at 60HZ) resolution when connect HDMI 2 port.When the PIP/PBP function is enabled, the resolution will not be able to automatically switch to the optimum resolution due to a compatibility issue between the graphics card and the Windows system. Set PIP/PBP Mode to Off or manually change the resolution to the optimum resolution using the Windows interface. → →

104Appendix AppendixTerminologyOSD (On Screen Display)On screen display (OSD) allows you to customize on-screen settings to optimize the picture quality as required. You can change the screen brightness, tint, size and many other settings using menus displayed on the screen.GammaThe Gamma menu adjusts the grey scale that represents middle tones on the screen. Adjusting the brightness brightens the whole screen, but adjusting Gamma only brightens the medium brightness.Grey scaleScale refers to levels of color intensity that show variations of color change from darker areas to brighter areas on the screen. Changes to the screen brightness are expressed with black and white variation, and grey scale refers to the medium area between black and white. Changing the grey scale through Gamma adjustment will change the medium brightness on the screen.Scanning rateScanning rate, or refresh rate, refers to the frequency of screen refreshes. Screen data is transmitted as it refreshes to display an image, although the refreshing is invisible to the naked eye. The number of screen refreshes is called scanning rate and is measured in Hz. A scanning rate of 60Hz means that the screen refreshes 60 times per second. The screen scanning rate depends on the performance of the graphics cards in your PC and monitor. Horizontal FrequencyCharacters or images displayed on the monitor screen consist of numerous dots (pixels). Pixels are transmitted in horizontal lines, which are then arranged vertically to create an image. The horizontal frequency is measured in kHz and represents how many times horizontal lines per second are transmitted and displayed on the monitor screen. A horizontal frequency of 85 means that the horizontal lines that make up an image are transmitted 85000 times per second. The horizontal frequency is indicated in 85kHz.Vertical FrequencyOne image is made of numerous horizontal lines. The vertical frequency is measured in Hz and represents how many images can be created per second by those horizontal lines. A vertical frequency of 60 means that an image is transmitted 60 times per second. The vertical frequency is also called "refresh rate" and affects screen flicker.
105Appendix AppendixResolutionResolution is the number of horizontal pixels and vertical pixels that form a screen. It represents the level of display detail. A higher resolution displays a greater amount of information on the screen and is suitable for performing multiple tasks at the same time.E.g. A resolution of 1920 x 1080 consists of 1920 horizontal pixels (horizontal resolution) and 1080 vertical lines (vertical resolution).E.g. A resolution of 1920 x 1200 consists of 1920 horizontal pixels (horizontal resolution) and 1200 vertical lines (vertical resolution).Plug & PlayThe Plug & Play feature allows the automatic exchange of information between a monitor and PC to produce an optimum display environment. The monitor uses VESA DDC (international standard) to execute Plug & Play.
