Overview

What is Ma

icTune™?

Monitor performance can vary due to the graphics card, host computer lighting conditions and

other environmental factors. In order to get the best image on a monitor requires you to adjust it

for your unique setting. Unfortunately, the manual controls available to tune the image often

prove to be challenging. Proper adjustment (tuning) requires an easy to use program that goes

through a step-by-step process to obtain the best overall picture quality.

In most cases even simple adjustments to Brightness, or Contrast require navigation of the multi-

level, on-screen display (OSD) menus that are not easy to understand. Furthermore, there is no

feedback to assist in correctly setting the controls of the monitor. MagicTune™ is a software

utility that guides you through the tuning process with easy to understand instructions and back

ground patterns designed for each monitor control. The display settings for each user can be

saved, providing an easy way to select display characteristics in a multi-user environme or having

a single user have multiple defined presets based on content and ambient lighting.

Basic Functionalit

MagicTune™ is a software utility that allows monitor adjustment and color tuning using the

Display Data Channel Command Interface (DDC/CI) protocol. All adjustments to the display are

controlled via software to eliminate the need to use the monitor on-screen display (OSD).

MagicTune™ supports Windows™ 98 SE, Me, 2000, XP Home, and XP Professional.

It is recommended using MagicTune™ in Windows™ 2000 or later.

MagicTune™ allows for quick accurate tuning of the display with the ability to easily save and use

monitor configurations that are best suited for you.

OSD Mode

The OSD mode allows easy adjustment of monitor settings without taking pre-defined steps. You

can access the desired menu item to set with ease.

Troubleshooting

Before You Call Technical Su

ort

zMagicRotation Software works with the installed "Display Driver" supplied by your Graphic

Card Vendor to provide screen rotation capabilities. If the installed "Display Driver" is

working incorrectly or has bugs in it, then these bugs would still exist even after

MagicRotation Software is installed.

Any incorrect/random behaviour resulting due to problems in the installed "Display Driver"

are not due to MagicRotation Software.

In order to verify if a problem exists in the installed "Display Driver" , you can perform the

following diagonostic steps :

1. Check if the problem is occuring in both 0 orientation (Landscape mode) and 90

orientation (Portarit mode).

2. Check if the problem occurs with different color depths (8/16/32 bits per pixel) and

different resolution modes (800 x 600, 1024 x 768).

3. Check if the problem occurs without installing MagicRotation Software.

If the problem is repeating in any/all of the following scenarios then it may be the problem

with your installed "Display Driver" :

In order to correct the problem you need to perform the following steps :

1. Uninstall MagicRotation Software.

2. Obtain the latest "Display Driver" from your Graphic Card Vendor.

The latest "Display Driver" from (ATI, NVIDIA, MATROX, INTEL, etc.) are easily

available for download from their respective websites.

3. Install the latest "Display Driver"

4. Install MagicRotation Software. In most of the cases this should correct the problem.

zMagicRotation may not work in case monitor is replaced or driver of graphic card is updated

while MagicRotation is operating.

If so, please restart the system.

Terms

Dot Pitch

The image on a monitor is composed of red, green and blue dots. The closer the dots, the

higher the resolution. The distance between two dots of the same color is called the 'Dot

Pitch'. Unit: mm

Vertical Frequency

The screen must be redrawn several times per second in order to create and display an image

for the user. The frequency of this repetition per second is called Vertical Frequency or

Refresh Rate. Unit: Hz

Example : If the same light repeats itself 60 times per second, this is regarded as 60 Hz.

Horizontal Frequency

The time to scan one line connecting the right edge to the left edge of the screen horizontally

is called Horizontal Cycle. The inverse number of the Horizontal Cycle is called Horizontal

Frequency. Unit: kHz

Interlace and Non-Interlace Methods

Showing the horizontal lines of the screen from the top to the bottom in order is called the

Non-Interlace method while showing odd lines and then even lines in turn is called the

Interlace method. The Non-Interlace method is used for the majority of monitors to ensure a

clear image. The Interlace method is the same as that used in TVs.

Plug & Play

This is a function that provides the best quality screen for the user by allowing the computer

and the monitor to exchange information automatically. This monitor follows the international

standard VESA DDC for the Plug & Play function.

Resolution

The number of horizontal and vertical dots used to compose the screen image is called

'resolution'. This number shows the accuracy of the display. High resolution is good for

performing multiple tasks as more image information can be shown on the screen.

Example: If the resolution is 1280 x 1024 , this means the screen is composed of 1280

horizontal dots (horizontal resolution) and 1024 vertical lines (vertical resolution).

For Better Display

1. Adjust computer resolution and screen injection rate (refresh rate) oncomputer as described

below to enjoy the best quality of picture. You can have an uneven quality of picture in the

screen if the best quality of picture is not provided in TFT-LCD.

{Resolution: 1280 x 1024

{Vertical frequency (refresh rate): 60 Hz

2. When you clean the monitor and the panel outside, please apply the recommended small

amount of cleaner by using soft and dry cloth and polish it. Let LCD area not to be forced but

to be scrubbed out softly.

If excessive force is applied, you can have a stain on it.

3. If you are not satisfied with the quality of picture, you can get better quality of picture by

executing "auto adjustment function" in display screen that is appeared as window

termination button is pressed.

If there's still noise after automatic adjustment, use FINE/COARSE adjustment function.

4. If you view a fixed screen for an extended period of time, residual image or blurriness may

appear.

Change the mode to energy save or set a screensaver to moving picture when you need to

be away from the monitor for an extended period of time.

PRODUCT INFORMATION (Image Retention Free)

LCD Monitors and TVs may have image retention when switching from one image to another

especially after displaying a stationary image for a long time.

This guide is to demonstrate correct usage of LCD products in order to protect them from Image

retention.

Warrant

Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.

Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

What is Ima

e retention ?

During normal operation of a LCD panel, pixel image retention doesn't occur. However,

if the same image is displayed for a long time, a slight difference in electric charge

accumulates between the two electrodes which encase the liquid crystal. This may

cause the liquid crystal to build up in a certain areas of the display. Thus, the previous

image is retained when switching to a new video image. All display products, including

LCD,are subject to image retention. This is not a product defect.

Please follow the suggestions below to protect your LCD from image retention

Power Off, Screen Saver, or Power Save Mode

Ex)

zTurn the power off when using a stationary pattern.

zUse a Screen saver if possible

zSet the Monitor to power off with the PC Display Properties Power Scheme.

- Turn the power off for 4 hours after 24 hours in use

- Turn the power off for 2 hours after 12 hours in use

- Screen saver in one color or a moving image is recommended.

void using Grey colors, which can cause Image retention easily.

zAvoid: Colors with big difference in luminance (Black & White, Grey)

Ex)

zRecommended settings: Bright colors with little difference in luminance

- Change the characters color and background color every 30 minutes

Ex)

- Every 30 minutes, change the characters with movement.

it.

Image retention may not occur when a LCD panel is operated under normal conditions.

Normal conditions are defined as continuously changing video patterns. When the LCD

panel is operated for a long time with a fixed pattern (-over 12 hours-), there may be

slight difference in voltage between electrodes that work the liquid crystal (LC) in a

pixel. The voltage difference between electrodes increases with time, forcing the liquid

crystal to lean. When this occurs, the previous image may be seen when the pattern is

changed.

To prevent this, the accumulated voltage difference must be decreased.

Our LCD Monitor satisfies ISO13406-2 Pixel fault Class II
