4.1 PIP/PBP
The PIP (Picture in Picture) function separates the screen into two parts. 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 @ 60 Hz) resolution when connect HDMI

FreeSync technology is solution that eliminates screen tearing without all the usual lag and latency.
FreeSync can be operated when you use AMD's graphic card with supporting FreeSync solution.
FreeSync is only supported by AMD graphics cards.
Select FreeSync Off if you are using a graphics card from a different manufacturer.
Please refer to the AMD's official website related situation.
Only a few of the following types of AMD graphics card can support FreeSync, and need to install the
AMD's latest official FreeSync driver.
Radeon R9 290X/290
Radeon R9 285
Radeon R7 260X/260
AMD A10 “Kaveri” APU (ex. A10 7850K)
For additional AMD graphics card models that support the FreeSync feature, visit the official AMD
website.
If the FreeSync function is enabled, the response rate during the game may fluctuate depending
on the resolution.
A higher resolution generally decreases the response rate.
If the FreeSync function is enabled, the screen can flicker depending on the game option settings.
Decreasing the game setting values might help to remove the flicker. Installing the latest drivers
from the AMD website may also fix this issue.

10.2 PowerSaver
The power-saving function of this product reduces power consumption by switching off the screen and
changing the color of the power LED if the product is not used for a specified period of time. The power
is not turned off in power-saving mode. To switch the screen back on, press any key on the keyboard or
move the mouse. Power-saving mode functions only when the product is connected to a PC that has a
power-saving function.

The displayed power consumption level can vary in different operating conditions or when settings
are changed.
ENERGY STAR® is a US registered mark of the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
Energy Star power is measured with the test method in the current Energy Star® Standard.
To reduce the power consumption to 0, disconnect the power cord. Be sure to disconnect the
power cable when you will not be using the product for an extended period of time. To reduce the
power consumption to 0 watts when the power switch is not available, disconnect the power
cable.

10.3 Standard Signal Mode Table
This product can be set to only one resolution for each screen size to obtain the optimum picture
quality due to the nature of the panel. Therefore, a resolution other than the specified resolution
may degrade the picture quality. To avoid this, it is recommended that you select the optimum
resolution specified for the screen size of your product.
Check the frequency when you exchange a CDT monitor (connected to a PC) for an LCD monitor.
If the LCD monitor does not support 85Hz, change the vertical frequency to 60Hz using the CDT
monitor before you exchange it with the LCD monitor.
If a signal that belongs to the following standard signal modes is transmitted from your PC, the screen will
automatically be adjusted. If the signal transmitted from the PC does not belong to the standard signal
modes, the screen may be blank even though the power LED turns on. In such a case, change the
settings according to the following table by referring to the graphics card user manual.

Terminology
OSD (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.
Gamma
The 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 scale
Scale 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 rate
Scanning 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 Frequency
Characters 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 Frequency
One 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.
116
Appendix
Appendix
Resolution
Resolution 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 & Play
The 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.
