■

The following 8 screen sizes can be selected.

Special processing is performed for underscan, so switching takes more time than other screen sizes.
This is not a malfunction.
“Underscan” employs special processing, so only some picture related adjustments can be used.

» When set to “Enlarge” (i.e. with a “2 

× 2” or “3 × 3” setting), the screen size is fixed in “Full” mode.

» When using the screen size selection function of this monitor, the appearance of the original video may change if

you select a screen size with a different aspect ratio than the original image (i.e. TV broadcast or video input from

an external device). Please consider this point when selecting the screen size.

» Using this monitor’s screen size switching function to compress or expand the screen for commercial or public

viewing in establishments like cafes or hotels may infringe on the rights of creators, as protected by Copyright

Law, so please be careful.

» When ordinary non-wide image (4:3) is viewed with the whole screen using the screen size switching function of

this monitor, the edge of the image may be lost or appear distorted. If you wish to respect the creator’s intensions,

set the screen size to “Normal”.

» When playing commercial software, parts of the image (like subtitles) image may be cropped. In this case select

the optimal screen size using “Wide Mode” and adjust the vertical position (see “Position” on page 53). With
some software, there may be noise or distortion at the edges or top of the screen. This is due to the

characteristics of the software, and is not a malfunction.

» Depending on the original image size (i.e. CinemaScope size), black bands may remain at the top and bottom of

the screen.

When operating from Menu screen:

1Press MENU and the MENU screen displays.
2Press \/| to select “Option”.
3Press '/" to select “Wide Mode”, and then press ENTER.
4Press '/"/\/| to select desired screen size.
