Moire is a type of natural interference which produces soft, wavy lines 
on your screen. It may appear due to interference between the pattern 
of the picture on the screen and the phosphor pitch pattern of the 
monitor.

** The LANDING and RESET functions are for CPD-G520 only.

 

The picture may become fuzzy when the CANCEL MOIRE function is 
activated.

 

The COLOR settings allow you to adjust the picture’s color 
temperature by changing the color level of the white color field. 
Colors appear reddish if the temperature is low, and bluish if the 
temperature is high. This adjustment is useful for matching the 
monitor’s color to a printed picture’s colors.
You can set the color temperature for each of the video input 
connectors.

The sRGB color setting is an industry standard color space 
protocol designed to correlate the displayed and printed colors of 
sRGB compliant computer products. To adjust the colors to the 
sRGB profile, simply select the sRGB mode in the COLOR 

MODE (

) menu of the OPTION (

) menu. 

However, in order to display the sRGB colors correctly (

 

γ

 

 = 2.2, 

6500K), you must set the PICTURE EFFECT mode to 
PROFESSIONAL (page 11) and your computer to the sRGB 
profile. If you select this mode, you cannot operate the 
CONTRAST/BRIGHT menu adjustments.

 

Your computer and other connected products (such as a printer), must be 
sRGB compliant.

The colors of most display monitors tend to gradually change 
brilliance over several years of service. The IMAGE 
RESTORATION feature found in the EASY, PRESET, and 
sRGB menus allows you to restore the color to the original factory 
quality levels. The explanation below explains how to restore the 
monitor’s color from the EASY mode for example.

First, select the EASY, PRESET, or sRGB mode in the OPTION 
menu (page 15).

 

The menu appears on the screen.

 

The COLOR menu appears on the screen.

 

The picture disappears while the color is being restored (about 
2 seconds). After the color is restored, the picture reappears 
on the screen again.

 

• Before using this feature, the monitor must be in normal operation 

mode (green power indicator on) for at least 30 minutes. If the monitor 
goes into power saving mode, you must return the monitor to normal 
operation mode and wait for 30 minutes for the monitor to be ready. 
You may need to adjust your computer’s power saving settings to keep 
the monitor in normal operation mode for the full 30 minutes. If the 
monitor is not ready, the following message will appear.

• The monitor may gradually lose its ability to perform this function due 

to the natural aging of the picture tube.

 

You can lock the controls, change the on-screen language, change 
the menu position, and set the COLOR mode.

 

The menu appears on the screen.

 

The OPTION menu appears on the screen.

 

Adjust the selected item according to the following 
instructions.

 

x

 

Only the 

 

!

 

 (power) switch, MENU button, INPUT switch, and 

 (CONTROL LOCK) of the 

 OPTION menu will operate. 

If any other items are selected, the 

 mark appears on the 

screen.
