B. Choosing the best resolution
Due to the technology of an LC display, it always provides a fixed resolution. For the FP767 this is a
resolution of 1280x1024. This is called the "Native Resolution", which also represents the maximal
resolution. Lower resolutions are displayed on a full screen through an interpolation circuit. Flaws
do occur with the interpolated resolution compared to the native resolution. If you want to have all
the advantages of LCD technology you must use the native resolution. Using Windows 95/ 98/
2000/ XP you can change the resolution as follows:
1. Double-click the "Display" icon in the Control Panel.
2. From the "Display Properties" window, select the "Settings" tab. You can alter the resolu-
tion by using the slider on the right-hand side.
3. Select a resolution of 1024x768. Then click "Apply."
English 32
BenQ LCD Color Monitor User's Guide
4. In the subsequent windows, press "OK" and "Yes."
5. You can now close "Display Properties."
English 33
BenQ LCD Color Monitor User's Guide
C. Refresh Rate Selection
There is no need to choose the highest possible refresh rate on a LC display. It is not technically
possible for an LC display to flicker. Even at a refresh rate of 60 Hz you will get an absolutely flicker-
free image. More important is that you make sure that you use one of the factory modes. In con-
trast to a modern CRT monitor, which is a multiscan monitor, the LC display is a multi-frequency
monitor. This means, the best results are only obtained by using the factory modes. You will find a
table with the factory modes in this user's guide. For the native resolution of 1280x1024, these, for
example, are 60, 70 and 75 Hertz, not 72 Hz; however, in Windows 95/ 98/ 2000/ XP you can
change the refresh rate as follows:
1. Double click the "Display" icon in the Control Panel.
2. From the "Display Properties" window, select the "Settings" tab. Click the "Advanced..."
button in the bottom right corner.
English 34
BenQ LCD Color Monitor User's Guide
3. Select the "Adapter” tab. The refresh rate selection field is located in the center at the bot-
tom of the window.
4. Choose a refresh rate from the table with the factory modes, which can be found in the user’s
guide, and select this in the settings field.
5. In the subsequent windows press "Change", "OK" and "Yes".
6. You can now close "Display Properties".
English 35
BenQ LCD Color Monitor User's Guide
D. Picture Optimization
The easiest way to obtain an optimal display is to use the ikey function. Press the “ikey” on the con-
trol panel and the monitor will adjust automatically.
If you are still not satisfied with the result, you can still adjust the image manually.
1. Run the test program auto.exe from CD-ROM, this is the best way to observe possible
changes. You can also use any other image, such as the desktop of your operating system. But
we recommend you to use auto.exe. As you run auto.exe, a test pattern emerges.
2. Press “Enter” on control panel to access OSD.
3. If there are vertical noises observed, press “<” or “>” key to select “FINE TUNE” and press
“Enter” key. Then press ”<” or “>” key to select “CLOCK” and also press “Enter” key
again. Now, press “<” or “>” to adjust the monitor till the noises disappear.
4. If there are horizontal noises observed, press “<” or “>” key to select “FINE TUNE” and
press “Enter” key. Then press ”<” or “>” key to select “PHASE” and also press “Enter” key
again. Now, press “<” or “>” to adjust the monitor till the noises disappear.
To make sure the “iKey” function performs well, you have to use one of the supported modes. If
the ikey does not work properly and the “NON PRESET MODE” message is on the OSD, it
means you do not use one of the supported modes. Please set your computer to use one of the
supported modes. You may find the list of supported modes in this manual.

Troubleshooting
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
✓ The image is blurred:
✓ Read the chapter, "Installation/Adjustment" and select the correct resolution, refresh rate
and make adjustments based on these instructions.
✓ Do you use a VGA extension cable?
Remove the extension cable for the test. Is the image now in focus? If not, optimize the
image working on the description in the chapter, "Installation/Adjustment." It is normal
for blurring to occur due to conduction losses in extension cables. You can minimize
these losses by using an extension cable with better conduction quality or with a built-
in booster.
✓ Does the blurring only occur at resolutions lower than the native (maximum) resolution?
Read the chapter "Installation/Adjustment." Select the native resolution.
✓ Pixel errors can be seen:
✓ One of several pixels are permanently black, one or more pixels are permanently white,
one or more pixels are permanently red, green, blue or another colour.
Read the chapter "Pixel Error Rates."
✓ The image has a faulty colour appearance:
✓ It has a yellow, blue or pink appearance.
On the monitor press the “Enter” button and use the “<”or “>”keys to move to the
“information” menu. Press “Enter” to “Recall” the preset mode. If the image is still not
correct and the OSD also has a fault colour appearance, then one of the three primary
colours is missing in the signal input. Now check the VGA cable contacts. If any pins
are bent or broken off, then contact your dealer or read the chapter, Additional Help,
Repairs & Service.
✓ No image can be seen:
✓ Is the prompt on the display illuminated in green?
If the LED is illuminated in green, then press the “Exit” button on the monitor to
access the On Screen Display. If the message “Not supported Mode” appears, read the
chapter "Installation/Adjustment."
✓ Is the prompt on the display illuminated in orange?
If the LED is illuminated in orange, then the power management mode is active. Press
a button on the computer keyboard or move the mouse. If that does not help, then
check the VGA cable contacts. If any pins are bent or broken off, then contact your
dealer or read the chapter, Additional Help, Repairs & Service.
English 43
BenQ LCD Color Monitor User's Guide
✓ Is the prompt on the display not illuminated at all?
Check the power supply mains socket, the external power supply and the mains
switch.
✓ The image is distorted, flashes or flickers:
✓ Read the chapter, "Installation/Adjustment"and then select the correct resolution, refresh
rate and make adjustments based on these instructions.
✓ The image is displaced in one direction:
✓ Read the chapter, "Installation/Adjustment" and then select the correct resolution, refresh
rate and make adjustments based on these instructions.

hModes, which are not listed in the above table, may not be supported. For an optimal picture
it is recommended to choose a mode listed in the table.
hThere are 22 available modes that are compatible with Windows.
hImage disruption may occur as a result of signal frequency differences from VGA cards which
do not correspond with the usual standard. This is not, however, an error. You may improve
this situation by altering an automatic setting or by manually changing the phase setting and
the pixel frequency from the "Geometry" menu.
hIf you switch off the monitor, interference lines can occur on your screen. But do not be con-
cerned about this, as it is normal.
hTo extend the service life of the product, we recommend you use your computer's power
management function.
