24
CHAPTER 2: Setting Up Your Monitor
Ergonomic guidelines
The recommended screen positioning is based upon the
following guidelines. These guidelines are based on available
scientific literature and published standards.
Screen height
The recommended screen height for displays (except in special
circumstances, such as for bifocal use) is that the top of the
display should be set at or slightly below (about 1 inch or
25 mm) your eye level while you are sitting in a comfortable
working posture. This guideline places the center of the screen
at an ideal 15° to 20° viewing angle for most desktop displays.
If the display has multiple users, the screen height should be
easily adjustable to accommodate each user’s height and
preference.
Screen tilt
The screen should be tilted so your line of sight is
perpendicular to the screen. This angle creates the most
consistent viewing distance when scanning from the top of the
screen to the bottom. You may need to adjust lighting to avoid
screen glare when the screen is tilted upward.
Screen distance from user
The screen should first be placed at arm’s length from the user,
then adjusted back and forth to suit individual preference.

Changing Windows screen settings
Color depth and screen resolution are two of the most basic
monitor settings you may need to change to suit your needs.
Color depth is the number of colors your computer uses to
display images on your monitor. Most images look best
displayed with the maximum number of colors available. If the
color in your images seems “false” or “jumpy,” especially after
you have played a game or run a video-intensive program,
check the color depth setting and return it to the highest color
setting, if necessary.
38
Screen resolution is the number of pixels (individual colored
dots) your computer uses to display images on your monitor.
The higher the resolution, the more information and screen
components (such as icons and menu bars) can be displayed
on the monitor.
Important
To use the monitor’s full (highest) resolution (2560 × 1600), you must use
the included dual-link DVI cable to connect the monitor to a dual-link capable
video card on your computer.
A single-link DVI cable or video card limits resolution to 1920 × 1200.
VGA and HDMI connections are also limited to 1920 × 1200 resolution.
Tip
If the video image appears corrupt or garbled after you change resolution
settings, your video card may not be capable of supporting the selected
resolution.

The monitor has pixels that are always dark or
too bright
•
This condition is normal and inherent in the TFT
technology used in active-matrix LCD screens. Gateway’s
inspection standards keep these to a minimum. If you
feel these pixels are unacceptably numerous or dense on
your display, contact Gateway Customer Care to identify
whether a repair or replacement is justified based on the
number of pixels affected.

HDCP FAQs
What is HDCP and how do I troubleshoot it?
•
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a
specification developed by the Intel® Corporation to
protect digital entertainment content that uses a digital
visual interface (DVI), including HDMI connections.
HDCP encrypts the transmission of digital content
(signal) between the video source (computer, DVD player,
or set-top box) and the digital display (monitor, digital
television, or projector). HDCP is not designed to prevent
copying or recording of digital content, but only to
protect the integrity of the content as transmitted.
50
How does HDCP work?
•
Implementation of HDCP requires a license obtainable
from the Digital Content Protection, LLC, which then
issues a set of unique secret device keys to all authorized
devices. During authentication, the receiving device only
accepts content after it acknowledges the keys. To
further prevent stealing of the data or line tapping, the
transmitter and receiver generate a shared secret value
that is constantly checked throughout the transmission.
After authentication is established, the transmitter
encrypts the data and sends it to the receiver for
decryption.
What happens if I lose signal to the display while watching
a movie on a HDCP-equipped component?
•
The component must be restarted to establish
renegotiation.
For example, while watching a movie on a HDCP-enabled
DVD player, you change the receiving device (DTV,
monitor, or projector) input to watch broadcast TV, then
change the input back to watch the DVD movie. However,
you are unable to watch the movie. This is because when
the input was changed, the receiver lost the HDCP signal.
Restart the HDCP-enabled DVD player to allow
renegotiation.
My computer has an HD-DVD or Blu-Ray DVD player and I
receive an error message when I try to play an HD or
Blu-Ray DVD
•
2560 x 1600 (Dual-Link mode) resolution. Currently, PC
graphics cards are incapable of negotiating the HDCP
key while in Dual-Link mode. HDCP key negotiation is
required to play consumer High Definitions DVDs. To
resolve this issue, set your Windows desktop resolution
to 1920 x 1200 before playing your HD or Blu-Ray DVD.
For more information about adjusting settings in
Windows, see “Changing Windows screen settings” on
page 38.
What is the cause if a movie starts and then slowly fades
to static?
•
The receiving device is not HDCP compatible or it is not
negotiating correctly. Restart the video source and
re-plug all video cables from the source to the monitor.
How do I know if a component is HDCP compliant?
•
If the video source device does not have a DVI or HDMI
connection, it is not HDCP compliant.
51
CHAPTER 4: Troubleshooting
Video FAQs
When I display video from S-Video, composite, or
component, why does the video look overly compressed?
•
See your video device user manual to adjust the video
or TV format output to 16:9. Setting this option to 4:3
results in compressed video. This is done differently on
all brands of video devices, so it is important that you
read your video device user guide or the help tools
within your video device’s software.
•
You can also optimize the video scaling settings in the
monitor. Touch
(Menu),
(Main Menu),
(Video Adjust), then touch
(Video Scaling). To
change to the mode you want, choose Wide, Zoom, or
1:1 modes.
When I try to use Picture in Picture (PIP), why can I not select
other video inputs?
•
PIP is available only when 2560 × 1600 PC video over
dual-link DVI is selected as the primary video source.
Can I connect my game console to this monitor?
•
Yes. Using optional video cables you can connect your
game console directly to the monitor. Use Component
Video (YPbPr) or HDMI if your game console supports it,
because this results in the best picture quality.
When playing DVDs or watching video sources, I sometimes
see random black and white noise at the top of the picture.

entered, the LED flashes twice, indicating that
programming is complete.
If an invalid key or code is entered, or if ten seconds
