Connecting the monitor
Because lifting your monitor off the desktop surface takes weight off
from the adjustable stand, the stand will extend suddenly, possibly
causing damage to equipment or injury to yourself.
Warning
To avoid injury, always lift the monitor so that the stand adjusts to its
full height before moving the monitor or turning it around.

Sharpness—Adjusts sharpness for video images.
Noise Reduction—Uses noise reduction filters that adapt to the amount
of noise and motion from the video source.
Video Scaling—Sets video aspect ratios and scaling between Wide,
Zoom, 1:1, and Panoramic modes.

entire screen. Widescreen (1.76:1) images
fill the entire screen without distortion,
while widescreen (1.85:1 and 2.35:1)
images appear without distortion but with black bars at the top and
bottom.
Zoom mode
crops off a portion of a
widescreen image in order to fill the entire
screen with a distortion-free and black

1:1 mode
preserves the movie’s original
aspect ratio, so a standard broadcast or
full-frame movie appears with black bars on the
left and right of the image.
Panoramic mode
uses selective
distortion to stretch a standard broadcast

unintentional flashing colors or rainbow patterns, that result from
composite video signals.
MADI—Motion-Adaptive De-Interlacing ensures a more static
(flicker-free) display image for image sections not containing moving
elements, and ensures smoother edges for moving elements.
