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.

These settings apply only to SD (standard definition) video at 480i and

Video Adjust menu  
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.  
Wide mode  
stretches a standard  
broadcast or full-frame image to fill the  
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  
bar-free image.  
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  
or full-frame image to fill the entire screen.  
Unlike Wide mode, Panoramic mode  
stretches only the left and right sides of the  
image, and leaves the center of the image distortion free.

Mode Detection detects frame rates of the source image and adapts the  
frame rate of the display for ultimate image quality. Bad Edit Detection  
and Correction corrects for incorrectly synchronized video.  
Auto Video Enhance—Enables DCDi, Cross Color Reduction, and MADI  
for optimized video performance.  
DCDi by Faroudja—Directional Correlation De-interlacing reduces  
jagged edge artifacts on diagonal lines.  
Cross Color Reduction—Reduces cross-color artifacts, such as  
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.
