Color Adjust provides several color adjustment modes: preset color temperatures and RGB which allows you to adjust red (R), green (G), and blue (B) separately. The factory setting for this product is 6500K (6500 Kelvin).
9300K-Adds blue to the screen image for cooler white (used in most office settings with fluorescent lighting). 6500K-Adds red to the screen image for warmer white and richer red. 5400K-Adds green to the screen image for a darker color. 5000K-Adds blue and green to the screen image for a darker color.

See your graphic cards user guide for instructions on changing the resolution and refresh rate (vertical frequency). NOTE: VESA 1280 x 1024 @ 60Hz (recommended) means that the resolution is 1280 x 1024 and the refresh rate is 60 Hertz.
Manual Image Adjust Sub-menu
H. Size (Horizontal Size) adjusts the width of the screen image. H./V. Position (Horizontal/Vertical Position) moves the screen image left or right and up or down.

If you enable the Resolution Notice shown above and your computer is set at a resolution other than 1280 x 1024, the following screen appears.
Explanation Input Priority If multiple computers will be connected to the display, this function can be used to select which computer has priority depending on the selected Input Priority, the display will do a one time detection for available inputs when first powered on. For example: If the Input Priority setting is D-SUB=>D-SUB2=>DVI, then the first priority will be given to D-SUB1 when the display turns on. If there is no video signal on D-SUB1, then the next priority will be given to D-SUB-2, etc. In the case of only one signal being present at the three inputs, then the display will automatically detect and display that signal. The Input Priority setting can also be disabled. In this case, the input will return to the last setting when the display is first turned on. The user will need to control all the port settings manually under this condition. Inputs can be switched quickly by pressing the Up arrow button on the front panel controls. OSD Position allows you to move the on-screen display menus and control screens. OSD Timeout sets the length of time the on-screen display screen is displayed. For example, with a 30 second setting, if a control is not pushed within 30 seconds, the display screen disappears. OSD Background On/Off allows you to turn the On-Screen Display background On or Off. OSD Pivot This function is used to rotate the OSD menu, when the display is changed from Landscape to Portrait mode. Memory Recall returns the adjustments back to factory settings if the display is operating in a factory Preset Timing Mode listed in the Specifications of this manual.

If the other end of the video cable is not attached permanently to the LCD display, tightly secure it to the LCD display. Adjust brightness and contrast. If you are using an Macintosh older than G3, you need a Macintosh adapter. Wrong or abnormal colors If any colors (red, green, or blue) are missing, check the video cable to make sure it is securely connected. Loose or broken pins in the cable connector could cause an improper connection. Connect the LCD display to another computer. If you have an older graphics card, contact ViewSonic for a non-DDC adapter. Control buttons do not work Press only one button at a time.
