6-6. Glossary

Clock

The analog input monitor needs to reproduce a clock of the same frequency as the dot clock of the graphics system in use, when the analog input signal is converted to a digital signal for image display. This is called clock adjustment. If the clock pulse is not set correctly, some vertical bars appear on the screen.

DisplayPort

VESA provides the digital interface standard for the digital display device. DisplayPort can transfer the video signal up to 16 bits for each channel of RGB, and the audio signal too. (This monitor supports the 8-bit video signal only.)

DVI (Digital Visual Interface)

DVI is a digital interface standard. DVI allows direct transmission of the PC's digital data without loss. This adopts the TMDS transmission system and DVI connectors. There are two types of DVI connectors. One is a DVI-D connector for digital signal input only. The other is a DVI-I connector for both digital and analog signal inputs.

DVI DMPM (DVI Digital Monitor Power Management)

DVI DMPM is a digital interface power-saving function. The “Monitor ON (operating mode)” and “Active Off (power-saving mode)” are indispensable for DVI DMPM as the monitor’s power mode.

Gain

This is used to adjust each color parameter for red, green and blue. An LCD monitor displays the color by the light passing through the panel color filter. Red, green and blue are the three primary colors. All the colors on the screen are displayed by combining these three colors. The color tone can be changed by adjusting the light intensity (volume) passing through each color's filter.

Gamma

Generally, the monitor brightness varies nonlinearly with the input signal level, which is called “Gamma Characteristic”. A small gamma value produces a low-contrast image, while a large gamma value produces a highcontrast image.

HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection)

Digital signal coding system developed to copy-protect the digital contents, such as video, music, etc. This helps to transmit the digital contents safely by coding the digital contents sent via DVI terminal on the output side and decoding them on the input side. Any digital contents cannot be reproduced if both of the equipments on the output and input sides are not applicable to HDCP system.

Phase

Phase means the sampling timing to convert the analog input signal to a digital signal. Phase adjustment is made to adjust the timing. It is recommended that phase adjustment be made after the clock is adjusted correctly.

Range Adjustment

Range adjustment controls the signal output levels to display every color gradation. It is recommended that range adjustment be made before color adjustment.

Resolution

The LCD panel consists of numerous pixels of specified size, which are illuminated to form images. This monitor consists of 1680(CG223W) / 1920(CG243W) horizontal pixels and 1050(CG223W) / 1200(CG243W) vertical pixels. At a resolution of 1680 x 1050(CG223W) / 1920 x 1200(CG243W), all pixels are illuminated as a full screen (1:1).

sRGB (Standard RGB)

"International Standard for Red, Green, and Blue color space" A color space was defined with the aim of the color matching between applications and hardware devices, such as monitors, scanners, printers and digital cameras. As a standard default space, sRGB allows Internet users to closely match colors.

Temperature

Color temperature is a method to measure the white color tone, generally indicated in degrees Kelvin. The screen becomes reddish at a low temperature, and bluish at a high temperature, like the flame temperature.

5000K: Slightly reddish white (usually used in print industry)

6500K: White called daylight color (suited for web browsing)

9300K: Slightly bluish white (usually used for television)

TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signaling)

A signal transmission system for digital interface.

VESA DPMS (Video Electronics Standards Association - Display Power Management Signaling)

VESA provides the standardization of signals from PC (graphics board) for power saving of PC monitors. DPMS defines the signal status between PC and monitor.

6-7. Preset Timing

The following table shows factory preset video timing (for analog signal only).

Attention

• Display position may be deviated depending on the PC connected, which may require screen adjustment using Adjustment menu.
• If a signal other than those listed in the table is input, adjust the screen using the Adjustment menu. However, screen display may still be incorrect even after the adjustment.
• When interlace signals are used, the screen cannot be displayed correctly even after screen adjustment using the Adjustment menu.
