Selecting the Graphic Picture
Enhancement (GPE) Mode
The Graphic Picture Enhancement (GPE) button allows you
to automatically change the characteristics of the picture on
the screen to match the use of your monitor. Simply press
the GPE button to scroll between the three modes.
1
Turn on the monitor and computer.
2
Press the GPE button to set the mode.
Each time you press the GPE button, the mode appears on
the screen and changes as follows.
STANDARD MODE
PRESENTATION MODE
GRAPHICS/VIDEO MODE
The STANDARD MODE is ideal for spreadsheets, word
processing, and other text oriented applications.
The PRESENTATION MODE is useful for presentation
programs that require vivid colors.
The GRAPHICS/VIDEO MODE gives movies and games
enhanced visual appeal by increasing the sharpness and
brightness.
The selected mode indication appears on the screen for
about 3 seconds.
If the screen appears too white, adjust the color temperature
as explained in “Using the COLOR On-screen Display” on
page 11.
Note
The PRESENTATION MODE and GRAPHICS/VIDEO MODE may
produce ghost images when displaying text oriented applications.
These modes change the brightness of the picture dynamically
according to changes in moving pictures. If ghost images appear,
set the GPE to STANDARD MODE.

Damper Wires
When viewing a white background, very thin horizontal
lines are visible on the screen as shown below. These lines
are damper wires.
The Trinitron tube has a vertically striped aperture grille
inside. The aperture grille allows more light to pass through
to the screen giving the Trinitron CRT more color and
brightness.
These damper wires are attached to the aperture grille to
prevent vibration of the aperture grille and keep the screen
image constantly stable.

Power Saving Function
This monitor has three modes of reduced power
consumption. By sensing the absence of video signal
coming from the computer, it reduces power consumption
as follows.
Note
If the video signal cable is not connected properly, the “NO INPUT
SIGNAL” message (page 18) appears. After 30 seconds, the power
saving function automatically puts the monitor into the active-off
mode and the
u
indicator lights up orange. Once the horizontal
and vertical sync signals are detected, the monitor automatically
resumes its normal operation mode.
