12 CHAPTER 1: Usig Your Gateway Flat-Pael Moitor Adjustig the agle Ergoomic guidelies The recommeded scree positioig is based upo the followig guildelies. These guidelies are based o available scietific literature ad published stadards. Scree height The recommeded scree height for displays (except i special circumstaces, such as for bifocal use) is that the top of the display should be set at or slightly below (about 1 ich or 25 mm) your eye level while you are sittig i a comfortable workig posture. This guidelie places the ceter of the scree at a ideal 15 to 20 viewig agle for most desktop displays. If the display has multiple users, the scree height should be easily adjustable to accommodate each user s height ad preferece. Scree tilt The scree should be tilted so your lie of sight is perpedicular to the scree. This agle creates the most cosistet viewig distace whe scaig from the top of the scree to the bottom. You may eed to adjust lightig to avoid scree glare whe the scree is tilted upward. Scree distace from user The scree should first be placed at arm s legth from the user, the adjusted back ad forth to suit idividual preferece.. Startig the moitor Usig the EzTouch meu buttos Turig o the moitor This moitor features a oscree display (OSD) ad EzTouch meu buttos that let you tur the moitor o ad off, ad adjust cotrast, brightess, ad other settigs.

The moitor has pixels that are always dark or too bright This coditio is ormal ad iheret i the TFT techology used i active-matrix LCD screes. Gateway s ispectio stadards keep these to a miimum. If you feel these pixels are uacceptably umerous or dese o your display, cotact Gateway Customer Care to idetify whether a repair or replacemet is justified based o the umber of pixels affected. FAQs Geeral This sectio cotais aswers to frequetly asked questios. I have the moitor coected to my otebook s VGA port ad I see o image o the scree. You have two optios: If your otebook supports dual displays, you ca use both your otebook s display ad this moitor i exteded desktop multi-moitor mode. See Widows Help to lear how to eable multiple moitors. You ca also use this moitor as your primary moitor ad ot use the otebook s scree. Notebook computers typically have a FN key combiatio that lets you toggle betwee your otebook s display ad a exterally attached display. O Gateway otebooks, this key combiatio is FN+F4. The F4 key is located alog the top row of keys. See your otebook user guide for more iformatio. 16

21 How To Setup Why does the image looks stretched or fuzzy whe I coect the moitor to my computer? You must adjust the operatig system s display settigs to match the moitor s optimal (ative) settig. For iformatio o adjustig settigs i Widows Vista, see Chagig color depth ad scree resolutio o page 12. I do ot see available i the Widows display cotrol pael. Make sure that your video card ca display at resolutio. This may be caused by older video drivers o your computer. See the Gateway support Web site (support.gateway.com) for updated video drivers for your computer. You ca also go directly to your video card s support Web site for the most up-to-date video drivers. The Web sites for the major video card maufacturers are: ATI : Itel : Nvidia : Whe I coect the moitor s USB hub to my computer, I see a error message sayig that my USB hub may ot be ruig at full speed. This ca happe if you coected the moitor s high-speed USB 2.0 hub to a low-speed USB 1.1 hub or a USB 1.1 port o your computer. To use the moitor s high-speed USB 2.0 capabilities, you must coect the moitor to a USB 2.0 port o your computer. Whe I ru my games, I do ot see support for widescree displays. What ca I do? Newer games are addig support for widescree displays as the widescree format becomes more popular. Check the game s Web site for updates. You ca also cosult the followig Web site for specific settigs ad optios to cofigure older games to support widescree: Some adjustmets may require you to make chages to the Widows System Registry. We recommed makig a complete system backup before chagig the System Registry. Techical Why do I see oise or trash o the scree? Whe your display s digital capabilities exceed a digital broadcast sigal, the sigal is icreased (up-coverted) to match the display capabilities. Up-covertig ca cause oise or trash. The sigal o DVI-D is HDCP ecoded. Stop ad restart the source to allow reegotiatio. What is HDCP ad how do I troubleshoot it? High-badwidth Digital Cotet Protectio (HDCP) is a specificatio developed by the Itel Corporatio to protect digital etertaimet cotet that uses a digital visual iterface (DVI). HDCP ecrypts the trasmissio of digital cotet (sigal) betwee the video source (computer, DVD player, or set-top box) ad the digital display (moitor, digital televisio/dtv, or projector). HDCP is ot desiged to prevet copyig or recordig of digital cotet, but oly to protect the itegrity of the cotet as trasmitted. How does HDCP work? Implemetatio of HDCP requires a licese obtaiable from the Digital Cotet Protectio, LLC, which the issues a set of uique secret device keys to all authorized devices. Durig autheticatio, the receivig device oly accepts cotet after it ackowledges the keys. To further prevet stealig of the data or lie tappig, the trasmitter ad receiver geerate a shared secret value that is costatly checked throughout the trasmissio. After autheticatio is established, the trasmitter ecrypts the data ad seds it to the receiver for decryptio. 17

22 CHAPTER 1: Usig Your Gateway Flat-Pael Moitor Video/Display What happes if I lose sigal to the display while watchig a movie o a HDCP-equipped compoet? The compoet must be restarted to establish reegotiatio. For example, while watchig a movie o a HDCP-eabled DVD player, you chage the receivig device (DTV, moitor, or projector) iput to watch broadcast TV, the chage the iput back to watch the DVD movie. However, you are uable to watch the movie. This is because whe the iput was chaged, the receiver lost the HDCP sigal. Restart the HDCP-eabled DVD player to allow reegotiatio. What is the cause if a movie starts ad the slowly fades to static? The receivig device is ot HDCP compatible or it is ot egotiatig correctly. Restart the video source ad re-plug all video cables from the source to the TV. How do I kow if a compoet is HDCP compliat? If the video source device does ot have a DVI or HDMI coectio, it is ot HDCP compliat. I see black bars o left ad right of the video. Ca I stretch the video to fit more of the scree? Press the Meu butto o the right had side of the display, select Mai Meu, the select Video Adjust, the select Video Scalig. To fill more of the scree, choose Full mode. Importat Although the HDMI iterface supports audio, o audio is set to the moitor. You must separately coect the audio output of your video device to a exteral audio amplifier. 18

Do ot use this product ear water or a heat source such as a radiator. Set up the system o a stable work surface. The product should oly be operated from the type of power source idicated o the ratig label. If your product has a voltage selector switch, make sure that the switch is i the proper positio for your area. The voltage selector switch is set at the factory to the correct voltage. Opeigs i the moitor case are provided for vetilatio. Do ot block or cover these opeigs. Make sure you provide adequate space, at least 6 iches (15 cm), aroud the system for vetilatio whe you set up your work area. Never isert objects of ay kid ito the moitor vetilatio opeigs. Some products are equipped with a three-wire power cord to make sure that the product is properly grouded whe i use. The plug o this cord will oly fit ito a groudig-type outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are uable to isert the plug ito a outlet, cotact a electricia to istall the appropriate outlet. If you use a extesio cord with this system, make sure that the total ampere ratig o the products plugged ito the extesio cord does ot exceed the extesio cord ampere ratig. If your system is fitted with a TV Tuer, cable, or satellite receiver card, make sure that the atea or cable system is electrically grouded to provide some protectio agaist voltage surges ad buildup of static charges. Care durig use Warig To prevet electric shock, ever remove the cover. No user serviceable parts iside. Refer servicig to qualified service persoel. Do ot walk o the power cord or allow aythig to rest o it. Do ot spill aythig o the system. The best way to avoid spills is to avoid eatig ad drikig ear your system. Do ot expose the moitor to rai or use ear water. If the moitor does get exposed to moisture, uplug it ad allow it to dry for 24 hours.
