Overscan
- Refers to a cropped image on your monitor’s screen. A setting on your monitor zooms in on movie content, so that you cannot see the outermost edges of the film.
- Split the screen into two parts, a main window and an inset window. The user can specify the input source for each screen.
PIP Swap
- This exchanges the main-picture source with the sub-picture source.
- Resets the ViewMode monitor settings.
Resolution Notice
- The notice tells users that the current viewing resolution is not the correct native resolution. This notice will appear in the display settings window when setting up the display resolution.
Response Time
- Creates smooth images without streaking, blurring, or ghosting. A low response time is perfect for the most graphic-intense gaming, and provides amazing visual quality while watching sports or action movies.
RGB Color Space
- The most common color space for displays. Red, green, and blue light are added together to reproduce a broad array of colors.
- Adjusts the color depth of each color (red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, and yellow).
Setup Menu
- Adjusts On-Screen Display (OSD) Menu settings. Many of these settings can activate on-screen display notifications so users do not have to reopen the menu.
Sharpness
- Adjusts the picture quality of the monitor.
Skin Tone
- Adjust the hue of the monitor and the appearance of skin color. Tones can be adjusted from 0 to 10.
Standard Color
- The monitor comes with several display industry color standards. Each color mode can be selected for specific monitor applications.
- Adjust the color temperature of the monitor, meeting the user’s favorite color needs from a range of 4500K to 9300K.
- Enhance edges and decrease noise with a range of 0 to 10.
Uniformity
- The Uniformity Correction function compensates any luminance and color uniformity imbalances on the screen, such as dark spots, uneven brightness, or illegible images on the screen. With the ViewSonic® uniformity correction function, gray-scale levels become more balanced, and delta E scores are improved which increases reliability and provides the highest quality viewing experience from every monitor.
- ViewSonic’s unique ViewMode feature offers “Game”, “Movie”, “Web”, “Text”, “MAC”, and “Mono” presets. These presets are specifically designed to deliver an optimized viewing experience for different screen applications.
- YUV color space is used for color image and video processing; taking into account properties of the human eye that allow for reduced bandwidth of chroma components without perceptual distortion.
- Choose whether to activate Moving Picture Response Time (MPRT); default setting is Off.
- NOTE:
- Make sure Input Timing detection is >100Hz to turn on 1ms Mode from default.
- If 1ms Mode is set to “On”, when turning on FreeSync, MPRT will automatically turn off.
- When 1ms Mode is set to “On”, the following functions will be grayed out and disabled: Brightness, Advanced DCR, Eco Mode, sRGB, Response Time, DDC/CI Brightness adjustment.
- sRGB and 1ms Mode will disable each other.
- The IC controls Moving Picture Response Time, so the overall Brightness will be dark.

Maintaining the Monitor
General Precautions
- Make sure the monitor is turned off and the power cable is unplugged from the power outlet.
- Never spray or pour any liquid directly onto the screen or case.
- Handle the monitor with care, as a darker-colored monitor, if scuffed, may show marks more clearly than a lighter-colored monitor.
Cleaning the Screen
- Wipe the screen with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth. This removes dust and other particles.
- If the screen is still not clean, apply a small amount of non-ammonia, non-alcohol based glass cleaner onto a clean, soft, lint-free cloth; then wipe the screen.
Cleaning the Case
- Use a soft, dry cloth.
- If the case is still not clean, apply a small amount of non-ammonia, non-alcohol based, mild non-abrasive detergent onto a clean, soft, lint-free cloth, then wipe the surface.
