Convergence: adjusts Vertical Convergence Convergence is the monitor's ability to precisely illuminate specific phosphors and line them up properly in order to produce pure color. Displayed characters and images may appear fuzzy or have tinges of red , green, or blue if the electron beams do not converge correctly. Acer 211c offers a convergence adjustment feature. To properly adjust convergence, it is best to have an image that makes it easy to see any convergence error. A black background with white letters or lines is recommended. When adjusting convergence, look at the adjustment across the whole screen. When adjusting horizontal convergence, look at the left and right edges of vertical lines or characters. When adjusting vertical convergence, look at the top and bottom edges of horizontal lines or characters. The monitor is properly adjusted when the effects of red and blue tinges are minimized. ? : 16 ? The convergence adjustment adjusts the entire screen. It is not possible to limit adjustment to specific screen areas. Factory default setting values : 0 A Look at the Control Panel Moire Horizontal & Vertical Moire adjustment Horizontal Moire: adjusts horizontal Moire Vertical Moire: adjusts vertical Moire Moire refers to an interference pattern of dark wavy lines on the screen. It is an interference phenomenon caused by the relationship between the phosphor layout and the imaging signal. In fact, it is often considered an indication of good focus level. ? It is especially noticeable when using a light-gray or every-otherdot pattern. Moire cannot be eliminated. However, it can be reduced with the moire reduction feature. Moire can be reduced by adjusting the iscreen moire reduction function. Prior to adjustment, set the screen to a full white pattern so that moire will be visible. After this adjustment, make changes to a different screen background in order to reduce moire even further. ? If the picture is unstable when you adjust the moire reduction setting, over-adjustment has occured. Please lower the moire reduction setting level.
