Play/Stop Display timing Menu Position Menu Duration Language Overview | Installation | OSD Mode | Uninstall | Troubleshooting Overview What is MagicTuneTM? Monitor performance can vary due to the graphics card, host computer lighting conditions and other environmental factors. In order to get the best image on a monitor requires you to adjust it for your unique setting. Unfortunately, the manual controls available to tune the image often prove to be challenging. Proper adjustment (tuning) requires an easy to use program that goes through a step-by-step process to obtain the best overall picture quality. In most cases even simple adjustments to Brightness, or Contrast require navigation of the multi-level, onscreen display (OSD) menus that are not easy to understand. Furthermore, there is no feedback to assist in correctly setting the controls of the monitor. MagicTune is a software utility that guides you through the tuning process with easy to understand instructions and back ground patterns designed for each monitor control. The display settings for each user can be saved, providing an easy way to select display characteristics in a multiuser environme or having a single user have multiple defined presets based on content and ambient lighting. Basic Functionality MagicTune is a software utility that allows monitor adjustment and color tuning using the Display Data Channel Command Interface (DDC/CI) protocol. All adjustments to the display are controlled via software to eliminate the need to use the monitor on-screen display (OSD). MagicTune supports WindowsTM 98 SE, Me, 2000, XP Home, and XP Professional. It is recommended using MagicTune in WindowsTM 2000 or later. MagicTune allows for quick accurate tuning of the display with the ability to easily save and use monitor configurations that are best suited for you. OSD Mode The OSD mode allows easy adjustment of monitor settings without taking pre-defined steps. You can access the desired menu item to set with ease.
