Overview
What is Display Tune®?
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, on-screen display (OSD) menus that are
not easy to understand. Furthermore, there is no feedback to assist in
correctly setting the controls of the monitor. Display Tune is a software
utility that guides you through the tuning process with easy to understand
instructions and background 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 multi-user environment, or having
a single user have multiple defined presets based on content and ambient
lighting.
Basic functionality
Display Tune 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). Display Tune supports
Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, NT, XP Home, XP Professional, and XP Professional x64 Edition.
Display Tune runs in the background and can be accessed through the
task tray, start menu, or right click on the desktop. Display Tune allows
for quick accurate tuning of the display with the ability to easily save
and use monitor configurations that are best suited for you.
Wizard
and OSD Modes
Display Tune has two modes of operation: Wizard and OSD mode. The preferred
method of use is Wizard mode, which takes you through a step-by-step process
to accurately calibrate the monitor. This method relies on a sequence
of steps that will obtain the best display results when completed.
OSD mode allows you to easily make changes to any single monitor setting
without the need to go through a predefined sequence. This method is
less accurate than Wizard mode, but allows easy access to any monitor
adjustment.
NOTE: Some Display Tune features may not be supported on your display.
Display Tune is designed to work with monitors that fully comply with Portrait
Displays Monitor Reference Specification. Failure to comply with the specification
will cause some controls to behave incorrectly.
