A single horizontal scan range CRT monitor that includes a receiver for receiving display signals in a digital format from an external source, the initial display signals having one of a plurality of input resolutions, and a converter connected to the receiver and supplied with the initial display signals for detecting the input resolution of the initial display signals and converting the initial display signals to digital output signals having an output resolution selected from a plurality of different output resolutions matched to the detected input resolution of the initial display signals, and wherein all of the plurality of output resolutions have a same horizontal resolution and all of the digital output signals have a same horizontal frequency.

Single horizontal scan range CRT monitor

A monitor, preferably a CRT, comprising a display screen for displaying an image, a frame memory for storing one or more frames of video display data for display by the display screen, and a clock control circuit for dynamically varying either or both of the timing and interval spacing of a data output clock used to read out the display data from the frame memory to the display screen in order to manipulate the image displayed on the display screen.

Monitor adjustment by data manipulation

A method for storing status information prior to shutdown of a video monitor due to a failure. An indication of an operational parameter is obtained. Based on the indication, it is determined if the failure occurs warranting shutdown. If the failure occurs, status information is stored in a non-volatile memory for later retrieval during repair. A shutdown sequence is generated to disable the video monitor.

Monitor status information storage and display

An apparatus to automatically adjust image distortions is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a driver operable to generate images on a screen. The apparatus further comprises a plurality of sensors coupled to the screen. Each sensor detects whether the area under the sensor is illuminated. The apparatus further comprises a circuit coupled to the plurality of sensors and the driver. The circuit is configured to adjust the driver based on illumination of a sub-set of the plurality of sensors.

Method and apparatus for adjusting a monitor display

Conventional method sets up parameters for a monitor by using the panel buttons installed in the front of the monitor, especially when the monitor is first connected to a computer. However, it is inconvenient to use the panel buttons to set up a monitor. To overcome the shortcomings of the available art, a monitor set up application displays a visual interface for setting up a monitor. The visual interface provides a pattern background and an adjustment window. Monitor adjustments can be performed through the adjustment window. The pattern background changes in response to each step of the adjustment, so that a user can observe the impacts of the adjustment. In addition, based on the model of the monitor, the visual interface provides the message indicating the recommended adjustments to the monitor.
