Abstract
An apparatus and method for synchronously selecting icons in a flywheel controlled color computer monitor is disclosed, in which the icons representing the monitor display parameters to be adjusted and the function to be executed are arranged into a close circle which defines a circular path to be followed by the screen cursor so that the movement of the screen cursor is substantially in synchronization with the rotational motion of the flywheel control. Thus a more user friendly environment is provided in adjusting the monitor.
