CHAPTER 1: Using Your Gateway Flat-Panel Monitor  
Connecting USB cables (Option)  
Your monitor has the built-in webcam, microphne, card reader and USB 2.0 hub. In order to use  
these devices, your monitor needs to be connected to your computer using the supplied USB A-B  
cable.  
Important  
The applications required for the webcam and microphone are on the  
included CD.  
The USB 2.0 hub will let you conveniently connect USB devices. Because your computer case may  
be under your desk or inside a cabinet, these monitor-mounted USB ports can be much easier to  
access.  
To use the monitor’s USB ports, you must first connect the monitor to a USB port on your computer.  
Because the USB hub uses power from the monitor, it does not require its own power connection.  
To connect USB cables:  
Important  
The built-in USB 2.0 hub provides only low-speed connections if its USB-in port  
is connected to a USB 1.1 port on your computer or on a USB hub.  
Tip  
Use the USB 2.0 ports on the back of the monitor for connecting USB devices  
you want to keep connected most of the time, such as a keyboard, a mouse, or a  
printer. Use the USB 2.0 ports on the side of the monitor for connecting USB devices  
that are frequently disconnected, such as cameras, flash drives, and USB hard drives.  
1
Connect the included USB cable to the USB-in (“B” type) port on your monitor, then connect  
the other end (“A” type) of the cable to a USB 2.0 port on your computer.

CHAPTER 1: Using Your Gateway Flat-Panel Monitor  
Adjusting the angle  
Ergonomic guidelines  
The recommended screen positioning is based upon the following guildelines. These guidelines  
are based on available scientific literature and published standards.  
Screen height  
The recommended screen height for displays (except in special circumstances, such as for bifocal  
use) is that the top of the display should be set at or slightly below (about 1 inch or 25 mm) your  
eye level while you are sitting in a comfortable working posture. This guideline places the center  
of the screen at an ideal 15° to 20° viewing angle for most desktop displays. If the display has  
multiple users, the screen height should be easily adjustable to accommodate each user’s height  
and preference.  
Screen tilt  
The screen should be tilted so your line of sight is perpendicular to the screen. This angle creates  
the most consistent viewing distance when scanning from the top of the screen to the bottom.  
You may need to adjust lighting to avoid screen glare when the screen is tilted upward.  
Screen distance from user  
The screen should first be placed at arm’s length from the user, then adjusted back and forth to  
suit individual preference.  
.
Starting the monitor  
Using the EzTouch menu buttons  
This monitor features an onscreen display (OSD) and EzTouch menu buttons that let you turn the  
monitor on and off, and adjust contrast, brightness, and other settings. For more information on

Changing Windows screen settings  
Adjusting the color depth and screen area are two of the most basic display settings you may need  
to change. You can also adjust settings such as the screen background and screen saver.  
Changing color depth and screen resolution  
Color depth and screen resolution are two of the most basic monitor settings you may need to  
change to suit your needs.  
Color depth is the number of colors your computer uses to display images on your monitor. Most  
images look best displayed with the maximum number of colors available. If the color in your  
images seems “false” or “jumpy,” especially after you have played a game or run a video-intensive  
program, check the color depth setting and return it to the highest color setting, if necessary.  
Screen resolution is the number of pixels (individual colored dots) your computer uses to display  
images on your monitor. The higher the resolution, the more information and screen components  
(such as icons and menu bars) can be displayed on the monitor.

identify whether a repair or replacement is justified based on the number of pixels affected.  
FAQs  
This section contains answers to frequently asked questions.  
General  
I have the monitor connected to my notebook’s VGA port and I see no image on the screen.  
You have two options:  
If your notebook supports dual displays, you can use both your notebook’s display and  
this monitor in extended desktop multi-monitor mode. See Windows Help to learn how  
to enable multiple monitors.  
You can also use this monitor as your primary monitor and not use the notebook’s  
screen. Notebook computers typically have an FN key combination that lets you toggle  
between your notebook’s display and an externally attached display. On Gateway  
notebooks, this key combination is FN+F4. The F4 key is located along the top row of  
keys. See your notebook user guide for more information.  
16  
 
           
How To  
Setup  
Why does the image looks stretched or fuzzy when I connect the monitor to my computer?  
You must adjust the operating system’s display settings to match the monitor’s optimal (native)  
1920 × 1080 setting. For information on adjusting settings in Windows Vista, see “Changing color  
I do not see 1920 × 1080 available in the Windows display control panel.  
Make sure that your video card can display at 1920 × 1080 resolution.  
This may be caused by older video drivers on your computer. See the Gateway support Web  
site (support.gateway.com) for updated video drivers for your computer. You can also go  
directly to your video card’s support Web site for the most up-to-date video drivers. The Web  
sites for the major video card manufacturers are:  
When I connect the monitor’s USB hub to my computer, I see an error message saying that  
my USB hub may not be running at full speed.  
This can happen if you connected the monitor’s high-speed USB 2.0 hub to a low-speed USB 1.1  
hub or a USB 1.1 port on your computer. To use the monitor’s high-speed USB 2.0 capabilities, you  
must connect the monitor to a USB 2.0 port on your computer.  
When I run my games, I do not see support for widescreen displays. What can I do?  
Newer games are adding support for widescreen displays as the widescreen format becomes more  
popular. Check the game’s Web site for updates. You can also consult the following Web site for  
specific settings and options to configure older games to support widescreen:  
Some adjustments may require you to make changes to the Windows System Registry. We  
recommend making a complete system backup before changing the System Registry.  
Technical  
Why do I see “noise” or “trash” on the screen?  
When your display’s digital capabilities exceed a digital broadcast signal, the signal is increased  
(up-converted) to match the display capabilities. Up-converting can cause “noise” or “trash.” The  
signal on DVI-D is HDCP encoded. Stop and restart the source to allow renegotiation.  
What is HDCP and how do I troubleshoot it?  
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a specification developed by the Intel®  
Corporation to protect digital entertainment content that uses a digital visual interface (DVI).  
HDCP encrypts the transmission of digital content (signal) between the video source (computer,  
DVD player, or set-top box) and the digital display (monitor, digital television/DTV, or projector).  
HDCP is not designed to prevent copying or recording of digital content, but only to protect the  
integrity of the content as transmitted.  
How does HDCP work?  
Implementation of HDCP requires a license obtainable from the Digital Content Protection, LLC,  
which then issues a set of unique secret device keys to all authorized devices. During authentication,  
the receiving device only accepts content after it acknowledges the keys. To further prevent stealing  
of the data or line tapping, the transmitter and receiver generate a shared secret value that is  
constantly checked throughout the transmission. After authentication is established, the  
transmitter encrypts the data and sends it to the receiver for decryption.  
17  
 
   
CHAPTER 1: Using Your Gateway Flat-Panel Monitor  
What happens if I lose signal to the display while watching a movie on a HDCP-equipped  
component?  
The component must be restarted to establish renegotiation.  
For example, while watching a movie on a HDCP-enabled DVD player, you change the receiving  
device (DTV, monitor, or projector) input to watch broadcast TV, then change the input back to watch  
the DVD movie. However, you are unable to watch the movie. This is because when the input was  
changed, the receiver lost the HDCP signal. Restart the HDCP-enabled DVD player to allow  
renegotiation.  
What is the cause if a movie starts and then slowly fades to static?  
The receiving device is not HDCP compatible or it is not negotiating correctly. Restart the video  
source and re-plug all video cables from the source to the TV.  
How do I know if a component is HDCP compliant?  
If the video source device does not have a DVI or HDMI connection, it is not HDCP compliant.  
Video/Display  
I see black bars on left and right of the video. Can I stretch the video to fit more of the screen?  
Press the Menu button on the right hand side of the display, select Main Menu, then select Video  
Adjust, then select Video Scaling. To fill more of the screen, choose Full mode.  
Important  
Although the HDMI interface supports audio, no audio is sent to the monitor. You must  
separately connect the audio output of your video device to an external audio amplifier.

If your product has a voltage selector switch, make sure that the switch is in the proper position for your area. The voltage selector  
switch is set at the factory to the correct voltage.  
Openings in the monitor case are provided for ventilation. Do not block or cover these openings. Make sure you provide adequate  
space, at least 6 inches (15 cm), around the system for ventilation when you set up your work area. Never insert objects of any kind  
into the monitor ventilation openings.  
Some products are equipped with a three-wire power cord to make sure that the product is properly grounded when in use. The  
plug on this cord will only fit into a grounding-type outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into an outlet,  
contact an electrician to install the appropriate outlet.  
If you use an extension cord with this system, make sure that the total ampere rating on the products plugged into the extension  
cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating.  
If your system is fitted with a TV Tuner, cable, or satellite receiver card, make sure that the antenna or cable system is electrically  
grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and buildup of static charges.
