Getting Started

Congratulations on your purchase of a ViewSonic G75f color monitor.

Important! Save the original box and all packing material for future shipping

needs.

NOTE: This product was designed for operation in the magnetic fields of the

hemisphere where it was purchased. Also, the word “Windows” in this user

guide refers to the following Microsoft operating systems: Windows ‘95,

Windows NT, Windows ‘98, Windows 2000 and Windows ME (Millennium).

Package Contents

Your G75f package includes:

• G75f monitor

• Attached DB-15 video cable

• Power cord

•SetupGuide

• ViewSonic Wizard CD-ROM (including user guide PDF file and INF/ICM

display optimization files)

NOTE: The supplied INF file ensures compatibility with Windows operating

systems, and the ICM file (Image Color Matching) ensures accurate on-screen

colors. ViewSonic®recommends that you install both files.

Precautions

• For best viewing conditions sit at least

18” from the monitor.

• AVOID TOUCHING THE SCREEN

WITH YOUR FINGERS. Oils from the

skin are difficult to remove.

• NEVER REMOVE THE REAR

COVER. The monitor contains high-

voltage parts. You may suffer serious

injury if you touch these parts.

• Avoid exposing the monitor to direct

sunlight or another heat source. The

monitor should be facing away from

direct sunlight to reduce glare.

• Do not place your monitor near a source

of water or moisture.

• Place your monitor in a well ventilated

area. Do not place anything on the

monitor that blocks the ventilation slots

or prevents adequate dissipation of heat.

• Do not place heavy objects on the

monitor, video cable, or power cord.

• If smoke, abnormal noise, or strange

odor is present, immediately switch the

monitor off and call your dealer or

ViewSonic. It is dangerous to operate

your monitor under these conditions.

• Keep the monitor away from magnets,

motors, transformers and televisions.

Using the Monitor

Setting the Timing Mode

Setting the timing mode is important for maximizing the quality of the

screen image and minimizing eye strain. The timing mode consists of the

resolution (example 1280 x 1024) and refresh rate (or vertical frequency;

example 75 Hz). After setting the timing mode, use the OnView®controls

to adjust the screen image.

The recommended timing modes for this monitor are:

VESA 1024 x 768 @ 75 Hz.

To set the Timing Mode:

1Set the resolution: Right-click on the Windows®desktop > Properties >

Settings > Desktop Area or Screen Area for Windows 98 and newer > set

the resolution.

2Set the refresh rate: See your graphic card's user guide for instructions.

NOTE: To minimize the adjustments required for an optimal screen image,

selectatimingmodefromthePreset Timing Modes table below.

WARNING: Do NOT set the graphics card in your computer to exceed the

maximum refresh rate for each resolution (see below). Doing so may result in

permanent damage to your monitor.

Adjusting the Screen Image

Beginning with the Main Menu shown below, use the buttons on the front

control panel to adjust the OnView®controls which display on the screen. The

OnView controls are explained in the four steps at the top of the next page and

are further explained on pages 8-10.

IMPORTANT: The monitor should be warmed up for 30 minutes prior to

making any adjustments.

* The monitor automatically degausses each time you turn it on, removing the buildup of magnetic

fields that can affect color purity and convergence. To prevent possible damage, if you turn the

monitor off, then immediately on again, wait 20 minutes before doing this again. Do not turn the

monitor on and off repeatedly. To manually degauss the monitor, see the instructions on page 9.
