Choose your desired preset from the list. Common options include ‘Standard,’ ‘Cinema,’ ‘Game,’ and ‘Bright.’ Selecting a preset will automatically apply the corresponding settings to your monitor.
Using Image Presets for Different Activities
Each preset is optimized for specific activities:

Customizing Presets
If the default presets do not meet your preferences, you can customize settings such as brightness, contrast, and color temperature. After selecting a preset, navigate to the ‘Brightness’ and ‘Contrast’ options within the same menu. Adjust these parameters to your liking.
Saving and Exiting
Once you have configured the desired preset and settings, save your changes if prompted. Exit the OSD menu by pressing the joystick or the ‘Exit’ button. Your selected preset will now be active and ready for use.
Tips for Optimal Use
Switch presets depending on your activity for the best experience. For example, use ‘Game’ mode for gaming sessions and ‘Cinema’ mode for watching movies. Regularly revisit the settings to ensure they continue to meet your preferences as lighting conditions change.
