Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A video display apparatus capable of communicating with an external controller includes a microcontroller for receiving commands from an external controller, a first non-volatile memory for storing data relating to the video display apparatus, first bus line for connecting the external controller with the microcontroller and the first non-volatile memory, a second non-volatile memory for storing the same data that is stored in the first non-volatile memory, and second bus lines for connecting the second non-volatile memory with the microcontroller.

Abstract: An image signal display device includes program data readout circuitry by which at least one second adjustment data not to be adjusted takes a proper value relative to a first adjustment data to be adjusted, in accordance with a predetermined relational expression. Data calculating circuitry is provided to calculate the second adjustment data in accordance with the predetermined relational expression, in response to a change in the first adjustment data. Data changing circuitry is provided to change the second adjustment data together with the first adjustment data. A memory is provided to store at least a coefficient data of the relational expression, wherein the memory can be read out from and written to. A digital/analog conversion circuit is provided to convert an output signal from the memory into an analog signal. Additionally, a display is provided to represent an output signal from the digital/analog conversion circuit as an image.
