  • Patent number: 8570315
    Abstract: A method for fully-automatically aligning the quality of an image is provided. The method processes the video signals provided by the Video Graphic Array (VGA) display card in the computer system through the multi-sync display itself, and further interprets whether a computer host ID stored in the VGA display card or the computer host matches with a computer host ID stored in the multi-sync display, so as to avoid repetitious aligning to the same computer system, and achieve full automatic aligning to the quality of the image displayed on the multi-sync display. Therefore, even if the multi-sync display is situated under different computer hosts or VGA display cards and placed where an user cannot touch, the inconvenience of pressing a button on the multi-sync display to align the quality of the image displayed on the multi-sync display in conventional techniques can be prevented.
