Best Answer

The brightness and contrast have some impact on eyestrain, but the main cause of eyestrain from Computer Monitors is the refresh rate.

You should turn the refresh rate up as high as your monitor supports, especially if you are in an area with fluorescent lights. The default refresh rate for a monitor is 60 Hz, the same as fluorescent lights. With your monitor flickering at 60 Hz, and the lights flickering at 60 Hz (and not at the same time) the back-and-forth flickering, even though it can't be noticed, can cause considerable eye strain.

What does OSD Lockout mean on your PC?

OSD stands for "On Screen Display." It is an onscreen configuration menu included with various monitors. When you press the MENU button or one of the other buttons on the front or side of a monitor, the onscreen display may appear. The OSD typically includes monitor calibration options, such as brightness, contrast, and color adjustments. Some OSDs may also include horizontal and vertical position controls as well as tilt and keystone adjustments. If you can't make adjustments to the monitor settings using the OSD interface, the onscreen display may be locked. You may also see the phrase "OSD Locked" appear when you try to change the settings. Some monitors include an option within the menu called "OSD Lock", which you can turn on or off. If this option is available, simply turn OSD Lock off and you will be able to make adjustments to the settings. If your monitor does not include the "OSD Lock" option, you may be able to unlock the OSD by pressing and holding the MENU button on the front or side of the monitor for several seconds. If you try this method, be patient! It may take up to 15 seconds for the OSD to unlock.

Tft flat panel monitor with a vga connection you also have a computer with a vga connection How can you improve the monitor to digital quality?

Digital video is not inherently better than analog. In some cases, digital can be a lower quality. DVI is the digital display standard for computers but it is based on the same resolution as VGA outputs which are analog. Simply replacing the connection with a digital one will not improve the resolution. One adjustment that may improve VGA quality is the phasing of a monitor. Two adjustments often called "clock" and "phase" control the way an LCD monitor samples an incoming VGA signal. The ideal is that each sample is taken at the middle of each pixel as it is delivered through the VGA cable. If the frequency of the samples is not the same as the pixel rate, some distortions can become evident. Using the two controls allows adjustments to be made so that every pixel is sampled and displayed properly. Once this is done, there is no discernible difference between an analog and a digital signal. The clock and phase adjustments are often set automatically by the monitor using an auto adjust feature.

How are net and gross adjustments on a real estate appraisal calculated?

The net adjustment is the percentage difference between the sales price of the comparable and the net result of the adjustments. Gross adjustments are the percentage of total gross sum of adjustments of that particular comparable in relation to it's sales price. For example if a comparable has received both upward adjustments and downward adjustments it may have a net adjustment of very little. However, the total amount of adjustments made could be significantly higher, resulting in a higher gross adjustment factor for that particular comp.
