Monitor system menu access
Monitors based on CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) usually had limited number of settings available in user OSD (On-Screen Display) menu.
But some models had special tunes for service purposes (or for power users).
There is no need to enter service menu if you are not sure in possible damage. Although most of LCD monitors have system menu rather than service menu, so the possible risk is minimal.
To access service settings you have to activate service mode by pressing some button combinations. After service mode activation the OSD menu shows new setting items, sometimes it totally transforms into service (or system) menu.
