The interface panel, bottom right is a little fiddly to work with, as the buttons are underneath the bezel at the bottom. They require a heavy hand to activate and I found myself moving the screen completely when I was pushing them. It is easier to hold the top of the screen while pressing them.
The buttons offer preset colour modes, 3D on or off, Main menu system, input selection and power.
The colour modes cover a wide gamut of settings to suit a variety of situations. The sRGB mode seemed to deliver the most accurate colours, and the theater and Scenery modes were useful for watching high definition video and for viewing pictures. Game Mode is designed for gamers who are susceptible to motion blur.
The 3D button allows the user to change standard 2D images into 3D. There is around a 4-5 second delay when pressing this button as the panel switches to the other mode. Obviously if you are looking at this without the relevant glasses, you get a ‘fuzzy' image, as seen above (right).
We found that this 2D-3D mode didn't work wonderfully well and that dedicated 3D content always looked much better. Much as we would have expected.
The VG23AH panel has several sub menu sections to cover a wide gamut of fine tuning. The first ‘Splendid' panel is used to switch between the various modes. The ‘Color' sub menu is only available when specific presets are used. The ‘Image' menu offers several useful settings, such as a trace free panel to help minimise any motion blur. The remaining menus offer fine tuning for the interface panels and input selection.
