Abstract

A circuit and method for indicating an image adjustment pattern using an on-screen display (OSD), includes: a microcomputer for selectively generating a free running frequency or converting the free running frequency into a standard mode frequency and generating a frequency output and video data according to the frequency converted; an OSD control circuit for receiving the frequency output from the microcomputer, and generating an OSD gain signal in accordance with a signal cable check request and an image adjustment pattern OSD gain signal according to the frequency output; a signal processing circuit for receiving and processing the video data according to the frequency output from the microcomputer, and thus outputting a video signal; and a video mixer for mixing the video signal output from the signal processing circuit and the OSD gain signal selectively output from the OSD control circuit, and outputting a signal cable check request video signal and an image adjustment pattern video signal.
