power button should turn blue, indicating that the monitor has detected a video source.

light.

into an AC outlet.
• Purple—The monitor is turned off. Touch the power button to turn it on.

and make sure that the computer is turned on and connected correctly to the monitor.

your monitor, then touch (Auto) to automatically adjust your display image to the ideal

Windows) to adjust the display image. For more information about computer controls, see
“Changing Windows screen settings” on page 13 .
Using the EzTouch menu buttons
This monitor features an on-screen display (OSD) and EzTouch menu buttons that let you adjust
contrast, brightness, and other settings for the monitor. The monitor saves changes you make to
the settings, even if you turn off the monitor. Your monitor has two levels of menus, and the
functionality of the touch buttons depends on the menu that is currently open:
• The shortcut menu (the first menu that appears) lets you quickly change some of the most
commonly accessed settings.
• The main menu lets you precisely adjust all levels of settings.
Tip
To modify the language you select at a future time, use the Advanced menu.
If you cannot access the Advanced menu because you chose a language you cannot
read, do the following:
• Unplug the monitor from the power outlet for ten or more seconds.
• Plug the monitor back into the power outlet.
You will be prompted for the language selection menu settings again.
