■ Remove any extension cables or switchboxes.
■ Make sure that the video cable is connected securely to the back of your computer.
■ Make sure that the video cable is not damaged.
■ Check the end of the video cable for any pins that might be bent or pushed in.
Color is not uniform
Make sure that:
■ The monitor warms up for at least 30 minutes before making a final judgment about
color uniformity.
■ Non-shielded speakers are not placed too close to the monitor.
■ The monitor is not positioned too close to another monitor, power transformer or
adapter, electric fan, fluorescent light, metal shelf, or laser printer.
■ You demagnetize the screen using the Degauss option in the OSD.
Image is not sized or centered correctly
Use the size and position controls in the OSD to adjust the image.
Image cannot be adjusted full screen
Some video modes used by the monitor produce images that cannot be adjusted all the
way out to the bezel edge (the edge where the screen glass and monitor casing meet).
This condition does not indicate that the monitor is defective.
