"Troubleshooting" on page 21. If you experience difficulties with the quality of the displayed
image, run Auto Adjustment by touching "AUTO" control button. You may want to refer to
"Adjusting Your LCD Monitor" on page 8 or "Troubleshooting" on page 21.

Warm-up Time

All LCD monitors need time to become thermally stable whenever you turn on the monitor
after letting the monitor be turned off for a couple of hours. Therefore, to achieve more
accurate adjustments for parameters, allow the LCD monitor to warm (be on) for at least 20
minutes before making any screen adjustments.
