Built-in diagnostics

Your monitor has a built-in diagnostic tool that helps you determine if the screen
abnormality you are experiencing is an inherent problem with your monitor, or with your
computer and video card.
To run the built-in diagnostics:
1. Ensure that the screen is clean (no dust particles on the surface of the screen).
2. Unplug the video cable(s) from the back of the computer or monitor. The monitor
then goes into the self-test mode.
3. Press and hold Button 5 for 4 seconds, system will pop OSD message, select
and press Button 1. A gray screen appears.
4. Carefully inspect the screen for abnormalities.
5. Move joystick (Button 1) to right. The color of the screen changes to red.
6. Inspect the display for any abnormalities.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 to inspect the display in green, blue, black, white, and text
screens.
The test is complete when the text screen appears. To exit, press Button 5 again.
If you do not detect any screen abnormalities upon using the built-in diagnostic tool,
the monitor is functioning properly. Check the video card and computer.
