Troubleshooting

No picture
• The signal cable should be completely connected to the
display card/computer.
• The display card should be completely seated in its slot.
• Check the main Power Switch, it should be in the ON
position.
• Front Power Switch and computer power switch should be in
the ON position.
• Check to make sure that a supported mode has been
selected on the display card or system being used. (Please
consult display card or system manual to change graphics
mode.)
• Check the monitor and your display card with respect to
compatibility and recommended settings.
• Check the signal cable connector for bent or pushed-in pins.
• The monitor automatically goes into OFF at the preset time
period after signal is lost. Press the power button.
Power Button does not respond
• Unplug the power cord of the monitor from the AC outlet to
turn off and reset the monitor.
• Check the main Power Switch on the back side of the monitor.
Image persistence
• Please be aware that LCD Technology may experience
a phenomenon known as Image Persistence. Image
Persistence occurs when a residual or "ghost" image of a
previous image remains visible on the screen. Unlike CRT
monitors, LCD monitors' image persistence is not permanent,
but constant images being displayed for a long period of time
should be avoided. To alleviate image persistence, turn off
the monitor for as long as the previous image was displayed.
For example, if an image was on the monitor for one hour
and a residual image remains, the monitor should be turned
off for one hour to erase the image.
NOTE: As with all personal display devices, NEC DISPLAY
SOLUTIONS recommends displaying moving images
and using a moving screen saver at regular intervals
whenever the screen is idle or turning off the monitor
when not in use.
Image is unstable, unfocused or swimming is apparent
• Signal cable should be completely attached to the computer.
• Use the OSD Image Adjust controls to focus and adjust
display by increasing or decreasing the fi ne adjustment.
When the display mode is changed, the OSD Image Adjust
settings may need to be re-adjusted.
• Check the monitor and your display card with respect to
compatibility and recommended signal timings.
• If your text is garbled, change the video mode to non-
interlace and use 60Hz refresh rate.
