Care and Safety
Before you lift or reposition your display, you may need to disconnect the cables and power cord. Use correct lifting techniques when positioning the display. When lifting or carrying the display, hold it by the edges. Don't lift the display by the stand or the cord.
To clean the screen on your display:
1 Disconnect the power cord.
2 Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe dust from the screen.
WARNING: Don't clean the screen with a cleaner containing alcohol or acetone. Use a cleaner intended for use with a screen or display. Never spray cleaner directly on the screen. It may drip inside the display and cause damage.
Don't operate your display in areas with significant amounts of airborne dust, or smoke from cigarettes, cigars, ashtrays, stoves, or fireplaces, or near an ultrasonic humidifier using unfiltered tap water. Tiny airborne particles produced by smoking, cooking, burning, or using an ultrasonic humidifier with unfiltered water may, in rare instances, enter the ventilation openings of your display and, under certain conditions, result in a slight haze on the inside surface of the glass panel that covers the display.
Follow these safety guidelines for using your display:
- The only way to completely disconnect power is to unplug the power cord. Be sure to pull the plug, not the cord.
- Disconnect power immediately if the power cord is frayed or damaged, if you spill something on the display, or if the display falls or is damaged in some other way.
WARNING: Use only the power cord that came with your display. The power cord has a three-wire grounding plug (a plug that has a third grounding pin) that fits only a grounded AC outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug into an outlet because the outlet is not grounded, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a properly grounded outlet.
WARNING: Your display is a high-voltage component and should not be opened for any reason, even when it's unplugged. If your display needs service, see "Learning More, Service, and Support" on page 16.
Ergonomics
Here are some guidelines for adjusting your display to reduce glare and to accommodate your physical size and shape.
- Arrange the display so that the top of the screen is slightly below your eye level when you're sitting at the keyboard. The best distance from your eyes to the screen is up to you, although most people tend to prefer 18 to 28 inches (45 to 70 cm).
- Position the display by tilting it up or down to minimize glare and reflections from overhead lights and nearby windows.

Troubleshooting Your Display
Before performing any of these steps, make sure your computer is turned on, the display is plugged into a grounded power outlet, all the cables are connected properly to your computer and display, and your computer is not in sleep mode.
If the screen doesn't have an image:
- Check the cables and connectors again to make sure they are connected properly to your computer and the display.
- Make sure your computer is turned on and is not in sleep mode. If the lid on your MacBook Pro is closed, use the external keyboard or mouse to wake the MacBook Pro from sleep.
- Unplug the display's power cord from the grounded power outlet, wait a few minutes, then plug it in again.
- Reset the PRAM by restarting your computer while holding down the Command (⌘), Option, P, and R keys until you hear the startup sound a second time.
If the screen is dim:
- Make sure the display brightness is set properly. Choose Apple ( Apple ) > System Preferences and click Displays. Drag the Brightness slider to adjust the brightness.
- If the colors on the display are too saturated or not correct, you may need to calibrate your display. Open Displays preferences, click the Color tab, click Calibrate, and follow the instructions.
If your MacBook Pro isn't charging:
Make sure the MagSafe connector from your display is seated properly in the MagSafe power port on your MacBook Pro.
If the built-in FaceTime HD camera, microphone, speaker system, or ports on the display aren't working:
Make sure the Thunderbolt cable from the display is firmly plugged into the Thunderbolt port on your computer. The display's camera, microphone, speaker system, and ports work only when this cable is connected to your computer.
