Frequently Asked Questions - L17PS V7

How do I install the monitor base?

Place the monitor base on a desk, slide the neck into the slots of the base ensuring correct direction. Then slide the monitor into the neck until secure.

How do I connect the monitor to my computer?

Connect the analog signal cable to the D-SUB port on the monitor and the VGA port on your computer, tightening the screws. Optionally, use a DVI cable if your computer supports it. Then connect the power cord.

The monitor shows 'No Signal Input' - what should I do?

Ensure your computer is turned on. Check that the video cable is properly connected to both the monitor and the computer. Also make sure the computer is not in power saving mode (move the mouse or press a key).

How do I adjust the display settings like brightness and contrast?

Press any function key to activate the OSD menu. Use the buttons to navigate: select Main Menu, then Brightness or Contrast, and adjust using +/- keys.

What does the Advanced Power Saving Mode do?

Advanced Power Saving Mode gradually reduces backlight power over 7 minutes when the computer enters sleep, rather than cutting off immediately. This extends lamp life while saving energy. Access via OSD > System > Power Saving Mode > Advanced.

How do I clean the monitor safely?

Use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use abrasive materials, alcohol, or benzene. Avoid touching the screen with sharp objects.

The monitor shows 'Out of Range' - how to fix?

Ensure your computer's resolution and refresh rate are set to 1280x1024 and 75 Hz or lower. The monitor supports up to SXGA (1280x1024 @75Hz).

Can I mount the monitor on a wall?

The manual indicates that tilting beyond 20° is for wall mounting or packaging only. It does not specify VESA mount compatibility; refer to the manufacturer for wall mount options.

What is the TCO'03 certification?

TCO'03 ensures good ergonomics, energy efficiency, and environmental standards (e.g., low electromagnetic fields, recyclability, restriction of hazardous substances). This monitor carries that label.

How do I reset the monitor to factory settings?

Access the OSD main menu, select Recall (or Reset), then confirm. This restores all parameters to default values.

1. The following frequency range is the working period. If the entered mode between below period but not match the frequency of supported timing, display optimization would not be assured. If the entered mode is out of the working period, the display will be blanking (just show "INPUT SIGNAL OUT OF RANGE") then go to power saving.
2. Basically, mode judgment is regardless the sync polarity except both or more modes that are all belong to the supported timing list and could be judged by sync polarity only.
3. In the meantime, real entered frequency of the supported timing is not requested exactly.
4. Normalization of VGA card's deviation will be acceptable.

Addendum

Advanced Power Saving Mode

1. Background

The traditional monitors have the function of electricity-saving dormancy. But the interval of dormancy is difficult to decide. If the interval is long, the purpose of saving electricity can not be achieved. While the interval is short, your computer and LCD monitor would be dormant often. When the LCD monitor becomes dormant, the back lights will be turned off immediately. The frequent turn-on and turn-off of lights will result in the lightness uneven and even shortening the life of the lights.

2. Our solution to the dilemma - Monitor Life-Extension function

In view of that, we have designed the function of Monitor Life-Extension. Once you select the option of "Advanced Power Saving Mode" in the OSD menu, and then you can not only save electricity, but extend the life of the lights.

3. Working principle of the Monitor Life-Extension function

To minimize the impact of frequent turn-on and turn-off of LCD monitor, the Life-Extension function decreases the electricity supplied to the back-light of LCD monitor gradually, instead of cut it off right away when PC enters sleeping or off mode. Please see following comparison graphics for details.

* Standard Power Saving Mode (without Monitor Life-Extension function)

* Advanced Power Saving Mode (with Monitor Life-Extension function)

This "Slow-Start-n-Delay-Off" approach minimizes the transit of electricity and temperature caused by the turn-on and turn-off of LCD monitor. Therefore, the decay of backlights of TFT-LCD can be controlled in the certain level which is much less than it was.

4. The side effect of the Monitor Life-Extension function (why not preset Advanced Power Saving Mode as default?)

According to the request of EPA (US Environmental Protection Agency) to power management of monitors, the power consumption of the monitor must go down to below 3 watts within 3 seconds after the monitor steps in power saving mode. But the Life-Extension function decreases the electricity supplied to the backlights of LCD monitor gradually. Therefore, the Monitor Life-Extension function has conflict with the requirement of EPA in the first 7 minutes after entering sleeping mode. Even though, comparing the advantages of both conditions, we still recommend you strongly to set your monitor in Advanced Power Saving mode.

5.How to engage the Monitor Life-Extension function? You may simply use the OSD control to activate the Monitor Life-Extension function.

1. Press arbitrarily 4 buttons (other than the Power Switch) to activate the OSD menu.
2. Press button to enter function menu.
3. Press < or > button to select system
4. Press OK to confirm the selection.
5. Press < or > button to select POWER SAVING MODE
6. Press OK to confirm the selection.
7. Press < or > button to select the advanced option in the POWER SAVING MODE functions.
8. Press OK to confirm the selection.
9. Press ▲ button to exit the higher level menu.
10. Press the ← button to exit the OSD menu.
