Plug and Play

This monitor conforms to the VESA DDC (Display Data Channel) standard, which means that when it is used with a DDC compatible video card, the monitor is easier to set up. With VESA DDC 1/2B, when the monitor is turned on, it will automatically notify a windows 9X/2000/XP host computer of its scanning frequencies, capabilities and characteristics. Windows 9X/2000/XP will automatically recognize the presence of the monitor and select the appropriate display resolution.

Visual Inspection

Permanently unlit or lit pixels

The standard of production techniques today cannot guarantee an absolutely fault free LCD display. A few isolated permanently lit or unlit pixels may be present. The maximum permitted number of pixel faults is stipulated in the stringent international standard ISO 13406-2 (Class II).

Example:

A 17" flat-screen monitor with a resolution of 1280 x 1024 has 1280 x 1024 = 1310720 pixels. Each pixel consists of three subpixels (red, green and blue), so there are about 4 million dots in total.

According to ISO 13406-2 (Class II), a maximum of 6 pixels and 7 subpixels may be defective, i. e. a total of 25 faulted dots.

Troubleshooting

Before consulting service personnel, check the following chart for a possible cause and solution to the trouble you are experiencing.

1 Monitor will not turn on

- Make sure the power cord is plugged in.

2 No picture

• Make sure the power cord is plugged in.
• Check the signal cable connecting the LCD monitor and the computer (refer to page 12).
• Press the button on the front panel of the monitor.

3 Poor picture or abnormal picture

• Press the MENU button to adjust the Brightness Contrast option in the OSD.
• Adjust the Color Select option in the OSD.
• Press the AUTO button on the front panel of the monitor, to automatically adjust the display mode.

4 Out of range message appears

- If using Windows 9X/2000/XP, wait a few seconds; once Windows detects the problem, a dialog will appear allowing you to manually set up the video mode according to the preset mode timing chart (refer to page 19).
