OSD Warning Messagess

When the monitor does not support a particular resolution mode you will see the following message :

Analog Input OUT OF RANGE SIGNAL CANNOT DISPLAY THIS VIDEO MODE, CHANGE COMPUTER DISPLAY INPUT TO 1926 X 1230 @ 60Hz OF Digital Input OUT OF RANGE SIGNAL CANNOT DISPLAY THIS VIDEO MODE, CHANGE COMPUTER DISPLAY INPUT TO 2500 X 1600 @ 60Hz

This means that the monitor cannot synchronize with the signal that it is receiving from the computer. See Monitor Specifications for the Horizontal and Vertical frequency ranges addressable by this monitor. For analog input, it is recommended to use the resolution 1920 x 1200. For digital input, it is recommended to use the resolution 2560 x 1600.

If you press any button other than the power button one of the following messages will appear depending on the selected input:

VGA/DVI-D input

HDMI : NO INPUT S-VIDEO : NO INPUT or COMPOSITE : NO INPUT COMPONENT : NO INPUT

In Picture by Picture (PBP) mode, when the monitor does not sense the selected signal input, one of the following messages will appear depending upon the selected input as long as the OSD screen is closed.

1. VGA

2. DVI-D 1 / DVI-D 2

3. DisplayPort

4. HDMI

5. S-Video

6. Composite

7. Component

If either VGA or DVI-D input is selected and both VGA and DVI-D cables are not connected, a floating dialog box as shown below appears.

No VGA cable

or No DVI-D cable

NOTE: When the cable is connected back to the input of the monitor, any active Picture by Picture (PBP) window will disappear. Enter Picture by Picture (PB) submenu to bring back the Picture by Picture (PBP) window.

NOTE: The Picture by Picture (PBP) function can bring up a picture from a second image source. Thus you can watch images from 1 PC source (D-Sub or DVI Source (Composite or S-video or Component). The functions will not allow for 2 Video sources to perform Picture by Picture (PBP).

See Solving Problems for more information.
