Adjust the pitch and phase (analog RGB signal only) (page 13).

Isolate and eliminate any potential sources of electric or magnetic fields such as other monitors, laser printers, electric fans, fluorescent lighting, or televisions.

Move the monitor away from power lines or place a magnetic shield near the monitor.

Try plugging the monitor into a different AC outlet, preferably on a different circuit.

Change the orientation of the monitor.

xProblem caused by a connected computer or other equipment, and not caused by the monitor

Check your graphics board manual for the proper monitor setting.

Confirm that the graphics mode (VESA, Macintosh 19'' Color, etc.) and the frequency of the input signal are supported by this monitor. Even if the frequency is within the proper range, some graphics boards may have a sync pulse that is too narrow for the monitor to sync correctly.

This monitor does not process the interlace signals. Set for progressive signals.

Adjust the computer’s refresh rate (vertical frequency) to obtain the best possible picture (60 Hz is recommended).
