• 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.

 

•

Try turning the monitor 90° to the left or right.

xProblems caused by the connected computer or other equipment

•Check your graphics board manual for the proper monitor setting.

•Confirm that the graphics mode and the frequency of the input signal are supported by this monitor (page 20). 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.

•Adjust the computer’s refresh rate (vertical frequency) to obtain the best possible picture.

Picture is fuzzy

• Adjust the contrast and brightness (page 8).

•Degauss the monitor* (page 11).

•Adjust the degree of moire cancellation until the moire is minimal, or set CANCEL MOIRE to OFF (page 11).

*If a second degauss cycle is needed, allow a minimum interval of 20 minutes for the best result. A humming noise may be heard, but this is not a malfunction.
