Instructions or information to resolve the problem appears on the screen. An explanation of each menu item is given below.

RECOMMENDED RESOLUTION

If the picture does not fill the screen to the edges or if the picture appears too large for the screen, adjust the resolution to the figures shown in the OSD using your computer. If the input signal matches one of this monitor’s factory preset modes, the resolution and refresh rate of the current input signal are displayed.

FLICKER

If the picture is flickering, adjust the refresh rate to figures shown in the OSD. If the input signal matches one of this monitor’s factory preset modes, the refresh rate of the current input signal is displayed.

THIN HORIZONTAL LINE

The lines that appear on your screen are damper wires. See page 16 for more information about the damper wires.

DISTORTED SHAPE

If the shape of the picture on the screen seems distorted, try adjusting the picture’s geometry. Press the /button to jump directly to the GEOMETRY OSD.

OUT OF FOCUS

The picture may seem to be out of focus when the red and blue color signals are not aligned properly, causing red or blue shadows to appear around letters and lines. Try adjusting the picture’s convergence to make the shadows disappear. Press the /button to jump directly to the CONVERGENCE OSD. When the CONVERGENCE OSD is displayed, the contrast, brightness, and moire adjustment settings are automatically reset for all input signals.

DISCOLORATION

If the picture’s color appears abnormal in certain areas of the screen, first check for any loose signal cables. After you have checked the cables, try degaussing (demagnetizing) the screen manually. Press the /button to jump directly to the OPTION OSD, then select (DEGAUSS).

Press the button once to return to the MENU OSD, and twice to return to normal viewing. If no buttons are pressed, the OSD closes automatically after about 30 seconds.
