Turn off your monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on both your computer and
the monitor.
If your monitor screen remains blank after following the previous procedure, check your video
controller and computer system; your monitor is functioning properly.

Getting Help

If your monitor does not display an image, check your cable connections and refer to
"Troubleshooting" on page 22. If you experience difficulties with the quality of the displayed
image, run Auto Adjustment (see page 12) and refer to "Adjusting Your LCD Monitor" on page
8 or "Troubleshooting" on page 22.

Warm-up Time

All LCD monitors need time to become thermally stable whenever you turn on the monitor af-
ter letting the monitor be turned off for a couple of hours. Therefore, to achieve more accurate
adjustments for parameters, allow the LCD monitor to warm (be on) for at least 20 minutes
before making any screen adjustments.
