Signal Cable" on the screen?

If the power is on, reboot the computer to see the initial screen (the login screen), which can be seen.

Can you see "Not

Solutions

Check the power cord connection and supply.

(When connecting D-sub cable)

Check the signal cable connection.

(When connecting DVI cable)

If you still see an error message on the screen when the monitor is connected properly, check to see if the monitor status is set to analog.

Press 'SOURCE' button to have the monitor double-check the input signal source.

If the initial screen (the login screen) appears, boot the computer in the applicable mode (the safe mode for Windows ME/XP/2000) and then change the frequency of the video card.

(Refer to the Preset Timing Modes)

Note: If the initial screen (the login screen) does not appear, contact a service center or your dealer.

You can see this message when the signal from the video card exceeds the maximum resolution and frequency that the monitor can properly handle.

Adjust the maximum resolution and frequency that the monitor can handle properly.

If the display exceeds WSXGA or 75 Hz (In case of WSXGA , 60 Hz), a "Not Optimum Mode", "Recommended Mode 1680 X 1050 60 Hz" message is displayed. If the display exceeds 85 Hz, the display will work properly but the "Not

Optimum Mode", "Recommended Mode 1680 X 1050 60 Hz" message appears for one minute and then disappears. Please change to the recommended mode during this one-minute period. (The message is displayed again if the system is rebooted.)
