Getting Help
If your monitor does not display an image, check your cable connections and refer to
“Troubleshooting” on page 20. If you experience difficulties with the quality of the displayed image, run Auto Adjustment (see page 11) and refer to “Adjusting Your LCD” on page 10 or “Troubleshooting” on page 20.
Warm-up Time
All LCD monitors need time to become thermally stable the first time you turn them on each day. 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.
