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 12) and refer to "Adjusting Your LCD Monitor" on page 8 or "Troubleshooting" on page 20.

Warm-up Time

All LCD monitors need time to become thermally stable whenever you turn on the monitor after 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.
