xPicture flickers, bounces, oscillates, or is scrambled
•Isolate and eliminate any potential sources of electric or magnetic fields such as other monitors, laser printers, electric fans, fluorescent lighting, or televisions.
•Move the monitor away from power lines or place a magnetic shield near the monitor.
•Try plugging the monitor into a different AC outlet, preferably on a different circuit.
•Try turning the monitor 90° to the left or right.
•Check your graphics board manual for the proper monitor setting.
•Confirm that the graphics mode and the frequency of the input signal are supported by this monitor (see “Preset mode timing table” on page i). Even if the frequency is within the proper range, some graphics board may have a sync pulse that is too narrow for the monitor to sync correctly.
•Adjust the computer’s refresh rate (vertical frequency) to obtain the best possible picture.
xPicture is fuzzy
•Adjust the brightness, contrast.
•Degauss the monitor.*
•Adjust the degree of moire cancellation until the moire is minimal, or set CANCEL MOIRE to OFF.

• Adjust the geometry.
xWavy or elliptical pattern (moire) is visible
•Adjust the degree of moire cancellation until the moire is minimal.
•Change your desktop pattern.
xColor is not uniform
•Degauss the monitor.* If you place equipment that generates a magnetic field, such as a speaker, near the monitor, or if you change the direction the monitor faces, color may lose uniformity.
xWhite does not look white

•If the control lock is set to ON, set it to OFF.
xLetters and lines show red or blue shadows at the edges
•Adjust the convergence.
xA hum is heard right after the power is turned on
•This is the sound of the
turned on, the monitor is automatically degaussed for a few seconds.
*If a second degauss cycle is needed, allow a minimum interval of
20 minutes for the best result. A humming noise may be heard, but this is not a malfunction.
