Cannot Display This Video Mode
Optimum resolution 1440 x 900 60Hz
This means that the monitor cannot synchronize with the signal that it is receiving from the computer. Either the
signal is too high or too low for the monitor to use. See Specifications for the Horizontal and Vertical frequency
ranges addressable by this monitor. Recommended mode is 1440 X 900 @ 60Hz.

video signal.
Occasionally, no warning message appears, but the screen is blank. This could also indicate that the monitor is
not synchronizing with the computer. See Troubleshooting for more information.

4.5 Definition of Pixel Defects
4.5.1 Inspection environment conditions:
◆ Room temperature: 20 ~ 25 C
◆ Humidity: 65 ± 5% RH.
◆ Illumination: Fluorescent light (Day-Light Type) display surface illumination to be 300 ~ 700 Lux. (standard
500Lux.)
◆ To be a distance about 35±5 cm in front of LCD unit, viewing line should be perpendicular to the surface of the
module judge the visual appearance with human’s eyes. (Stand up the panel for judge and ±30° viewing edge
will be allowed)
◆ Take off the protection film of polarizer while judging the display area.
◆ If there is any question while judging, check the panel again in operating mode.
4.5.2. Display Defect Requirements
1. Max. 0 red, green or blue bright dots (sub-pixels), max. 0 green dots, max. 0 joined bright dot.
2. Max. 4 black dots. Max. 2 joined (2 adjacent) black dots, no defect with 3 adjacent black dots. Min. distance
between 2 black dots: 10mm.Black dots are tested with full screen white (R.G.B. = 100,100,100)/ red (R.G.B. =
