Using The Display
Turning the Display On and Off
Use the power button located at the lower right side of the front panel to turn the display on and off.
When the display is on, the LED near the Power button is illuminated. The indicator will illuminate
green when the display is active and amber when the display is in reduced power mode. (PC only)
Note: For PC use only.
If the PC supplies power saving signals to the display, the display’s power management features
reduce power consumption to low levels when the PC goes into its power-saving mode. See
“ Minimizing Power Consumption “ on page 9 for more information.
If the PC doesn’t use industry standard power-save signaling techniques, power consumption can be
reduced by turning off the display when not in use.
Note: Because of the technology used in LCD panels, screen savers will not prolong the life of
the display. So if the display will not be used for an extended period, ensure it is switched
off.
To completely disconnect power from the display,
you must remove the power cord from the wall outlet
and then remove the power cable from the disp

Setting the Video Mode (PC only)
WWW.MANUALS.WS
Since the inherent format of this display is 1024 pixels by 768 lines for 15” monitor and 1280 pixels
by 1024 lines for 17” monitor, the display will perform best when a PC is set to a screen resolution
of 1024 x 768 for 15” monitor and 1280 x 1024 for 17” monitor. If using a lower resolution (such as
640 x 480), the image is expanded to fill the screen.
The display supports many common video modes, as shown in “ Video Modes “ on page 21 Check
the documentation supplied with the PC and video adapter card to find out which modes they
support.
To check the video mode of the PC, please check the Windows’ settings feature.
Setting the Refresh Rate (PC only)
The image refresh rate is the number of times per second that the image is refreshed; it is also
known as the vertical frequency.
On standard CRT displays, the highest possible refresh rate supported by your PC at the current
screen resolution should be used. This is necessary to avoid screen flickering and to minimize
eyestrain. However, with an LCD Monitor, flicker is not an issue. It is flicker-free at all supported
refresh rates.
The table in “ Video Mode “ on page 21 shows the image refresh rates supported by the display at
different screen resolution. Although this LCD monitor supports up to 75 Hz for analogue video
input, we recommend that is used at 75 Hz refresh rate for best performance.
To set the refresh rate with standard Windows installation, follow the steps mentioned in the
Windows’ or graphic card’s user’s manual.
Minimizing Power Consumption (PC only)
Many PCs support industry standard power-save signaling techniques. Power management features
reduce the display’s power consumption after a period of keyboard inactivity.
When the display is in a power-saving mode, the screen is blank and the power indicator is amber.
Pressing a key on the keyboard or moving the mouse restores the image in several seconds. Consult
the PC documentation for information about setting the power-saving modes.
The display accepts the signals for the three standard power-saving modes―Standby, Suspend, and
Sleep. For any of these conditions, the display will go into Sleep mode.

Caring for and Cleaning the Display
g
WWW.MANUALS.WS
To maximize screen life and prevent damage to the LCD panel, we recommend to:
Use the display power management system (if available on the PC).
If a power management system is not used, turn off the display when it won’t be used for an
extended period.
Don’t press, rub, or poke the display with fingers or other objects.
Handle the display with care.
The LCD module is a high-quality optical device that requires special care when cleaning.
To clean the screen:
1. Turn off and unplug the display.
2. Gently dust the screen with a dry, soft, line-free cloth.
Note: If the screen is still dirty, a dampened cloth with several drops of distilled water can be used.
Make sure the LCD panel is completely dry before turning back on.
Don’t use liquid, aerosol, or abrasive cleanin
solutions to clean the screen.

1. Make sure the power cable is securely plugged into the display.
2. Make sure the display is turned on.
3. Try turning the display off and then turning it on again.
4. Make sure the display’s power cord is plugged into a power outlet and into the AC power
adapter. Check to see whether the outlet works by plugging another device (such as a lamp)
into the outlet. (If the LED on the front of the display is illuminated, it is getting power. Try
the Next item in the list.)
5. Check the cable connection between the display and the computer. The cable connectors
must be pushed in all the way.
B. The message “ No Sync “ appears on my display.
This message appears when there is no video signal from the computer with cable already
connected.
1. Make sure that the computer’s power is turned on.
2. Make sure that your graphic card has its output already.
C. The message “ Signal out of Range “ appears on my display.
This message appears when the input signal is beyond the display’s capability.
Set your PC to a supported video mode, preferably 1024 x 768 at 75Hz. See “Setting the Video
Mode“ on page 21
D. The image is very unstable.
1. Set your PC to a supported video mode, preferably 1024 x 768 at 60 Hz. See “ Setting the
Video Mode “ on page 9
2. Restore the original factory settings by choosing Factory Reset in the OSD
“Colour“ submenu.

Like all other monitors, this LCD monitor is designed to work with standard video modes. However,
not all video/graphic cards use only standard display modes.
This LCD monitor uses state-of-the-art technology, which is designed to synchronize to any display
mode. We recommend choosing one of the supported modes listed above. If you choose an
unknown mode, you will need to manually adjust the clock, phase, and image position.
If you must use an unknown mode, you can run Auto Setup at first. If Auto Setup doesn't provide
adequate image adjustment, then you must manually adjust the clock, phase, horizontal position,
