CHAPTER 1
The LCD Monitor
Your new LCD Monitor!
Your LCD Monitor has been designed to be versatile, ergonomic and user-friendly.
The LCD Monitor is capable of displaying most standards, from 640 x 480 VGA to
1600 x 1200 UXGA. The digital controls located on the front panel allow the user to
easily adjust the Monitor’s display parameters. The LCD Monitor’s small footprint
allows you more room in your workspace for other peripherals. Lightweight and
compact, the LCD Monitor is the perfect solution for all type of users.
Unpacking
Before you unpack your LCD Monitor, prepare a suitable workspace for your LCD
Monitor and computer. You need a stable, level and clean surface near a wall outlet.
Even though the LCD Monitor uses very little power, you should put it in a location,
which allows sufficient airflow to ensure that the LCD Monitor and your computer
does not become too hot. Set up your LCD Monitor so that the panel doesn’t face a
window where sunlight often comes in. The glare caused by sunlight reflecting off the
LCD Monitor’s screen will make it difficult to see.
After you unpack your LCD Monitor; make sure the following items are included in
the box and in good condition:
• LCD Monitor
• AC Adapter
• Monitor-to-PC Analog signal cable (15-pin)
• Monitor-to-PC Digital signal cable (24-pin)
• Power cord
• This user’s manual
• CD Manual
• Frequently Asked Questions
• Quick Setup Guide

Connecting Video
1. Turn off your PC and the LCD Monitor before connecting your LCD Monitor
to the computer.
2. Connect one end of the VGA signal cable to the PC’s D-sub VGA port and
the other end to the monitor VGA port. Please refer to Figure 1-5.

3. If your PC has a graphic card with a 24-pin DVI connector, you may connect
it with the Digital 24-pin DVI signal cable.
4. Make sure the signal cable head is securely connected to the VGA port of
your PC. Tighten the connecting screws to ensure a secure connection.
If both analog (15-pin D-sub VGA) and digital (24-pin DVI) input ports are
connected at the same time, the signal input can be selected with the port
select button. Please go to the next chapter for details.
Power Management System
The LCD Monitor complies with the VESA DPMS (version 1.0p) power management proposal. The
VESA DPMS proposal provides four phases of power saving modes by detecting the horizontal or
vertical sync signal. When the LCD Monitor is in power saving mode or detects an incorrect timing,
the Monitor screen will go blank, and the power LED indicator will start to blink.

APPENDIX C
Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Procedures
This LCD Monitor was pre-adjusted in the factory with standard VGA timing. Due to output timing
differences among various VGA cards, you may initially experience an unstable or unclear display
when a new display mode or new VGA card is selected.
This LCD Monitor Supports Multiple VGA Modes. Refer to Addendum
for a listing of the factory preset modes supported by this LCD Monitor.
PROBLEM: Display is Unclear and Unstable
To stabilize and clarify your display, follow this procedure in this order:
1. It’s best to adjust the display on a screen displaying of vertical lines. In
Windows, load a wallpaper bitmap that has vertical lines in it. (Or you can
the select window shut down screen)
2. After you have the wallpaper loaded, open the OSD and select the “Clock”
function. Press the top (or bottom) Adjustment Control button and continue
pressing the button until you see vertical dark and light lines across the
screen.
3. When you can see distinct light and dark vertical bands, stop pressing the
Adjustment Control button. Now press the opposite (top or bottom)
Adjustment Control button. The vertical dark and light bands will decrease
in number. Keep pressing the button until the distinct bands disappear and
you have a clear display.
4. Next press the Function Control button to choose the “Phase” function. The
Phase will adjust the horizontal display. Press the top (or bottom)
Adjustment Control button and you will see horizontal dark and light lines
appear. The number of lines increases as you press the button. Now press
the bottom (or top) Adjustment Control button until the lines disappear and
you have a clear display.
18
PROBLEM: There is no LCD Display
If there is no display on the LCD, please perform the following steps:
1. Make sure that the power indicator on the LCD Monitor is lit, all
connections are secure, and the system is running on the correct
timing. Refer to the Addendum for information on timing.
2. Turn off the LCD Monitor and then turn it back on again. Press the
upper Function Control button (refer to Chapter 2) once and then
press either the upper or lower Adjustment Control button several
times. If there is still no display, press the other Adjustment Control
button several times.
3. If step 2 doesn’t work, connect your PC system to another external
CRT Monitor. If your PC System function properly with a CRT
Monitor but it does not function with the LCD Monitor and the LCD
Monitor’s power LED is blinking, the output timing of the PC’s
VGA card may be out of the LCD’s synchronous range. Please
change to an alternate mode listed in Addendum or replace the VGA
card and repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. If the PC (or Notebook PC) doesn’t function with the CRT monitor
neither, check BIOS to see if there is a Simultaneous Display setting
under the display mode item. Set the BIOS display mode to
Simultaneous Display or CRT and try again. If there is still no
display, then there may be a problem with your system. Contact
technical support.
5. If the power LED is not lit, check to see if the AC power connector
is securely connected. If the power LED is not lit, please contact
your dealer for assistance.
