About the Product

● This TFT-LCD monitor is made by precision technology. It is common to have

black spots (lack of pixels) or luminous spots on the panel. Such condition is not

a product defect or failure.

● About interfering stripes on the screen (moire pattern)

If the screen shows parallel adjoining streaks or latticed pattern in 2~3 colors, it is

called the moire pattern. It is the result of interference between luminous colors,

not a defect. When interfering stripes appear, adjust the image according to the

instructions in “When the screen shows interfering stripes/noise” to obtain optimum image quality. 【P21】

● The recommended resolution of this product is 1280×768 pixels. Some graphic

cards do not support 1280×768 pixels. In such case, set the resolution at

1024x768 pixels, press the “Full Screen” button on remote to adjust to normal

display.

● If the LCD stands still for a long duration, there might be “residual image”

phenomenon even when other images are displayed.

To avoid this problem, use the screensaver in the operating system.

If residual image phenomenon has occurred, keeping the screen in white for a

long time might correct it.

● About the “smoothing” function

In situation where Full Screen display is set, the image will be magnified when the resolution is less than 1280 ×768 pixels. At this time, the product will automatically

fill the voids with neutral colors (smoothing) to allow the display of smooth characters and graphics. As a result, the characters or graphics might look spread out or feathered. It is not a defect. Also, if the black characters against white background look blurred, adjust the contrast.【P14 , P15】

● Power saving

To cut down power consumption, the power saving function will kick in

automatically if the computer is not in use for a period of time.

Once the product is in power saving state, the power LED will change to orange

color, the image will disappear and there is no sound output. Under the standby

mode, power consumed will be reduced to less than 3W.

Examples

With Without

smoothing smoothing

To reactivate the screen, move the mouse or press any key on the keyboard.

※ Power saving mode is enabled only when it is set in the PC with built-in

DMPS(VESA) function.

● About digital connection

Digital connection to some computers, such as Macintosh may result in abnormal

display image. In such event, use analog connection.

● About images in TV/VCR mode

Some green noises might appear under the following circumstances. This is not an image quality problem.

．When TV channel does not have image playing.

．When the VCR tape is being forwarded or rewound.

Note: Viewing the screen in dark environment or for a long period of time might

cause eye fatigue. We suggest viewing the screen in properly bright environment and let your eyes rest from time to time.

About the「sRGB」option under color temperature sRGB is a mode to reproduce the standard color specifications in different

computers or monitors. The color displayed in the PC monitor is relative color. When monitor is changed, the image color changes as well. For example, the “yellow-green” might look like “yellow”, “light blue” or “green” due to the settings of the monitor. To address this problem, this LCD has built-in sRGB mode to display the color close to that of the actual image.

Solution

○

When desktop pattern has interfering stripes, follow the instructions of respective operating system to change the desktop pattern.

The screen is noise-free after adjustment, but becomes abnormal when

executing an application program (especially during video playing)

Cause In display adjustment, sometimes the set values for removing the noise are

located at two different points, while the selection of either value would have removed the noise. Because of it, noise might persist on the screen of application program after adjustment.

In such case, you need to re-select the set value for removing the noise.

Solution Enter the [Phase] option again to remove noise. It will be easier to reset the

screen to factory default state first. ※ To restore the factory default settings, select [Others] in the menu

option, then press OSD MENU. Select [Reset] in the sub-menu option, then press the + button. Please note that when the factory default settings are restored, other options including size and positions will return to the default state. In such case, reset the other items if necessary.

The result is not satisfactory after Auto Adjust.

Cause Improper screen display during adjustment.

Solution The result of adjustment is influenced by the screen display at the time of

adjustment. The best display is the screen with a pattern in 1-dot black and white lattice. Please note that in DOS screen or application screen with more black component, the result of auto adjust is usually not satisfactory.

Please do note that sometimes perfect result may not be obtained after all the adjustments due to the state of image signals (divergent signals or presence of noise).
