it will not be used for a long period of time. This
will protect the X22 LCD MONITOR from
damage due to power surges.
• Do not attempt to repair or service the product
yourself. Opening or removing the back cover
may expose you to high voltages, the risk of
electric shock, and other hazards. If repair is
required, please contact your dealer and refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible solutions
DISPLAY IS UNCLEAR
AND UNSTABLE
THERE IS NO LCD
DISPLAY or SCREEN
SAYS NO VIDEO
MONITOR SAYS
“SIGNAL OUT OF
RANGE”
To stabilize and clarify your display, use the AUT O ADJUST function or
change the resolution to the display’s optimal setting 1680 X 1050 at
60Hz, then AUTO ADJUST.
Make sure you switched to the correct source. Check both sources to
see video is on the other source. Check your video cable. It might be
corrupt. Swap out the video cable for another one to see if the monitor
will work. Check your power plug. See if it is fully plugged in on both
the monitor and the wall.
If you have a CRT monitor, please connect the CRT monitor to the
computer and change the refresh rate down to 60Hz via your video
card’s display settings menu. After the setting of 60Hz has been
change you can then use the LCD on the computer.
If you do NOT have a CRT monitor or it’s already broken, please make
sure both the X22 monitor and your computer is turned off.
1. To change the setting go to display settings by right clicking
on your desktop with nothing selected. Choose the
PROPERTIES option.
2. Click on the SETTINGS tab, verify the resolution is NOT
higher than 1680x1050, and click on the ADVANCED
button.
3. Click on the MONITOR tab and change the refresh rate to
60Hz.
4. Click on OK 2-3 times to finalize your change.
1. Turn on the LCD and the computer.
2. While the computer is turned on, press the “F8” key on your
keyboard continuously until a selection menu appears and
select the “Safe Mode” option.
3. When you’ve entered Safe Mode please uninstall any video
card driver and monitor driver by using either the “Add /
Remove Programs” icon or going into “System
4. Properties” and manually removing anything under
“Monitors” and “Display Adapters”. After removing all the
drivers, please reboot your computer and you should be
able to see windows. Please install your monitor driver
first, then your video card driver. Please remember to
make sure your refresh rate should be at 60Hz.
SCEPTRE X22 Page29
Problem Possible solutions
I CANNOT GET THE
RESOLUTION
1680x1050
If you are using DVI, please try out VGA to see if you are able to
achieve that resolution. If your VGA can then, your video card’s DVI
cannot support widescreen resolutions.
Sometimes your video card will not read the monitor correctly and will
not allow you to achieve the resolution you want. Rebooting your
computer will solve the situation.
Y ou can also make sure your video card’s video drivers are up to date.
You can find what video card you have by clicking on START then
RUN. Type in “DXDIAG”. When the diagnostic window pops up, click
on the DISPLAY tab. The program will tell you what video chipset you
have. Copy that name then search it with an online search engine like
GOOGLE™. Find your video card company’s web address and search
for newer drivers. If updating your drivers does not work, you probably
have one of the older video cards and cannot achieve a widescreen
resolution. You’ll need to upgrade your video card to a newer one.
I DO NOT HEAR ANY
SOUND FROM THE
SPEAKERS
THE VIDEO IS TOO
BRIGHT NO MATTER
WHAT I ADJUST
THE WORDS AND
VIDEO ARE TOO
BLURRY
THE COLORS ARE
NOT CORRECT
Check your 3.5 mm mini-jack cable and see if it is connected correctly
between the computer and the monitor. Check the volume of your
computer and also the volume of the monitor.
Sometimes having older video cards this type of problem might
happen due to newer LCDs having to provide HD video capability and
not being fully compatible with older video cards. You can try
adjusting the contrast to a lower value and adjust the brightness to
compensate.
Are you using the monitor’s native resolution? If not you’ll need to
switch resolution to the native 1680x1050 at 60 Hz to make the words
clearer. If you’re using VGA please do not forget to AUTO ADJUST.
If the words are still blurry, please try enabling or disabling CLEAR
TYPE function from windows.
Sometimes the colors are not correct because your VGA or DVI cable
is loose or corrupt. Please try reconnecting your cable or swap out
your current cable to see if the problem persists.

models.

How do I clean the LCD?
IMPORTANT
1. The power cable has to be removed from the socket before cleaning
the TV.
2. Do not use volatile solvent (alcohol, rosin, and toluene) to clean the
TV. These types of chemicals might damage the housing and the
LCD glass.
Cleaning the bezel
1. Use a 100% cotton cloth or micro-fiber cloth for cleaning.
2. If the bezel is dirty to the point where you cannot simply dry wipe it,
please lightly dampen the wiping material with clean water and wipe
again. Wipe the display with a dry micro-fiber cloth or 100% cotton
cloth afterwards.
Please Note :
• Make sure you wring the water out of the cloth before
cleaning the bezel in order to prevent water from
penetrating into the electronics.
Cleaning the Screen
1. Use a 100% cotton cloth or micro-fiber cloth for cleaning.
2. The LCD screen glass is extremely fragile. Do not scrape it with any
material. Do not press or tap the screen to avoid cracking. When
the screen is dirty to the point where you cannot simply dry wipe it,
please lightly dampen the wiping material with clean water and wipe
again. Wipe the display with a dry micro-fiber cloth or 100% cotton
