Useful Tips
z A monitor recreates visual signals received from the computer. Therefore, if there is trouble with
the computer or the video card, this can cause the monitor to become blank, have poor coloring,
noise, unavailable video mode, etc. In this case, first check the source of the problem, and then
contact a service center or your dealer.
