Notes
• Before using this feature, the monitor must be in normal
operation mode (green power indicator on) for at least 30
minutes. If the monitor goes into power saving mode, you must
return the monitor to normal operation mode and wait for 30
minutes for the monitor to be ready.
You may need to adjust your computer’s power saving settings
to keep the monitor in normal operation mode for the full 30
minutes. If the monitor is not ready, the following message will
appear.
• The monitor may gradually lose its ability to perform this
function due to the natural aging of the picture tube.

RECOMMENDED RESOLUTION
If the picture does not fill the screen to the edges or if the
picture appears too large for the screen, adjust the
resolution to the figures shown in the OSD using your
computer. If the input signal matches one of this monitor’s
factory preset modes, the resolution and refresh rate of the
current input signal are displayed.
FLICKER
If the picture is flickering, adjust the refresh rate to figures
shown in the OSD. If the input signal matches one of this
monitor’s factory preset modes, the refresh rate of the
current input signal is displayed.
THIN HORIZONTAL LINE
The lines that appear on your screen are damper wires. See
page 16 for more information about the damper wires.
DISTORTED SHAPE
If the shape of the picture on the screen seems distorted, try
adjusting the picture’s geometry. Press the / button to
jump directly to the GEOMETRY OSD.
OUT OF FOCUS
The picture may seem to be out of focus when the red and
blue color signals are not aligned properly, causing red or
blue shadows to appear around letters and lines. Try
adjusting the picture’s convergence to make the shadows
disappear. Press the / button to jump directly to the
CONVERGENCE OSD. When the CONVERGENCE OSD is
displayed, the contrast, brightness, and moire adjustment
settings are automatically reset for all input signals.
DISCOLORATION
If the picture’s color appears abnormal in certain areas of
the screen, first check for any loose signal cables. After you
have checked the cables, try degaussing (demagnetizing)
the screen manually. Press the / button to jump directly to
the OPTION OSD, then select (DEGAUSS).
Press the button once to return to the MENU OSD, and
twice to return to normal viewing. If no buttons are pressed,
the OSD closes automatically after about 30 seconds.
