•
Check this manual and confirm that the graphics mode and the frequency you are
trying to operate at is supported. Even if the frequency is within the proper range,
some video boards may have a sync pulse that is too narrow for the monitor to sync
correctly.
Color is not uniform • Degauss the monitor (page 13).
If you place equipment which generates a magnetic field, such as a loudspeaker, near
the monitor, or you change the direction of the monitor, color may lose uniformity.
The degauss function demagnetizes the metal frame of the CRT to obtain a neutral
field for uniform color reproduction. If a second degauss cycle is needed, allow a
minimum interval of 20 minutes for the best result.
You cannot adjust the
monitor with the buttons on
the front panel
•
If the control lock function is set to on, set it to off using the OPTION OSD (page 14).
