Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
The image is blurred:
Read the 
How to adjust the screen resolution on page 22 section, and then select the correct 
resolution, refresh rate and make adjustments based on these instructions.
How do you use a VGA extension cable?
Remove the extension cable for the test. Is the image now in focus? If not, optimize the image by 
working through the instructions in the 
How to adjust the screen refresh rate on page 23 section It 
is normal for blurring to occur due to conduction losses in extension cables. You can minimize 
these losses by using an extension cable with better conduction quality or with a built-in booster.
Does the blurring only occur at resolutions lower than the native (maximum) resolution?
Read the How to adjust the screen resolution on page 22 section. Select the native resolution.
Pixel errors can be seen:
One of several pixels is permanently black, one or more pixels are permanently white, one or 
more pixels are permanently red, green, blue or another color.
•  Clean the LCD screen.
•  Cycle power on-off.
•  These are pixels that are permanently on or off and is a natural defect that occurs in LCD 
technology.
The image has a faulty coloration:
It has a yellow, blue or pink appearance.
Select MENU > PICTURE > Color > Reset Color, and then choose “Yes” in the “Caution” message 
box to reset the color settings to the factory defaults. 
If the image is still not correct and the OSD also has faulty coloration, this means one of the three 
primary colors is missing in the signal input. Now check the signal cable connectors. If any pin is 
bent or broken off, please contact your dealer to get necessary support.
No image can be seen:
Is the prompt on the display illuminated in green?
If the LED is illuminated in green and there is a message “Out of Range” on the screen, this means 
you are using a display mode that this monitor does not support, please change the setting to one 
of the supported mode. Please read “
Supported PC Timings on page 48” section. Recommended 
mode is 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz.
Faint shadow from the static image displayed is visible on the screen:
•Activate the power management function to let your computer and monitor go into a low power 
sleep mode when not actively in use.
•Use a screensaver to prevent the occurrence of image retention.
Is the prompt on the display illuminated in orange?
 
						

							  47   Troubleshooting
If the LED is illuminated in orange, the power management mode is active. Press any key on the 
computer keyboard or move the mouse. If that does not help, check the signal cable connectors. If 
any pin is bent or broken off, please contact your dealer to get necessary support.
Is the prompt on the display not illuminated at all?
Check the power supply mains socket, the external power supply and the mains switch.
The image is distorted, flashes or flickers:
Read the 
How to adjust the screen resolution on page 22 section and then select the correct 
resolution, refresh rate and make adjustments based on these instructions.
You are running the monitor at its native resolution, but the image is still distorted.
Images from different input sources may appear distorted or stretched on the monitor running at 
its native resolution. To have the optimal display performance of each type of input sources, you 
can use the Display Mode function to set a proper aspect ratio for the input sources. See 
Display 
Mode on page 43 
for details
The image is displaced in one direction:
Read the 
How to adjust the screen resolution on page 22 section and then select the correct 
resolution, refresh rate and make adjustments based on these instructions.
The OSD controls are inaccessible:
•To unlock the OSD controls when the OSD is preset to be locked, press and hold the “ENTER” 
key for 15 seconds to enter the “OSD Lock” option and make changes. 
•Alternatively, you may use the 
t or u keys to select “OFF” in the “OSD Lock” submenu from 
the “OSD Settings” menu (under SYSTEM), and all OSD controls will be accessible.

•Image disruption may occur as a result of signal frequency differences from graphic cards which 
do not correspond with the usual standard. This is not, however, an error. You may improve this 
situation by altering an automatic setting or by manually changing the phase setting and the pixel 
frequency from the “Display” menu.

*Response Time: The time it takes to switch a pixel off and then on and then off again (or from black to 
white and back to black). A low response time is desirable for the display of moving images without 
ghosting. The Response Time quoted for many LCD monitors is specific to transitions from black to white 
and back again, it does not specify the time required to switch between the many gray levels or colors 
that make up an image. 
*Gray to Gray or GTG Response Time: “Real world” video content contains a combination of grayscale 
images. It generally takes longer for a pixel to transition to an intermediate level of intensity (i.e. a gray or 
color level) than it does for it to turn completely black or completely white. For example the “Gray to Gray 
response time” of an LCD panel may generally be 30 to 40 ms while the “Response Time” is 12 ms.
*MPRT: Motion Picture Response Time.
*BenQs PerfectMotion technology is introduced to well prevent you from ghosting or motion blur effects 
while viewing fast moving objects on your LCD monitor. The solution to such a problem can be explored 
from two aspects, one is from the LCD technology itself, and the other is from human visual perception. 
As the combination of AMA (Advanced Motion Acceleration) technology and Black Frame Insertion 
technology, PerfectMotion is not only in pursuit of achieving faster gray-to-gray response time so the 
faster pixel transition speed will improve the ghosting effect, but by adopting the use of Black Frame 
Insertion technology, the visual effect of motion blur resulted from human eyes spatial-temporal 
integration can also be effectively eliminated, thus clearer motion pictures will be displayed on the 
monitor. 
When the PerfectMotion function is activated, the displayed motion pictures will be enhanced by insertion 
of multiple black frames between frames. 
*DDC/CI, short for Display Data Channel/Command Interface, which was developed by Video Electronics 
Standards Association (VESA). DDC/CI capability allows monitor controls to be sent via the software for 
remote diagnostics.
