Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
The image is blurred:
Read the 
How to adjust the screen resolution on page 17 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 18 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 17 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.

bent or broken off, please contact your dealer to get necessary support.
No image can be seen:

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.
