48 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Frequently asked questions (FAQ) The image has a faulty coloration. • The default Picture Mode is FPS1, which is designed for FPS games. If you prefer other picture modes, go to Picture Advanced and change setting in Picture Mode. • If the image has a yellow, blue or pink appearance, go to Picture and Reset Color, and then choose YES 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 not, optimize the image by working through the instructions in the Adjusting the refresh rate section on the link Adjusting the Screen Resolution. 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 instructions on the link Adjusting the Screen Resolution on the CD. 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.
