TROUBLESHOOTING 
TROUBLESHOOTING WHEN USING 3D MODE
I can see a swirling oil-like pattern on the monitor when the monitor is\
 turned off.
 yThis is caused by the interference of external light in the air layer be\
tween the LCD surface and 3D filter.    The pattern becomes almost invisible when you turn on the power again.
I cannot see 3D image properly
If you are not using the glasses provided with the monitor, yWhen you view 3D images with this monitor, it is very important 
that you use the glasses provided with the monitor. The glasses are 
designed to compensate optically for the 3D filter attached to the 
surface of the monitor. If you wear third-party glasses, you may not 
see 3D images properly on the monitor.
If you view 3D images outside the optimal viewing angle or distance, yThe optimal viewing angle of the monitor is 12° in vertical direction\
 
while 80° in horizontal direction; the optimal viewing distance is 
between 50 cm to 90 cm from the monitor. 
 
When you view 3D images outside the optimal viewing angle 
or viewing distance, the images may look overlapped or not be 
displayed properly in 3D.
If you have not set the resolution, yPlease set the resolution of the monitor to the maximum (1920 x 
1080 @ 60 Hz) in the display settings. The 3D software may not work 
properly if the resolution is not set to the maximum.
If the images that your left and right eyes see are reversed, yThe stripe images in the odd-numbered lines are the ones that your 
right eye sees on the monitor. If you only see the stripe images, not 
3D images, set the images for your right eye to be displayed in the 
odd-numbered lines by changing the player or viewer option of the 
3D software.
I cannot see 3D but only 2D images. yThis monitor works both in 2D and 3D mode. You can view a video in 
3D if it is made in 3D. If you try to view 2D images in 3D, they might 
not be displayed properly or you may experience poor picture quality.
If the ‘TriDef 3D’ couldn’t work properly yThe minimum system requirements on PC to run the ‘TriDef 3D’ :
 »Intel® Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual-Core CPU or better »1GB RAM »NVIDIA® GeForce® 8600 GT or ATI X1650 XT »500MB free disk space »Windows® XP (SP2) (32 bit only), Windows® Vista (32 bit only) or Windows® 7 (32 or 64 bit) »DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card »Internet connection »DVD-ROM drive »Network card »DirectX 9.0c
