Troubleshooting
No picture• The signal cable should be completely connected to the display card/comp\
uter.
• The monitor does not support DisplayPort converter signal.
• The display card should be completely seated in its slot.
• Front Power Switch and computer power switch should be in the ON positio\
n.
• Check to make sure that a supported mode has been selected on the displa\
y card or system being used.(Please consult display card or system manual to change graphics mode.)\
• Check the monitor and your display card with respect to compatibility an\
d recommended settings.
• Check the signal cable connector for bent or pushed-in pins.
• If the front LED is dark blue, check the status of the IPM mode (see pa\
ge 12) or Human sensor (see page 11).
Power Key does not respond • Unplug the power cord of the monitor from the AC outlet to turn off and reset the monitor.
• When something is stuck on the bezel, key becomes unresponsive.
Image Persistence • Please be aware that LCD Technology may experience a phenomenon known as Image Persistence. ImagePersistence occurs when a residual or “ghost” image of a previous \
image remains visible on the screen. Unlike CRT
monitors, LCD monitors’ image persistence is not permanent, but const\
ant images being displayed for a long period of
time should be avoided. To alleviate image persistence, turn off the monitor for as long as the previous image was
displayed. For example, if an image was on the monitor for one hour and \
a residual image remains, the monitor should
be turned off for one hour to erase the image.
NOTE: As with all personal display devices, NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS recommends displaying moving images and
using a moving screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is \
idle or turning off the monitor when not in
use.
Message “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed (screen is either blank or sh\
ows rough images only) • Image is displayed only roughly (pixels are missing) and OSD warning “\
OUT OF RANGE” is displayed: Either signalclock or resolution is too high. Choose one of the supported modes.
• OSD warning “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed on a blank screen: Signal \
frequency is out of range. Choose one of the supported modes.
Image is unstable, unfocused or swimming is apparent • Signal cable should be completely attached to the computer.
• Use the OSD Image Adjust controls to focus and adjust display by increasing or decreasing \
the fine total. When thedisplay mode is changed, the OSD Image Adjust settings may need to be re-adjusted.
• Check the monitor and your display card with respect to compatibility an\
d recommended signal timings.
• If your text is garbled, change the video mode to non-interlace and use \
60Hz refresh rate.
LED on monitor is not lit (no blue or amber colour can be seen) • Power Switch should be in the ON position, Power cord and AC adapter should be connected.
• Increase LED BRIGHTNESS adjustment.
Picture is not as bright • Make sure ECO MODE and AUTO BRIGHTNESS are turned off.
• If the brightness fluctuates make sure AUTO BRIGHTNESS is turned off.
• Signal cable should be completely attached.
Display image is not sized properly • Use the OSD Image Adjust controls to increase or decrease the H. SIZE.
• Check to make sure that a supported mode has been selected on the displa\
y card or system being used.(Please consult display card or system manual to change graphics mode.)\
No Video • Make certain the computer is not in a power-saving mode (touch the keyb\
oard or mouse).
• Some video cards do not output video signal when monitor is turned OFF/O\
N or disconnect/connect from the ACpower cord under low resolution with DisplayPort.
Brightness difference during multiple monitor usage • Change Auto Brightness to OFF and adjust brightness.
NOTE: When Auto Brightness is set to ON, the monitor automatically adjusts brightne\
ss to the environment.
When condition is difference, monitor brightness will be difference.

Using the Auto Brightness function
The brightness of the LCD screen can be set to increase or decrease depe\
nding on the amount of ambient light within the
room. If the room is bright, the monitor becomes correspondingly bright.\
 If the room is dim, then the monitor will dim
accordingly. The purpose of this function is to make the viewing experience more comf\
ortable to the eye in a variety of lighting
conditions.
The Auto Brightness function is set to 1 by default.
SETUP
Use the following procedures to select the Brightness Range that the mon\
itor will use when the Auto Brightness function is
activated.
1. Set the BRIGHTNESS level. This is the brightness level that the monitor will go up to when the amb\
ient light level is highest. Select this setting when the room is at its brightest.
Select “1” or “3” in the AUTO BRIGHTNESS menu ( Figure 1). Then use the front Keys to move the cursor up to the
BRIGHTNESS setting. Choose the desired brightness level ( Figure 2).
2. Set the DARK level. This is the level of brightness that the monitor will go down to when th\
e ambient light level is low. Make sure the room is at its darkest when setting this level.
Then use the front Keys to move the cursor up to the BRIGHTNESS setting.\
 Choose the desired brightness level
(Figure 3 ).
