Troubleshooting and error codes
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Image is blurred | Read Chapter 6 (Setting the Display Resolution) and Chapter 7 (Adjusting the Monitor). Ensure correct resolution and refresh rate. Check VGA extension cable. Use native resolution if blurriness occurs at lower resolutions. |
| Image looks yellow, blue, or pink | Check for a loose VGA signal cable or connector. Inspect the VGA signal cable for damage. |
| No image is displayed | Check if the power LED is lit and green. If 'NON PRESET MODE' appears, check Chapter 6. If LED is orange, it's in power saving mode; wake the computer. Ensure the monitor is plugged in and the power switch is on. |
| Image is distorted, flashes, or flickers | Ensure the monitor's signal cable is securely connected. Check Chapter 6 and 7 for correct resolution, refresh rate, and adjustments. |
| Image is displaced in one direction | Use the 'Hor. Position' adjustment in the monitor's OSD Geometry menu. Ensure correct resolution, refresh rate, and make adjustments. |
