Troubleshooting

CAUTION: This product supports multiple VGA modes. This flat-panel monitor is pre-adjusted
in the factory with standard VGA timings. Due to output timing difference among various VGA
cards in the market, you may initially experience an unstable or unclear display when a new display
mode or new VGA card is selected.
CAUTION: Display optimization can not be assured if the mode chosen is not supported in the
list.
CAUTION: If the video signal passes through an interface device when the signal is sent to the

change to a supported timing listed in "Specifications" section or replace the VGA card and then
repeat steps 1 and 2.
