During cable connection Make sure the power of this product is off when connecting the LCD cables, antenna or VCR cables. The screen display will become messed up if the cables are connected under Power On state. 10. When not in use for a long duration Do not leave the LCD in the state of no-signal (screen pitch dark) for a long period of time. When in standby mode, the upper right corner of the screen will continue to show the display mode (S-VIDEO, VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2) and "residual image" phenomenon might occur (). If the LCD is not in use for a long duration, turn off its power. Residual image phenomenon means there is residue of previous image even when other images are displayed. 9 Connecting to TV Antenna / Cable TV and AV System 1. Remove the side cover on the back of LCD. 2. Connect antenna or Cable TV coax wire to TV-IN. 3.

It is common to have black spots (lack of pixels) or luminous spots on the panel. Such condition is not a product defect or failure. About interfering stripes on the screen (moire pattern) If the screen shows parallel adjoining streaks or latticed pattern in 2~3 colors, it is called the moire pattern. It is the result of interference between luminous colors, not a defect. When interfering stripes appear, adjust the image according to the instructions in "When the screen shows interfering stripes/noise" to obtain optimum image quality. P21 The recommended resolution of this product is 1280×768 pixels. Some graphic cards do not support 1280×768 pixels. In such case, set the resolution at 1024x768 pixels, press the "Full Screen" button on remote to adjust to normal display. If the LCD stands still for a long duration, there might be "residual image" phenomenon even when other images are displayed. To avoid this problem, use the screensaver in the operating system. If residual image phenomenon has occurred, keeping the screen in white for a long time might correct it. About the "smoothing" function In situation where Full Screen display is set, the image will be magnified when the resolution is less than 1280 ×768 pixels. At this time, the product will automatically fill the voids with neutral colors (smoothing) to allow the display of smooth characters and graphics. As a result, the characters or graphics might look spread out or feathered. It is not a defect. Also, if the black characters against white background look blurred, adjust the contrast.P14 , P15 Power saving To cut down power consumption, the power saving function will kick in automatically if the computer is not in use for a period of time. Once the product is in power saving state, the power LED will change to orange color, the image will disappear and there is no sound output. Under the standby mode, power consumed will be reduced to less than 3W. To reactivate the screen, move the mouse or press any key on the keyboard. Power saving mode is enabled only when it is set in the PC with built-in DMPS(VESA) function. Examples With smoothing A Without smoothing 11 About digital connection Digital connection to some computers, such as Macintosh may result in abnormal display image. In such event, use analog connection. About images in TV/VCR mode Some green noises might appear under the following circumstances. This is not an image quality problem. When TV channel does not have image playing. When the VCR tape is being forwarded or rewound. Note: Viewing the screen in dark environment or for a long period of time might cause eye fatigue. We suggest viewing the screen in properly bright environment and let your eyes rest from time to time. 12 Image Adjustment About OSD Use OSD function to adjust the image display.
