Problems and  
Solutions  
1. Self-Test Feature Check  
Q & A  
Your monitor provides a self test feature that allows you to check whether your monitor is functioning properly.  
1. Turn off both your computer and the monitor.  
2. Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer.  
3. Turn on the monitor.  
The figure shown below ("Check Signal Cable") appears on a black background when the monitor is in its  
normal working condition though it does not sense any video signal: While in the Self-Test mode, the LED  
power indicator remains green and the figure moves around on the screen.  
Failure of any of the boxes to appear indicates a problem with your monitor. This box also appears during  
normal operation if the video cable becomes disconnected or damaged.  
4. Turn off your monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on both your computer and the monitor.  
If your monitor screen remains blank after using the previous procedure, check your video controller and computer  
system; your monitor is functioning properly.  
2. Video mode not supported  
This indicates the display resolution or refresh rate is not properly set on your computer video card. Reboot the  
computer in Safe Mode and select "Default" in the "Refresh Rate Unknown" box while setting Adapter for Display  
Properties.  
Contact the computer dealer or manufacturer for information on Safe Mode Booting.  
Refer to Specifications > Preset Timing Modes for the resolutions or frequencies that are supported by the  
monitor.  
Sometimes the screen turns black without the “Video mode not supported” message appearing on the screen. This  
indicates the monitor is set for a frequency out of range or the PowerSaver mode is on.  
3. Display Adapter Driver  
Display adapter refers to the computer video card driver. If the adapter is not properly set, you cannot adjust  
resolution, frequency or color and you cannot install the monitor driver.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
1. Checking Adapter Driver  
Click Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Display --> Settings --> Advanced --> Adapter.  
If "Default" or a wrong product model is indicated, it means that the adapter driver is not properly installed.  
Install the adapter driver again according to the information provided by the computer or video card  
manufacturers.  
2. Installing Adapter Driver  
The instructions given below are for general circumstances. For specific issues, contact the relevant  
computer or video card manufacturers.  
1) Click Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Display --> Settings --> Advanced --> Adapter --> Update  
Driver --> Next --> Display a list of the known drivers for this device so that I can choose a specific  
driver --> Next -> Have Disk (Insert Video Card Driver diskette) -> OK -> Next -> Next -> Finish.  
2) In case you have Adapter Driver Setup file on your computer:  
Run Setup.exe or Install.exe, which is found in the Adapter Driver Setup file.  
4. For Better Display  
1. Selecting Resolution and Color  
If the monitor resolution or color is not properly set, the screen may show blurred images or mosaic patterns.  
Procedures for setting frequency in the Control Panel may vary depending on the video card.  
Setting Color & Resolution >>  
Click Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Display --> Settings --> Colors & Screen area --> Apply -->  
OK.  
You can get the best image quality by selecting resolution depending on the monitor screen size as  
follows:  
• 15 inch monitor : 1024 x 768 @60Hz  
• 17 inch monitor : 1280 x 1024 @60Hz  
Select 16 or 24 bit color.  
• Supported or not subject to the video card (the monitor is irrelevant)  
• LCD monitors may display up to 16.77 million colors (24 bits).  
2. Setting Refresh Rate  
If the monitor refresh rate is not properly set, the screen image may be skewed or noise patterns will appear.  
You can enjoy the best screen image when the refresh rate is set to 60 Hz.  
Setting Refresh Rate >>  
Click Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Display --> Settings --> Advanced --> Refresh Rate --> Apply --  
> Yes --> OK --> Yes.  
3. Activate the AUTO ADJUSTMENT feature for better picture quality. If the noise persists even after AUTO  
ADJUSTMENT, adjust the screen settings using FINE/COARSE tuning buttons.

English > Main > Specifications > PowerSaver  
This monitor has a built-in power management system called PowerSaver. This system saves energy by  
switching your monitor into a low-power mode when it has not been used for a certain amount of time. The  
monitor automatically returns to normal operation when you move the computer's mouse or press a key on the  
keyboard. For energy conservation, turn your monitor OFF when it is not needed, or when leaving it unattended  
for long periods. The PowerSaver system operates with a VESA DPMS compliant video card installed in your  
computer. Use a software utility installed on your computer to set up this feature.

Sync Signal  
Sync (Synchronized) Signals refer to the standard signals that are required to display desired colors on the  
monitor. They are divided into Vertical and Horizontal Sync Signals. These signals display normal color images by  
the set resolution and frequency.  
Service Center  
Terms  
Types of Sync Signals  
Separate  
This is a scheme of transmitting individual vertical sync signals to the monitor.  
Regulatory  
Natural Color  
Authority  
Composite  
This is a scheme of combining vertical sync signals into one composite signal and  
transmitting it to the monitor. The monitor displays the color signals by separating the  
composite signal into original color signals.  
This scheme does not use sync signals. Instead, it combines horizontal and vertical  
sync signals into a Green signal and transmits to the monitor. It is mainly used for  
workstations.  
Sync On Green  
Dot Pitch  
The image on a monitor is composed of red, green and blue dots. The closer the dots, the higher the resolution.  
The distance between two dots of the same color is called the 'Dot Pitch'. Unit: mm  
Vertical Frequency  
The screen must be redrawn several times per second in order to create and display an image for the user. The  
frequency of this repetition per second is called Vertical Frequency or Refresh Rate. Unit: Hz  
Example: If the same light repeats itself 60 times per second, this is regarded as 60 Hz. In this case, flickering of  
the screen can be detected. To avoid this problem, there is a Flicker-free Mode using a vertical  
frequency over 70 Hz.  
Horizontal Frequency  
The time to scan one line connecting the right edge to the left edge of the screen horizontally is called Horizontal  
Cycle. The inverse number of the Horizontal Cycle is called Horizontal Frequency. Unit: kHz  
Interlace and Non-Interlace Methods  
Showing the horizontal lines of the screen from the top to the bottom in order is called the Non-Interlace method  
while showing odd lines and then even lines in turn is called the Interlace method. The Non-Interlace method is  
used for the majority of monitors to ensure a clear image. The Interlace method is the same as that used in TVs.  
Plug & Play  
This is a function that provides the best quality screen for the user by allowing the computer and the monitor to  
exchange information automatically. This monitor follows the international standard VESA DDC for the Plug &  
Play function.  
Resolution  
The number of horizontal and vertical dots used to compose the screen image is called 'resolution'. This number  
shows the accuracy of the display. High resolution is good for performing multiple tasks as more image  
information can be shown on the screen.  
Example: If the resolution is 1024 X 768, this means the screen is composed of 1024 horizontal dots (horizontal  
resolution) and 768 vertical lines (vertical resolution).

AB general requirements  
AB2 Written Eco-document acompanying the products  
Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO'95 approved and labelled product! Your choice has  
provided you with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to  
reducing the burden on the environment and to the further development of environmentally-adapted  
electronic products.  
Why do we have environmentally-labelled monitors?  
In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method for encouraging the  
adaptation of goods and services to the environment.The main problem as far as monitors and other  
electronic equipment are concerned is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the  
products and during their manufacture. Since it has not been possible so far for the majority of electronic  
equipment to be recycled in a satisfactory way, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or  
later enter Nature.  
There are also other characteristics of a monitor, such as energy consumption levels, that are important  
from both the working and natural environment viewpoints. Since all types of conventional electricity  
generation have a negative effect on the environment (acidic and climate-influencing emissions,  
radioactive waste, etc.) it is vital to conserve energy. Electronic equipment in offices consumes an  
enormous amount of energy, since it is often routinely left running continuously.  
What does labelling involve?  
This product meets the requirements for the TCO'95 scheme, which provides for international  
environmental labelling of monitors. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The  
Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for  
Nature Conservation) and NUTEK (The National Board for Industrial and Technical Development in  
Sweden).  
The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of electrical  
and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.  
The environmental demands concern among other things restrictions on the presence and use of heavy  
metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons), and chlorinated solvents. The  
product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental plan,  
which must be adhered to in each country where the company conducts its operations policy. The energy  
requirements include a demand that the monitor after a certain period of inactivity shall reduce its power  
consumption to a lower level, in one or more stages. The length of time to reactivate the monitor shall be

reasonable for the user.  
Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example in respect of the reduction of  
electric and magnetic fields, along with physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.

Environmental Requirements  
Brominated flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. In  
turn, they delay the spread of fire. Up to thirty percent of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of  
flame retardant substances. These are related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs, which are  
suspected to give rise to similar harm, including reproductive damage in fish eating birds and mammals,  
due to the bioaccumulative processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and  
researchers fear that disturbances in foetus development may occur.  
z
TCO'95 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain  
organically bound chlorine and bromine.  
Lead  
Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous  
system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning.  
z
TCO'95 requirement Permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.  
Cadmium  
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour generating layers of certain computer  
displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.  
z
TCO'95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million) of  
cadmium. The colour-generating layers of display screens must not contain any cadmium.  
Mercury  
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. Mercury damages the nervous system and  
is toxic in high doses.  
z
TCO'95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million) of  
mercury. It also demands that no mercury is present in any of the electrical or electronics components  
concerned with the display unit.  
CFCs (freons)  
CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards and in the manufacturing of  
expanded foam for packaging. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the  
stratosphere, causing increased reception on Earth of ultraviolet light with consequent increased risks of  
skin cancer (malignant melanoma).

The relevant TCO'95 requirement: Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacturing of  
the product or its packaging.  
TCO'99-Ecological requirements for personal computers (TCO applied model only)  
Congratulations!  
You have just purchased a TCO'99 approved and labelled product! Your choice has provided you with a  
product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the burden on the  
environment and also to the further development of environmentally adapted electronics products.  
This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which provides for an international  
environmental and quality labelling labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed  
as a joint effort by the TCO(The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska  
Naturskyddsforeningen(The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation), Statens Energimyndighet(The  
Swedish National Energy Administration) and SEMKO AB.  
The requirements cover a wide range of issuse: environment, ergonomics, usability, reduction of electric  
and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical safety.

Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?  
In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method for encouraging the  
adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The main problem, as far as computers and other  
electronics equipment are concerned, is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the  
products and during their manufacture. Since it is not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of  
electronics equipment, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter nature.  
There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are important  
from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Since all methods of  
electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (e.g. acidic and climate-influencing  
emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often left  
running continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.  
What does labelling involve?  
The environmental demands has been developed by Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish  
Society for Nature Conservation). These demands impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy  
metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs(freons)and chlorinated solvents, among other  
things. The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an  
environmental policy which must be adhered to in each country where the company implements its  
operational policy.  
The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or display, after a certain period of  
inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more stages. The length of time to  
reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user.  
Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product. The complete  
environmental criteria document may be ordered from:

Environmental requirements  
Flame retardants  
Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. Their purpose  
is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing can  
consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride, and those flame  
retardants are chemically related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame  
retardants containing bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to severe health  
effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative*  
processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in  
foetus development may occur.  
The relevant TCO'99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not  
contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the  
printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.  
Cadmium**  
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating layers of certain computer  
displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO'99  
requirement states that batteries, the colour-generating layers of display screens and the electrical or  
electronics components must not contain any cadmium.  
Mercury**  
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system and is toxic  
in high doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury. It also  
demands that mercury is not present in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the  
labelled unit. There is however one exception. Mercury is, for the time being, permitted in the back light  
system of flat panel monitors as today there is no commercially available alternative. TCO aims on  
removing this exception when a Mercury free alternative is available.  
CFCs (freons)  
The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the  
manufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit  
boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing  
increased reception on earth of ultraviolet light with e.g. increased risks of skin cancer (malignant  
melanoma) as a consequence.  
Lead**  
Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous  
system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. The relevant TCO'99 requirement permits the  
inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.  
* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms.  
** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.
