CHAPTER 1  
The LCD Monitor  
Your new LCD Monitor!  
Your LCD Monitor has been designed to be versatile, ergonomic and user-friendly. The LCD Monitor is capable of  
displaying most standards, from 640 x 480 VGA to 1280 x 1024 SXGA. The digital controls located on the front panel  
allow the user to easily adjust the Monitor’s display parameters. The LCD Monitor’s small footprint allows you more  
room in your workspace for other peripherals. Lightweight and compact, the LCD Monitor is the perfect solution for  
all type of users. You can use the LCD Monitor for everything from making business presentations to playing  
computer games. The two stereo speakers allow you to further expand your computer’s multimedia capabilities by  
connecting your computer’s Audio out port to the LCD Monitor’s Audio in port. If you have a complete workstation,  
the LCD Monitor has the additional feature of an optional wall mountable & VESA Compliance Arm mounted bracket  
for added convenience.  
The architecture of the LCD Monitor incorporates an LCD panel that produces a clear display without radiation  
emission, limiting health concerns. With its low power consumption, the LCD Monitor helps you reduce your power  
bill.  
Unpacking  
Before you unpack your LCD Monitor, prepare a suitable workspace for your LCD Monitor and computer. You need a  
stable, level and clean surface near a wall outlet. Even though the LCD Monitor uses very little power, you should put  
it in a location, which allows sufficient airflow to ensure that the LCD Monitor and your computer does not become too  
hot. Set up your LCD Monitor so that the panel doesn’t face a window where sunlight often comes in. The glare  
caused by sunlight reflecting off the LCD Monitor’s screen will make it difficult to see.  
Using a computer for an extended period of time with a poor workstation set-up and incorrect working  
habits can cause health problems. The science of ergonomics studies the relationship between health  
and a suitable working environment. There is a section on ergonomics at the end of this chapter. For  
more information on ergonomics, contact your nearest computer bookstore, or local library. The Internet  
also has information on this and other subjects.  
After you unpack your LCD Monitor; make sure the following items are included in the box and in good condition:  
LCD Monitor  
Monitor-to-PC Analog signal cable (15-pin)  
Monitor-to-PC Digital signal cable (24-pin)  
USB cable (optional)  
S-terminal video cable (optional)  
Stereo Jack Audio Cable  
Power cord  
This user’s manual  
If you find that any of these items are missing or appear damaged, contact your dealer immediately. Do not throw  
away the packing material or shipping carton in case you need to ship or store the LCD Monitor in the future.

User’s Manual  
Do not force the Monitor past its maximum extension in either direction. You could  
damage the Monitor and the Monitor stand.  
Positioning  
Take a moment to prepare a suitable place to set up your workstation. You need a stable flat dust-free surface with  
good ventilation. Even though the LCD Monitor has been designed using components that don’t use much power, they  
still generate quite a bit of heat. Set up your LCD Monitor so that the screen doesn’t face a window where sunlight  
often comes in. The glare caused by reflected sunlight makes the screen difficult to see.  
When positioning the equipment, make sure that the main ports and sockets are  
easily accessible.  
Do not place your LCD Monitor close to a heat source.  
Do not place the LCD Monitor in direct sunlight or near a window. Moisture and  
direct sunlight exposure can be seriously damaging.  
Connecting AC Power  
Please refer to the following instructions for connecting AC power to the LCD Monitor.  
1. Plug the female end of the power cable into the AC power connector. Plug the male end of the power cord  
into a wall socket. The plug on the power cable will vary according to the electrical standard in your area.

Troubleshooting  
Troubleshooting Procedures  
This LCD Monitor was pre-adjusted in the factory with standard VGA timing. Due to output timing differences among  
various VGA cards, you may initially experience an unstable or unclear display when a new display mode or new VGA  
card is selected.  
This LCD Monitor Supports Multiple VGA Modes. Refer to Appendix B for a listing of the factory preset  
modes supported by this LCD Monitor.  
PROBLEM: Display is Unclear and Unstable  
To stabilize and clarify your display, follow this procedure in this order:  
1. It’s best to adjust the display on a screen displaying of vertical lines. In Windows, load a  
wallpaper bitmap that has vertical lines in it. (Or you can the select window shut down screen)  
2. After you have the wallpaper loaded, open the OSD and select the “Clock” function. Press the  
top (or bottom) Adjustment Control button and continue pressing the button until you see vertical  
dark and light lines across the screen.  
3. When you can see distinct light and dark vertical bands, stop pressing the Adjustment Control  
button. Now press the opposite (top or bottom) Adjustment Control button. The vertical dark  
and light bands will decrease in number. Keep pressing the button until the distinct bands  
disappear and you have a clear display.  
4. Next press the Function Control button to choose the “Phase” function. The Phase will adjust the  
horizontal display. Press the top (or bottom) Adjustment Control button and you will see  
horizontal dark and light lines appear. The number of lines increases as you press the button.  
Now press the bottom (or top) Adjustment Control button until the lines disappear and you have  
a clear display.  
PROBLEM: There is no LCD Display  
If there is no display on the LCD, please perform the following steps:  
1. Make sure that the power indicator on the LCD Monitor is lit, all connections are secure, and the  
system is running on the correct timing. Refer to the Appendix B for information on timing.  
2. Turn off the LCD Monitor and then turn it back on again. Press the upper Function Control  
button (refer to Chapter 2) once and then press either the upper or lower Adjustment Control  
button several times. If there is still no display, press the other Adjustment Control button  
several times.  
3. If step 2 doesn’t work, connect your PC system to another external CRT Monitor. If your PC  
System function properly with a CRT Monitor but it does not function with the LCD Monitor  
and the LCD Monitor’s power LED is blinking, the output timing of the PC’s VGA card may be  
out of the LCD’s synchronous range. Please change to an alternate mode listed in Appendix B or  
replace the VGA card and repeat steps 1 and 2.  
4. If the PC (or Notebook PC) doesn’t function with the CRT monitor neither, check BIOS to see if  
there is a Simultaneous Display setting under the display mode item. Set the BIOS display mode  
to Simultaneous Display or CRT and try again. If there is still no display, then there may be a  
problem with your system. Contact technical support.  
5. If the power LED is not lit, check to see if the AC power connector is securely connected. If the  
power LED is not lit, please contact your dealer for assistance.
