Check if the power cord is properly 
connected to the monitor.

Check if the video signal cable is 
properly connected at the back of 
monitor.

Check if the computer system is 
switched on and in power saving/
standby mode.

Unstable picture

Check if the specification of graphics 
adapter and monitor is in compliance 
which may be causing the input signal 
frequency mismatch.

Wait for a few seconds after adjusting 
the size of the image before changing 
or disconnecting the signal cable or 
switching off the monitor.
