working through the instructions in the

is normal for blurring to occur due to conduction losses in extension cables. You can minimize 
these losses by using an extension cable with better conduction quality or with a built-in booster.

Does the blurring only occur at resolutions lower than the native (maximum) resolution?

Read the 

How to adjust the screen resolution on page 17

 section. Select the native resolution.

Pixel errors can be seen:

One of several pixels is permanently black, one or more pixels are permanently white, one or 
more pixels are permanently red, green, blue or another color.

  Clean the LCD screen.

  Cycle power on-off.

technology.

The image has a faulty coloration:

It has a yellow, blue or pink appearance.

Select Exit > PICTURE > Color > Reset Color, and then choose “Yes” in the “Caution” message 
box to reset the color settings to the factory defaults. 

If the image is still not correct and the OSD also has faulty coloration, this means one of the three 
primary colors is missing in the signal input. Now check the signal cable connectors. If any pin is 
bent or broken off, please contact your dealer to get necessary support.

connectors. If any pin is bent or broken off, please contact your dealer to get necessary support.
