If your monitor screen remains blank after performing the previous step, check your 
video controller and computer for any possible issues.

Built-in diagnostics

Your monitor has a built-in diagnostic tool that helps you determine if the screen 
abnormality you are experiencing is an inherent problem with your monitor, or with your 
computer and video card.

5

To run the built-in diagnostics:

1.  Ensure that the screen is clean (no dust particles on the surface of the 

screen).

2.  Press and hold 

button 4

 for four seconds and a menu appears on the screen.

3.  Select the built-in diagnostics 

 option. A gray screen appears. 

4.  Carefully inspect the screen for abnormalities.
5.  Press Button 1 on the front panel again. The color of the screen changes to 

red.

6.  Inspect the display for any abnormalities.

7.  Repeat steps 5 to 6 to inspect the display when it changes to green, blue, 

black, white, and text screens.

The test is complete when the text screen appears. To exit, press button 1 again. 
If you do not detect any screen abnormalities during the built-in diagnostic tool, the 
monitor is functioning properly. Check the video card and computer for any possible 
issues.
