We recommend that you auto-adjust the attached monitor once in a while to realign its
settings with the video output of the Docking Station. This action should fix most of the issues
related to the quality of the video on the monitor. Refer to your monitor's user manual for
instructions on how to do the auto-adjust procedure.
The attached monitor is flickering.
Flickering is usually associated with CRT monitors caused by a low refresh rate. Always try
and use the maximum refresh rate available:
•
In Extend mode, increase the refresh rate of the attached monitor.
•
In Mirror mode, increase the refresh rate of your laptop screen, which will in turn
increase the refresh rate of the attached monitor.
For supported refresh rates, see
