Troubleshooting 

Problem Possible 

Solution

 

No image 
appears on the 
screen. 

 

Check that all the power cord connections are secure. 

 

Check that the power buttons on the side and front of both 
monitors are switched on and that the power indicator light 
is green. 

 

Check that the DVI cables are securely fastened to the 
graphics card, the mirror-flip PCI card, and the two 
monitors. 

 

Make sure that the pins of the DVI connectors are not  
bent or broken. 

 

If only the bottom monitor appears to be working, make 
sure the graphics card is not in the single-monitor mode.   

Partial image  
or incorrectly 
displayed image. 

 

Check to see if the resolution of the computer/graphics card 
is higher than that of the LCD panels (1680 x 1050). 

 

Check to see that the output timing of the video signals  
is within the synchronous range of the LCD panels 
(horizontal: 30 – 94 kHz; vertical: 56 – 75 Hz).  The “Input Not 
Supported” message appears on the screen if the timing is 
not supported by the LCD panel. 

Both displays 
work but there is 
no stereo 
functionality. 

Be certain the graphics card is properly set up for the dual-
monitor stereo mode.  If you are using a professional 
application, make sure that OpenGL settings are enabled.  
Refer to the owner’s manual for the graphics card.   

The stereoscopic 
image appears to 
be inverted. 

Be certain the video cable to the bottom display is the left 
channel and the cable to the top display is the right channel.  
Also make sure that the image sent to the top monitor is 
mirror-flipped either by software or the mirror-flip PCI card.   

Only one display 
is showing an 
image. 

Be certain that your graphics card is configured for two 
monitors.  Use clone mode, horizontal span (also called stretch 
mode), or dual-monitor mode configuration.  Be sure that all 
video cables are securely connected.
