Useful Tips

A monitor recreates visual signals received from the computer. Therefore, if there is a problem
with the computer or the video card, this can cause the monitor to become blank, have poor
coloring, become noisy, and video mode not supported, etc. In this case, first check the source of
the problem, and then contact the Service Center or your dealer.
