Remove any extension cables or switchboxes.

Make sure that the video cable is connected securely to the back of the monitor and your 
computer. For more information about connecting the video cable, 

see “Connecting the 

monitor” on page 2

.

Make sure that the video cable is not damaged.

Check the end of the video cable for any pins that might be bent or pushed in.

Make sure that your monitor connection is using the VGA cable that came with your monitor.

The monitor has pixels that are always dark or too bright

This condition is normal and inherent in the TFT technology used in active-matrix LCD 
screens. Gateway’s inspection standards keep these to a minimum. If you feel these pixels 
are unacceptably numerous or dense on your display, contact Gateway Customer Care to 
identify whether a repair or replacement is justified based on the number of pixels affected.

FAQs

This section contains answers to frequently asked questions.

General

I have the monitor connected to my notebook’s VGA port and I see no image on the screen. 

You have two options:

If your notebook supports dual displays, you can use both your notebook’s display and 
this monitor in extended desktop multi-monitor mode. See Windows Help to learn how 
to enable multiple monitors.

You can also use this monitor as your primary monitor and not use the notebook’s 
screen. Notebook computers typically have an F

N

 key combination that lets you toggle 

between your notebook’s display and an externally attached display. On Gateway 
notebooks, this key combination is F

N

+F4. The F4 key is located along the top row of 

keys. See your notebook user guide for more information.
