oscillations

ghosting
Wavy or elliptical (moire)
pattern is visible

(wires) are visible
Hum is heard right after the
power is turned on
• Degauss the monitor (page 15).
If you place equipment which generates a magnetic field, such as a loudspeaker, near
the monitor, or you change the direction of the monitor, color may lose uniformity.
The degauss function demagnetizes the metal frame of the CRT to obtain a neutral field
for uniform color reproduction. If a second degauss cycle is needed, allow a minimum
interval of 20 minutes for the best result.
• If the control lock function is set to on, set it to off using the OPTION OSD (page 16).
• Adjust the color temperature (pages 12 – 13).
• Check that the 5 BNCs are connected in the correct order (from left to right: Red–
Green–Blue–HD–VD) (page 6).
• Press the ASC button (page 7).
• Adjust the size or centering (page 10).
• Some video modes do not fill the screen to the edges. This problem tends to occur with
certain video boards.
• Adjust the geometry (page 11).
• Adjust the convergence (pages 13 – 14).
• Adjust the contrast and brightness (page 9).
• Degauss the monitor (page 15).

interval of 20 minutes for the best result.
• If red or blue shadows appear along the edges of images, adjust the convergence (pages
13 – 14).
• If the moire is cancelled, the picture may become fuzzy. Decrease the moire
cancellation effect (pages 13 – 14).
• Isolate and eliminate any potential sources of electric or magnetic fields. Common
causes for this symptom are electric fans, fluorescent lighting or laser printers.
• If you have another monitor close to this monitor, increase the distance between them
to reduce the interference.
• Try changing the direction of the monitor. For example, if it is facing South, turn it so
that it is facing East.
• Move the monitor away from power lines or place a magnetic shield around it.
• Try plugging the monitor into a different AC outlet, preferably on a different circuit.
• Set the refresh rate on the computer to obtain the best possible picture by referring to
the computer’s manual.
• Eliminate the use of video cable extensions and/or video switch boxes if this symptom
occurs. Excessive cable length or a weak connection can produce this symptom.
• Cancel the moire (pages 13 – 14).
The moire may be modified depending on the connected computer.
• Due to the relationship between resolution, monitor dot pitch and the pitch of some
image patterns, certain screen backgrounds sometimes show moire. Change your
desktop pattern.
• These wires stabilize the vertically striped aperture grille (page 19). This is not a
malfunction.
• When the power is turned on, the auto-degauss cycle is activated. While the auto-degauss
cycle is activated (3 seconds), a hum may be heard. The same hum is heard when the
monitor is manually degaussed. This is not a malfunction.
