Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible solutions
THERE IS NO LED DISPLAY or SCREEN SAYS NO SIGNAL	Make sure you switched to the correct source. Check both sources to see video is on the other source. Check your video cable. It might be corrupt. Swap out the video cable for another one to see if the monitor will work. Check your power plug. See if it is fully plugged in on both the monitor and the wall.
MONITOR SAYS “SIGNAL OUT OF RANGE”	If you have a CRT monitor, please connect the CRT monitor to the computer and change the refresh rate down to 60 Hz via your video card’s display settings menu. After the setting of 60 Hz has been changed, you can then use the LED Monitor on the computer. To change the setting go to display settings by right clicking on your desktop with nothing selected. Choose the PROPERTIES option. Click on the SETTINGS tab, verify the resolution is NOT higher than 1920 x 1080, and click on the ADVANCED button. Click on the MONITOR tab and change the refresh rate to 60 Hz. Click on OK 2-3 times to finalize your change. If you do NOT have a CRT monitor or it’s already broken, please make sure both the LED monitor and your computer is turned off. Turn on the LED monitor and the computer. While the computer is turned on, press the “F8” key on your keyboard continuously until a selection menu appears and select the “Safe Mode” option. When you’ve entered Safe Mode, please uninstall any video card driver and monitor driver by using either the “Add / Remove Programs” icon or going into “System Properties” and manually removing anything under “Monitors” and “Display Adapters”. After removing all the drivers, please reboot your computer and you should be able to see windows. Please install your monitor driver first, then your video card driver. Please remember to make sure your refresh rate should be at 60Hz.
I CAN’T OPEN THE OSD	You need to have a valid video signal going through the monitor before you can turn on the OSD.
I CANNOT GET THE RESOLUTION 1920 x1080	Sometimes your video card will not read the monitor correctly and will not allow you to achieve the resolution you want. Rebooting your computer will solve the situation. You can also make sure your video card’s video drivers are up to date. You can find what video card you have by clicking on START then RUN. Type in “DXDIAG”. When the diagnostic window pops up, click on the DISPLAY tab. The program will tell you what video chipset you have. Copy that name then search it with an online search engine like GOOGLE™. Find your video card company’s web address and search for newer drivers. If updating your drivers does not work, you probably have one of the older video cards and cannot achieve a widescreen resolution. You’ll need to upgrade your video card to a newer one.
THE VIDEO IS TOO BRIGHT NO MATTER WHAT I ADJUST	Sometimes having older video cards this type of problem might happen due to newer LEDs having to provide HD video capability and not being fully compatible with older video cards. You can try adjusting the contrast to a lower value and adjust the brightness to compensate.
THE WORDS AND VIDEO ARE TOO BLURRY	Are you using the monitor’s native resolution? If not you’ll need to switch resolution to the native 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz to make the words clearer. If the words are still blurry, please try enabling or disabling CLEAR TYPE function from windows.
THE COLORS ARE NOT CORRECT	Sometimes the colors are not correct because your DVI or DP or HDMI cable is loose or corrupt. Please try reconnecting your cable or swap out your current cable to see if the problem persists
HOW DO I RESET THE MONITOR	Make sure there is a valid video signal to the monitor and press menu to open the OSD. Look for RESET under the OTHER options.
I CHANGED MY COLOR SETTINGS NOW I CAN’T GET THE FACTORY DEFAULT BACK.	Open the OSD, under OTHER, select RESET to reset all values back to factory default.
THE WORDS ARE TOO SMALL AT 1920 x1080	At the native resolution of 1920 x 1080, some people might feel that the words are too small to read. You can change the size of the words in Windows Operating System via its display properties. For Windows XP Right click on the background with nothing selected. Left click on the PROPERTIES option. Click on the SETTINGS tab. Under SETTINGS, click on the ADVANCED button. Under GENERAL tab, change the size of the words by selecting the option NORMAL SIZE and change it to LARGE SIZE Click on OK on all windows to exit. Once you have finished rebooting, the computer is ready for use. For Windows VISTA or Windows 8 or Windows 10 Right click on the Wallpaper. Left click on the PERSONALIZE option. Click on ADJUST FONT SIZE (DPI) option on the left column and Click on CONTINUE In there you can change the size of the words by changing from the option DEFAULT SCALE to LARGE SCALE. Click on APPLY to finalize your selection. Once you have finished rebooting, the computer is ready for use.
I CANNOT GET 144Hz REFRESH RATE ON MY MONITOR	Make sure your video card supports that feature. Also make sure, you are using DisplayPort to connect from your computer to your monitor.
