Check these items
• If the control lock function is set to on, set it to off using the OPTION OSD (page 15).
• Adjust the color temperature (page 12).
• Adjust the size or centering (pages 9 – 10).
• Some video modes do not fill the screen to the edges. This problem tends to occur with
certain video boards.
• Adjust the geometry (pages 10 – 11).
• Adjust the convergence (pages 12 – 13).
• Adjust the contrast and brightness (page 8).
• Degauss the monitor (page 13).
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 red or blue shadows appear along the edges of images, adjust the convergence
(pages 12 – 13).
• If the moire is cancelled, the picture may become fuzzy. Decrease the moire
cancellation effect (pages 12 – 13).
• 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 plugging the monitor into a different AC outlet, preferably on a different circuit.
• Try the monitor on a different computer in a different room.
• 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 12 – 13).
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 17). This aperture grille
allows more light to pass through to the screen giving the Trinitron CRT more color
and brightness.
• When the power is turned on, the auto-degauss cycle is activated. While the auto-
degauss cycle is activated (2 seconds), a hum may be heard. The same hum is heard
when the monitor is manually degaussed. This is not a malfunction.
