Check these items
• If the Control Lock function is set to "ON," set it to "OFF" using the OPTION OSD (page 9).
• Press the (AUTO SIZING AND CENTERING) button (page 6)
• Adjust the size (page 10) or centering (page 8).
• Some video modes do not fill the screen to the edges. This problem tends to occur with
certain video boards.
• Adjust the geometry (page 10).
• Adjust the convergence using the SCREEN OSD (page 8).
• Adjust the contrast and brightness (page 6).
• Degauss the monitor using the OPTION OSD (page 9).
If you place equipment which generates a magnetic field, such as a loudspeaker, near the
monitor, or you change the direction of the monitor, the color may not be uniform.
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 using the
SCREEN OSD (page 8).
• If the moire is cancelled, the picture may become fuzzy. Decrease the moire cancellation
effect using the SCREEN OSD (page 8).
• Isolate and eliminate any potential sources of electric or magnetic fields. Common causes
for this symptom are electric fans, fluorescent lighting and 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 using the monitor with a different computer in a different room.
• Refer to your computer system's manual and change your display refresh rate settings so
they match the monitor's capabilities.
• Eliminate the use of video cable extensions and/or video switch boxes. Excessive cable
length or a weak connection can produce this symptom.
• Cancel the moire using the SCREEN OSD (page 8).
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 3). 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, a hum may be heard. The same hum is heard when the monitor is
manually degaussed. This is not a malfunction.
• Adjust the color temperature using the COLOR OSD (page 8).
• Check that the 5 BNCs are connected in the correct order (from left to right: Red–Green–
Blue–HD–VD).
