Problem  
Possible solutions  
If you are using DVI, please try out VGA to see if you are able to  
achieve that resolution. If your VGA can then, your video card’s DVI  
cannot support widescreen resolutions.  
I CANNOT GET THE  
RESOLUTION  
1920x1080  
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.  
Sometimes having older video cards this type of problem might  
happen due to newer LCDs 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 VIDEO IS TOO  
BRIGHT NO MATTER  
WHAT I ADJUST  
Are you using the monitor’s native resolution? If not you’ll need to  
switch resolution to the native 1920x1080 at 60 Hz to make the words  
clearer. If you’re using VGA please do not forget to AUTO ADJUST.  
THE WORDS AND  
VIDEO ARE TOO  
BLURRY  
If the words are still blurry, please try enabling or disabling CLEAR  
TYPE function from windows.  
Sometimes the colors are not correct because your VGA or DVI cable  
is loose or corrupt. Please try reconnecting your cable or swap out  
your current cable to see if the problem persists.  
THE COLORS ARE  
NOT CORRECT

How do I clean the LCD?  
IMPORTANT  
1. The power cable has to be removed from the socket before cleaning  
the TV.  
2. Do not use volatile solvent (alcohol, rosin, and toluene) to clean the  
TV. These types of chemicals might damage the housing and the  
LCD glass.  
Cleaning the bezel  
1. Use a 100% cotton cloth or micro-fiber cloth for cleaning.  
2. If the bezel is dirty to the point where you cannot simply dry wipe it,  
please lightly dampen the wiping material with clean water and wipe  
again. Wipe the display with a dry micro-fiber cloth or 100% cotton  
cloth afterwards.  
Please Note :  
Make sure you wring the water out of the cloth before  
cleaning the bezel in order to prevent water from  
penetrating into the electronics.  
Cleaning the Screen  
1. Use a 100% cotton cloth or micro-fiber cloth for cleaning.  
2. The LCD screen glass is extremely fragile. Do not scrape it with any  
material. Do not press or tap the screen to avoid cracking. When  
the screen is dirty to the point where you cannot simply dry wipe it,  
please lightly dampen the wiping material with clean water and wipe  
again. Wipe the display with a dry micro-fiber cloth or 100% cotton  
cloth afterwards.
