Self check
Problems with monitors are often due to issues other than functional defects in the monitor. Problems can be due to connected peripheral equipment, faulty configuration or disturbances from the surroundings.
A proper identification of the source of the problem prevents unnecessary service returns and minimizes the time needed to resolve the problem. Therefore it is valuable to carry out a basic self-check by following the directions under ‘Troubleshooting’ in the user manual or as per below. It will also form the basis of a correct description of the problem.
The following shows how to check monitor function with the most common problems.
