| Symptoms | Disposal Methods |
|---|---|
| 1. Blank screen / Power indicator does not work | Check whether the power supply is in good contact with the display and the power socket; and check whether the display is turned off. |
| 2. Blurred, too large or too small images | Go to the "Image Settings" category menu and select "Image Auto Adjust" to make the monitor adjust automatically to correct. (Only available for monitors with VGA, if applicable) |

| 4. Display overheating | Leave at least 10cm of ventilated space around the display. Do not place articles on the display. |
| 5. Dark/light spots when powered on | It is normal. Because of the temperature difference in the environment, the backlit tube emits uneven light at the initial stage after the display turns on. However, the backlit tube will emit normal light after 20 minutes, and the dark/light spots will be eliminated at that time. |
| 6. Image distortion, flashing, shaking | Check your computer configuration, choose the correct resolution, and reset your refresh rate. |
| 7. Noisy signal when powered off | During the power-off of the display, there may be some noisy signals on the screen caused by the normal discharge. |
