6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning the Monitor Screen

To clean the screen, gently wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn marks, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a specialized screen cleaner. Never spray liquid directly onto the screen.

6.2 Cleaning the Monitor Exterior

Wipe the exterior surfaces of the monitor with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your monitor, refer to the following common solutions:

• No Power: Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the monitor and a working electrical outlet. Check if the power indicator light is on.
• No Signal/Blank Screen: Verify that the video cable (HDMI or VGA) is firmly connected to both the monitor and your computer. Ensure the correct input source is selected via the monitor's OSD menu. Try restarting your computer.
• Flickering Screen: Check the video cable for damage or loose connections. Ensure your graphics card drivers are up to date.
• Incorrect Resolution: Adjust the display resolution settings in your computer's operating system to 1920 x 1080 pixels for optimal display quality.
• Image Border: Some users may observe a small, approximately 1/4-inch border around the perimeter of the display area. This is a characteristic of the panel design and not a defect.
