ICAN’T OPEN THE OSD	You need to have a valid videosignal going through themonitor before you can turn on the OSD.

ICANNOT GET THE RESOLUTION

2560 x1080

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.

THE VIDEO IS TOO BRIGHT NO MATTER WHAT I ADJUST

Sometimes having older video cards this type of problem might happen due to newer LEDs 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.

THEWORDS AND VIDEO ARE TOO BLURRY

Are you using the monitor’s native resolution? If not you’ll need to switch resolution to the native 2560 x 1080 at 60 Hz to make the words clearer.

If the words are still blurry, please try enabling or disabling CLEAR TYPE function from windows.

THE COLORS ARE NOT CORRECT

Sometimes the colors are not correct because your DP or HDMI cable is loose or corrupt. Please try reconnecting your cable or swap out your current cable to see if the problem persists.

HOWDO I RESET THE MONITOR

Make sure there is a valid video signal to the monitor and press menu to open the OSD. Look for RESET under the OTHER options.
