What is the differences between old Regular TV and HDTV? What does HDTV-Ready mean? When computer is connected to Monitor's HDMI port , why the Monitor doesn't wake up from Sleep Mode?  What is HDTV? A: HDTV is a new format for broadcasting TV programming. HDTV is an acronym for High Definition Television.  It is the high-end of digital cable, and provides the highest quality TV viewing experience available. It can be received via satellite or, where available, by converting a special HDTV signal transmitted over a digital cable connection. Digitally encoding a television picture is known as DTV, or Digital Television. A signal that is DTV is not necessarily HDTV - think of small dish systems and the digital channels on the 4DTV system. However, all HDTV signals are DTV - or digital. Bottom-line is HDTV provides 5 times better resolution than regular TV Analog signal.           Back  Requirements to receive HDTV video? * HD - High Definition ** < QAM Tuner Definition>            Back A: As illustrated by the above diagram, i) Buy a HDTV that have ATSC or DTV Tuner built-in in order to view the highly detailed video images of HD. ATSC / DTV is the tuner for receiving HD signal. NTSC Tuner is for regular TV. Usually a HDTV Ready does not have an Integrated DTV Tuner inside the TV. One need to buy the DTV tuner in order to receive HD channel. Or rent a HD Ready Cable box from the Cable company. ii) HD Signal source : Next the TV Input Signal must be in HD format. To get HD format, either use a HDTV Antenna, subscribe to a HD Cable from the Cable company. Cable company usually lease or provides a HD Digital Cable Box. Using an Air HDTV Antenna, you can also able to receive some TV channels, currently being broadcast in HD format. iii) I/O Cable : Currently non HD TV uses RCA or S-Video cable to receive TV signal. For HDTV, it uses HDMI, Component or DVI cable to transfer the highest best quality, uncompressed Video & Audio data to the HDTV. iv) Right Channel : The HD Channel and Standard usually are on different channel. So, refer to your Cable TV programming guide. v) Other Sources : Besides Cable HD Channel, you can also able to use Satellite Dish, Up-Convert DVD Player, HD DVD player, Blu Ray DVD Player, Windows Media HD Movie to view High Definition movies/video. XBox 360 is also able to deliver HD to your HDTV too!            Back  What is the differences between old Regular TV and HDTV? i) Display quality : Standard NTSC TV display about 480 lines of resolution from top to bottom. HDTV display 1080 lines of resolution. It's twice the number of lines vertically and horizontally compared to the NTSC TV. So, the HDTV displays a very fine detailed images. ii) Audio Quality : Audio Quality: The improvement in audio quality over traditional analog TV is greater than that of a CD versus a cassette tape. HDTV programming is capable of Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound content, which mimics the three-dimensional sound heard in movie theaters. iii) Aspect Ratio : defines the size of the display (Display width divided by the Display height). Traditional Analog TV display in 4:3 aspect Ratio. HDTV display in 16:9 Ratio in Widescreen format. This 16:9 Wide Screen is a more natural setting for our eyes and similar to those ratio used in Theatre released movie. Bottom-line is you get to see more on the HDTV screen. See below for Aspect Ratio comparison :      Back               What does HDTV-Ready mean? HDTV-Ready Television does not have the ATSC / DTV tuner to receive HD signals. Std TV uses NTSC tuner. So, if you buy a HDTV-Ready TV to receive HD Channels over the AIR, you will not be able to because it does not have the Tuner to do the conversion job. You need to either buy the ATSC / DTV Tuner or rent a HD Cable Ready box from Cable company. To avoid hassle, buy a HDTV NOT HDTV-Ready.   Back  When computer is connected to Monitor's HDMI port , why the Monitor doesn't wake up from Sleep Mode? HDMI ports do not have DPMS (display power management system), therefore power saving features will not be present.

HDTV with the 60Hz Technology has a blueness to the image when it is showing Fast Motion images. Television images are created with a stream of still images. In the US, the stream is 60 fields each second. As two fields are needed to make a complete frame or image, the frame rate is 30 per second. In Europe, the rate is slightly slower, at 50 fields and 25 frames per second. As 30 or 25 frames per second is fairly slow, there can be a noticeable flicker and movement can look jerky as well. This is more of a problem in Europe than the US because of the slower frame rate in Europe. The frame rates were chosen years back according the mains supply frequency in the US and UK. Although this is no longer of any concern, with advances in elecctronics, the frame rates have stuck. Even with the move to high definition, the frame rates remain the same - 60Hz in the US and 50Hz in Europe. All other countries, by the way, follow one of the two frame rates. The 120Hz or 100Hz displays aim to overcome the flickering and jerky movement by inserting a new field between each of the fields received by the television. The theory is that with 100 or 120 fields being displayed each second, the human eye cannot discern the discrete images and see only a smooth picture. For static and slow moving images, the theory works well but as with all engineering solutions, this isn't a perfect one in all cases... Each field that is inserted needs to be made up. It cannot be a copy of the previous field because it would result in two identical fields, returning the output to 60 or 50 Hz. So, the new, intermediate field has to be calculated by taking the previous and the following field and working out what the image would be, if there was an original field at that time. It's a process called temporal interpolation and needs a huge amount of processing power. Sometimes, the calculations to generate the new field can get confused and the result is a disturbing judder in some parts of the image. Broadcasters who have to use similar techniques will spend a great deal of money to get the best conversions and domestic televisions will never have the same level of hardware installed. These errors are rarely visible, but before spending a lot of extra cash on a 120Hz television, spend some time looking at the image. Look for fast pans across football supporters as the camera follows the ball, for example. Also look at fast scrolling text. These are the images that may cause problems. If you are happy with the image you see and it looks smoother than the 60Hz equivalent model, then it's a good buy. If it doesn't look smoother, you should ask yourself if the extra cost of a 120Hz television is worthwhile. Can anyone explain to you 120hz tv?http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Can_anyone_explain_to_you_120hz_tv * Snapshots for demonstration purposes only – not an actual representation.  Anamorphic 1 Anamorphic describes a method used for squeezing 30-40% more wide screen resolution onto a DVD movie. Wide screen DVD movies can present more of the original theatrical format with a superior image. Adjust the DVD player’s output to 16:9 for wide screen for peak performance   Artificial Intelligence Sound 1 Controls the sound level to prevent wide variations in volume among different TV Channels and types of programming.  Auto Programmable Scan 1 Automatically tunes all available channels in your area or cable system into memory, and then lets you add or delete the channels of your choice. Audio Swap 1 The ability to listen to the audio from the main screen or the picture-in-picture window, without moving the video image around on the screen. Aspect Ratio 1 The term "aspect ratio" describes the relationship between the width and height of a TV screen. Traditional TVs have an aspect ratio of 4:3, meaning that for every 4 inches of width, there are 3 inches of height. This results in a screen that looks almost like a square. Many newer TVs have an aspect ratio of 16:9, so their screens are almost twice as wide as they are tall. Also referred to as "wide screen," 16:9 TVs are better suited to wide screen DVDs and HDTV broadcasts. The term "aspect ratio" can also be used to describe the dimensions in which film or TV shows are shot. Traditional broadcasts are usually in 4:3 format, while HDTV broadcasts have an aspect ratio of 16:9. Active Light Control 1 Automatically detects the brightness levels of the input signal and adjusts the backlight accordingly. It provides a maximum brightness that's considerably greater than the level of conventional systems, resulting in crisp, natural pictures. Active System Control 1 Dynamically adjusts the video signal according to the image contrast. Working in tandem with Active Light Control, it adds greater brightness to bright scenes and brings more depth to dark scenes, delivering more vivid images.

ATI Rage LT PRO AGP 1 The RAGE LT PRO is the first mobile accelerator to incorporate an integrated Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) I/O interface. ATI's advanced power management system, a block-by-block power control, results in lower power dissipation, helping to achieve longer battery life. The RAGE LT PRO also offers "Filtered Radiometric Expansion," which provides the best quality image scaling possible, to fit any size LCD panel. ATI's industry-leading TV-out technology, ImpacTV2™, is integrated with the RAGE LT PRO chip to support multi-screen viewing, and simultaneous outputs to TV, CRT and LCD. The RAGE LT PRO chip also provides the same high performance and functionality to the emerging LCD flat panel monitor market. ATSC & NTSC Tuner  (ATSC - Advanced Televsion System Committee) 1 ATSC tuner is the main HDTV Digital Receivers for HDTV TV. Regular tuner is called NTSC tuner which receives the NTSC signals. NTSC signals will be phased out in 2009 in favor of HDTV signal. Therefore all tuner will be change to ATSC tuner. An ATSC tuner or HDTV tuner, allows reception of digital television (DTV) signals broadcast over-the-air by TV stations in the U.S. These tuners are integrated into Televisions, VCRs, Digital Video Recorders, and Cable/Satellite set-top boxes. Consumers that receive their television from Cable or Satellite providers will be able to view digital TV from the set-top receivers or DVRs supplied by the provider.  Color Gamut 1 Color gamut is the range of red, green and blue the can be correctly rendered on a display. NTSC standards set a range of colors that can be transmitted. LCD panels that are able to display a higher percentage of NTSC color gamut are superior for watching television. Contrast Ratio ( Dark Area Illuminance ) 1 The brightness of a display at full white over the brightness of a display at full black. Because the black value is greatly affected by ambient light, some TV technologies calculate contrast ratio in darkened rooms. LCD televisions are superior at rejecting ambient light and maintaining contrast ratios in lit rooms. Component Video Inputs 1 Delivers outstanding resolution and color accuracy of video images from a variety of sources, including DVD players, by keeping the Y, PR, PB of video images intact during the transmission process. DSTN 1 Abbreviation of Dual-scan STN, an enhanced STN passive matrix LCD display. The screen is divided into halves, and each half is scanned simultaneously, thereby doubling the number of lines refreshed per second and providing a sharper appearance. DSTN is widely used on laptops. Dual Page Display 1                                         Ultra Wide LCD Screen are wide enough to allow Dual Page Display of 2 programs on the screen simultaneously. E.g user can have an Excel spreadsheet display on the right side and Internet Explorer display on the left side. However Dual page display is NOT an automatic function on the LCD monitor. User have to manually set the position the dual page view. DVD 1 Digital Versatile Disc – A high-density compact disc for storing large amounts of data, especially high-resolution audio-visual material. Movies stored on DVD are higher resolution than those stored on VHS videotape. DVI 1 Digital Visual Interface – A type of standard connector between the display and a computer or other device. DVI is Video only.  DVI images are superior to composite video and S-Video signals.                                              DVI Port  DVI-HDCP 1 Used by newer HDTV set-top boxes and DVD players, the DVI-HDCP connection allows the transmission of uncompressed, copy-protected digital content to your high definition display with stunning image fidelity and clarity. Five-Wire Resistive Technology 1 This technology utilizes the bottom substrate for both X and Y-axis measurements. The flexible coversheet acts only as a voltage-measuring probe. This means the touch screen will continue working properly even with non-uniformity in the coversheet's conductive coating. The result is an accurate, durable and reliable touch screen that offers drift-free operation. It is tested to over 35 million finger touches with no performance degradation (compare to 1 million touch life max. for Four-Wire and Eight-Wire Technology). Moreover, this advanced design allows flat, spherical (not available in Four-Wire and Eight-Wire), and cylindrical designs. Furthermore, Resistive Touch Screen Panel can be used with any object to touch, e.g. finger, pen, pencil, credit card, and many others. On the other hand, Capacitive Touch Screen Panel only allows to use finger to touch, which uses your body as a ground to measure coordinates. Flicker and Static Free 1 With Sceptre's feature, "Flicker and Static Free", it is friendlier and healthier for the users. Lots of people found those two are annoying and unhealthy to use in an extensive use. Screen Flicker results from a variety of factors, the most important of which is the monitor's refresh rate, the speed with which the screen is redrawn. If the refresh rate is too slow, the screen will appear to glimmer. Screen Static is the noise produced in a radio or television receiver by man-made electrical disturbances. Faroudja DCDi 1 DCDi is a video mode algorithm that stands for Directional Correlation Deinterlacing. It was designed for video based material like fast-paced sporting events. Its purpose is to eliminate jagged edges (jaggies) along diagonal lines caused by interpolation. If you remember, you are not simply weaving together two fields of video that match, you have to create new information through the art of interpolation which is really a fancy way to say you are guessing. DCDi monitors edge transitions and fills in the gaps. The technology was introduced a few years back in the digital format translator, a $50,000 system that broadcasters like CBS use to upconvert NTSC to HD. It was/is used to upconvert standard definition material (480i, what we have on conventional TV) to enhanced definition quality (480p). You may already being enjoying DCDi today on your digital TV. In the Fig B below, you will see how DCDi makes the lines much more dramatic, and it is really a terrific illustration of how powerful DCDi is. In Fig A, it is an enlarged area of the flag, with DCDi turned off. You can see jagged lines. With DCDi turned on (bottom, Fig B), the jagged lines are gone, and the lines are smooth. This is a huge technical accomplishment by Faroudja engineers. Because DCDi is a video algorithm (an algorithm is a series of mathematical formulas), you might wonder how it affects viewing a film on TV. Remember, in order to avoid artifacts, a video processor will switch modes (film vs. video - video vs. film). If the transition between video and film is not done properly by the studio, it is called a Bad Edit. The video processor will then treat the film material as video during those sections of bad edits. There are a couple of giveaways when the processor has switched from film mode to video mode. First is the loss of resolution. This is minimized because the Faroudja algorithm is motion adaptive. The second is the appearance of jaggies along diagonal edges. DCDi hides a good portion of the jaggies, so you never realize when it changes from and to film mode, which is the whole point! DCDi makes the movie watching experience more enjoyable because the annoying artifacts are all gone, so all you have to worry about is whether there is any more microwave popcorn in the kitchen cabinet. Bottom image is with DCDi technology applied. HDTV Resolution 1 720p (Progressive),1080p & 1080i (Interlaced). HDTV Ready 1 A television set that is equipped to receive a digital signal form an external high definition digital source, like a cable box, satellite, or tuner. HDMI-HDCP 1 HDMI is a new standard digital connection between A/V devices, such as a set-top box, DVD player or A/V receiver, and a digital television. HDMI stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface, and like DVI, it allows for the uncompressed data transfer of video between a digital TV and HDMI-enabled consumer electronics devices. According to the HDMI’s official Web site, the advantages of HDMI are: 1) The highest quality video seen and audio heard 2) Fewer cables behind the TV means less mess and confusion-free connection 3) Automatically configures remote controls of devices connected by HDMI 4) Automatically adjusts video content to most effective format 5) HDMI is compatible with DVI, which means it will allow connection to PCs HDMI Port       Horizontal /Vertical Edge Correction 1 Sharpens the edges of objects in the picture. Horizontal edge correction works in conjunction with the dynamic sharpness control and velocity modulated scan to help produce clean, crisp television images and reduce the unwanted effects of video noise. The vertical edge correction circuit works in conjunction with the digital comb filter to sharpen the horizontal edges of objects in the picture. Horizontal Viewing Angle 1 A wide horizontal viewing angle lets viewers sit away from the center seating position and still experience the product. HPA 1 Short for High-Performance Addressing, a Passive-Matrix Display technology that provides better response rates and contrast than conventional LCD displays. Although HPA displays aren't quite as crisp or fast as Active-Matrix (TFT) displays, they're considerably less expensive to produce. Consequently, HPA is being used by a number of computer manufacturers for their entry level or value notebook computers. LCD 1 Abbreviation of Liquid Crystal Display, a type of display used in digital watches and many portable computers. LCD displays utilize two sheets of polarizing material with a liquid crystal solution between them. An electric current passed through the liquid causes the crystals to align so that light cannot pass through them. Each crystal, therefore, is like a shutter, either allowing light to pass through or blocking the light. Light weight and slim design 1 With Sceptre's Light Weight and Slim Design features, it is ideal to carry for the road trip, business presentation, and many other purposes. This product has an easy detachable base (no tool required³). This feature reduces the unnecessary weight and space to carry for the presentation. Most of all, it is to carry around. ( PIP) Picture-in-picture 1 An enhanced version of picture-in-picture offers a variety of per-arrange formats that the user can choose from to display more than one image on a screen. Some are arrange to display simultaneous image from both a computer and TV. QAM Tuner 1 QAM stands for "quadrature amplitude modulation," the format by which digital cable channels are encoded and transmitted via cable. With the QAM tuner, users can connect their cable directly to their TV and watch any digital and/or HD cable station that is not encrypted. Integrated QAM tuner allows free reception of unscrambled digital cable programming offered by certain cable providers. Contact your local provider for more information about the availability of such content in your area.  Resolution 1 Refers to the sharpness and clarity of an image. The term is most often used to describe monitors, printers, and bit-mapped graphic images. In the case of dot-matrix and laser printers, the resolution indicates the number of dots per inch. For example, a 300-dpi (dots per inch) printer is one that is capable of printing 300 distinct dots in a line 1 inch long. This means it can print 90,000 dots per square inch. For graphics monitors, the screen resolution signifies the number of dots (pixels) on the entire screen. For example, a 640-by-480 pixel screen is capable of displaying 640 distinct dots on each of 480 lines, or about 300,000 pixels. This translates into different dpi measurements depending on the size of the screen. For example, a 15-inch VGA monitor (640x480) displays about 50 dots per inch. UXGA: A display with 1200 x 1600 pixel resolution. SXGA: A display with 1280 x 1024 pixel resolution. XGA:  A display with 1024 x 768 pixel resolution. SVGA: A display with 800 x 600 pixel resolution. VGA:  A display with 640 x 480 pixel resolution. Printers, monitors, scanners, and other I/O devices are often classified as high resolution, medium resolution, or low resolution. The actual resolution ranges for each of these grades is constantly shifting as the technology improves. Video RAM Required for Different Resolutions Resolution 256 colors (8-bit) 65,000 colors (16-bit) 16.7 million colors (24-bit, true color) 640x480 512K 1 MB 1 MB 800x600 512K 1 MB 2 MB 1,024x768 1 MB 2 MB 4 MB 1,152x1,024 2 MB 2 MB 4 MB 1,280x1,024 2 MB 4 MB 4 MB 1,600x1,200 2 MB 4 MB 6 MB  8ms, 12ms, 16ms & 25ms Response Times 1 Response time is a measure of how long a display takes to change the image. A typical LCD television is 2 to 3 times faster than the average computer monitor LCD Fast response time is superior for playing computer games and viewing action movies and sports using TFT technology. TFT 1 Abbreviation of Thin Film Transistor, a type of LCD flat-panel display screen, in which each pixel is controlled by from one to four transistors. The TFT technology provides the best resolution of all the flat-panel techniques, but it is also the most expensive. TFT screens are sometimes called Active-Matrix LCDs. S-Video 1 This input is used on most electronic devices, allow a signal line and sound signal connection.  Super MVA technology 1 MVA Technology allows wider viewing angle from the both sides of LCD. In more technical terms, the conventional multi-domain vertical alignment (MVA) technology has smaller viewing angle in the azimuth angle of 45 degree. The viewing angle of MVA LCD is increased to 80 degree in all azimuth angle by CMO' Super MVA technology Video In 1 This input is used for video cameras, VCR’s, DVD players, game stations. SRS TruSurround XT 1 SRS TruSurround XT is the second generation of SRS TruSurround. Building upon its patented predecessor, TruSurround XT solves the problem of playing 5.1 or 6.1 multichannel content over two speakers (or headphones). TruSurround XT accepts input from up to a seven channel (6.1) audio source and processing a two-channel output. When receiving multichannel content, TruSurround XT virtualizes the channels, creating "phantom" speakers that appear to extend all around the listener. When receiving mono or stereo content, TruSurround XT presents an expansive three dimensional sound field. It makes the sound richer and real.                    Y Pb Pr 1 Component Video input used for wide screen formats on most DVD players and HDTV viewing. XGA 1 Short for Extended Graphics Array, a high-resolution graphics standard introduced by IBM in 1990. XGA was designed to replace the older 8514/A video standard. It provides the same resolutions (640 by 480 or 1024 by 768 pixels), but supports more simultaneous color (65 thousand compared to 8514/A's 256 colors). In addition, XGA allows monitors to be non-interlaced.

After removing all the drivers, please reboot your computer and you should be able to see windows. Please install your monitor driver first, then your video card driver. Please remember to make sure your refresh rate should be at 60Hz. 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. 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".

Copy that name then search it with an online search engine like GOOGLETM. 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. Check your 3.5 mm mini-jack cable and see if it is connected correctly between the computer and the monitor. Check the volume of your computer and also the volume of the monitor. 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 video card's options in the computer but ultimately you'll need to upgrade your video card. Are you using the monitor's native resolution? If not you'll need to switch resolution to the native 1680x1050 at 60 Hz to make the words clearer. If you're using VGA please do not forget to AUTO ADJUST and to use FORMAT under OSD. 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 Page36 SCEPTRE X22 How do I clean the LCD? IMPORTANT 1.

Make sure you switched to the correct source. Check both sources to see video is on the other source. Check your video cable. It might be corrupt. Swap out the video cable for another one to see if the monitor will work. Check your power plug. See if it is fully plugged in on both the monitor and the wall. If you have a CRT monitor, please connect the CRT monitor to the computer and change the refresh rate down to 60Hz via your video card's display settings menu. After the setting of 60Hz has been change you can then use the LCD on the computer. 1. To change the setting go to display settings by right clicking on your desktop THERE IS NO LCD DISPLAY or SCREEN SAYS NO VIDEO MONITOR SAYS "SIGNAL OUT OF RANGE" SCEPTRE X22 Page35 Problem (continued) MONITOR SAYS "SIGNAL OUT OF RANGE" (continued) Possible solutions (continued) with nothing selected. Choose the PROPERTIES option. Click on the SETTINGS tab, then click on the ADVANCED button. Click on the MONITOR tab and change the refresh rate to 60Hz. Click on OK 2-3 times to finalize your change. 2. 3. 4. If you do NOT have a CRT monitor or it's already broken, please make sure both the X22 monitor and your computer is turned off. 1. 2. Turn on the LCD and the computer. While the computer is turned on, press the "F8" key on your keyboard continuously until a selection menu appears and select the "Safe Mode" option. When you've entered Safe Mode please uninstall any video card driver and monitor driver by using either the "Add / Remove Programs" icon or going into "System Properties" and manually removing anything under "Monitors" and "Display Adapters". After removing all the drivers, please reboot your computer and you should be able to see windows. Please install your monitor driver first, then your video card driver. Please remember to make sure your refresh rate should be at 60Hz. 3. 4. I CANNOT GET THE RESOLUTION 1680X1050 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. 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. Page36 SCEPTRE X22 Problem (continued) I CANNOT GET THE RESOLUTION 1680X1050 (continued) Possible solutions (continued) 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 GOOGLETM. 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. This monitor does not have internal speakers. I DO NOT HEAR ANY SOUND FROM THE MONITOR THE VIDEO IS TOO BRIGHT NO MATTER WHAT I ADJUST 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 video card's options in the computer but ultimately you'll need to upgrade your video card. Are you using the monitor's native resolution? If not you'll need to switch resolution to the native 1680x1050 at 60 Hz to make the words clearer. If you're using VGA please do not forget to AUTO ADJUST and to use FORMAT under OSD. If the words are still blurry, please try enabling or disabling CLEAR TYPE function from windows. THE WORDS AND VIDEO ARE TOO BLURRY THE COLORS ARE NOT CORRECT 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. SCEPTRE X22 Page37 How do I clean the LCD? IMPORTANT 1. 2.

After removing all the drivers, please reboot your computer and you should be able to see windows. Please install your monitor driver first, then your video card driver. Please remember to make sure your refresh rate should be at 60Hz. 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.

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 GOOGLETM. Find your video card company's web address and search for newer drivers. If updating your drivers do 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. Check your 3.5 mm mini-jack cable and see if it is connected correctly between the computer and the monitor. Check the volume of your computer and also the volume of the monitor. You can check the volume of the monitor by pressing the key. I DO NOT HEAR ANY SOUND FROM THE SPEAKERS SCEPTRE X23 Page35 THE VIDEO IS TOO BRIGHT NO MATTER WHAT I ADJUST THE WORDS AND VIDEO ARE TOO BLURRY 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.

If not you'll need to switch resolution to the native 1360x768 at 60 Hz to make the words clearer. If you're using VGA please do not forget to AUTO ADJUST. 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.

After removing all the drivers, please reboot your computer and you should be able to see windows. Please install your monitor driver first, then your video card driver. Please remember to make sure your refresh rate should be at 60Hz. 3. 4. I CANNOT GET THE RESOLUTION 1920X1200 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. 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 GOOGLETM. 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. THERE IS NO SOUND COMING OUT OF THE MONITOR THE VIDEO IS TOO BRIGHT NO MATTER WHAT I ADJUST THE WORDS AND VIDEO ARE TOO BLURRY The non-HDMI monitor does not contain any audio hook ups or any speakers. You are responsible for obtaining and hooking up independent speakers to your computer or video device. 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. Are you using the monitor's native resolution? If not you'll need to switch resolution to the native 1920x1200 at 60 Hz to make the words clearer. If you're using VGA please do not forget to AUTO ADJUST and to use FORMAT under OSD. If the words are still blurry, please try enabling or disabling CLEAR TYPE function from windows. SCEPTRE X24 Page47 Problem THE COLORS ARE NOT CORRECT Possible solutions (continued) 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. Afterwards please use the AUTO COLOR function inside the OSD to recalibrate the colors. At the native resolution of 1920x1080, some people might feel that the words are too small to read. You can change the size of the words in Windows Operating System via its display properties.
