3. Click on the MONITOR tab and change the refresh rate to165 Hz.
4. Click on OK 2-3 times to finalize your change. If you do NOT have a CRT monitor or it’s already broken, please make sure both the LED monitor and your computer is turned off.

2. 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.

Problem| Possible solutions
---|---
I CAN NOT GET THE RESOLUTION
2560×1440| 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 1″. 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 adjusting the brightness to compensate.
THE WORDS AND VIDEO ARE TOO BLURRY| Are you using the monitor’s native resolution? If not you’ll need to switch resolution to the native 2560×1440 at 165Hz to make the words clearer.
If the words are still blurry, please try enabling or disabling the CLEAR TYPE function from windows.
THE COLORS ARE NOT CORRECT| Sometimes the colors are not correct because your DVI or DP or HDMI cable is loose or corrupt. Please try reconnecting your cable or swapping out your current cable to see if the problem persists.
HOW DO I RESET THE MONITOR| Make sure there is a valid video signal to the monitor and press the menu to open the OSD. Look for RESET under the OTHER options.
I CHANGED MY COLOR SETTINGS NOW I CAN’T GET THE FACTORY DEFAULT BACK.| Open the OSD, under OTHER. select RESET to reset all values back to factory default.
