If your LCD monitor display has no color, very light color, or the color is distorted, try the following:
Unplug the cable connecting your monitor to your DVR or CCTV Camera and make sure that the plugs on either end do not have a bent pin.
Note: If a pin is bent, use a needle nose pliers to very gently straighten the pin or, if the pin is severely damaged, replace the cable.
Replug the cable at both ends and make sure that the plugs are securely connected to the back of your monitor and to your DVR or CCTV Camera. Test your monitor. If the problem remains after you have confirmed that there are no bent pins and you have made sure the signal cable is connected securely replace your current signal cable with another cable.
If the suggestions above do not resolve the color problem, try resetting the color through the OSD (on screen display) menu.
To reset the color on most Anrecson LCD monitors, follow these steps:
1. Press the Menu button on your monitor. The OSD appears.
2. Press the Up, down, left and right arrows Adjust button to cycle through the menu until the Reset menu appears. One of the selections on the reset menu should be Color Reset.
3. Press the Menu button again to select the Reset menu or function menu.
4. Press the Up, down, left and right arrows Adjust button to temperature Color Reset.
5. Press the Menu button to select Color Reset.
6. Press the “select” Adjust button to select Yes. The screen may flash as the monitor resets the color.
7. Press the Exit button on the monitor three times to exit the OSD.
Note: The procedure above works for most Anrecson LCD monitors. It may not work for yours. For exact instructions, see you user’s manual. If you don’t have your user’s manual on hand. If your problem is not resolved after you have reset the color, try pushing the Auto Adjust button on your monitor. If your problem is not resolved after you have pushed the Auto Adjust button, you should run a monitor self-test to check whether your monitor is functioning properly.
To run the self test, follow these steps:
1. Turn off both your computer, another video equipment and the monitor.
2. Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer.
3. Turn on the monitor. Depending on your monitor, one of the Check Signal Cable figures shown below appears.
Note: While in the Self-Test mode, the monitor’s LED power indicator remains green and the Check Signal Cable figure moves around on the screen.
