Monitor Turns Off or On by Itself
Your monitor should only turn on and off when you want it to, and not on its own. Don't call Ghostbusters just yet: a loose power cord is the most likely culprit.
Monitor's Image Is Distorted, Ghosted, or Flickering
Sometimes not everything goes perfectly when installing your monitor. This can cause various picture quality issues such as distortion, ghosting, or flickering. These symptoms are often not due to the monitor itself, especially if it is new. This guide will walk you through the various potential causes and how to fix them.
Monitor Display Is Blank
Unless it's on purpose (like a screensaver), a partially or completely blank screen when the monitor's turned on typically indicates that you have a problem.
Monitor Won't Turn On
Before anything else, your monitor must first turn on. If there's no indicator light displaying, check the power switch, check the power cord, and test the outlet.
Lines on the Monitor
Lines on the monitor (of any color, position or opacity) definitely indicate a problem. The problem may be with your video cable and not the monitor itself.
Monitor Turns Black When I Close My Laptop Lid
You're all set up to watch a nice long video on your connected monitor, so you close your laptop, sit back and... Wait, why is the monitor now black? By default, most laptops go to sleep when they are closed, even when an external monitor is connected. However, it's pretty easy to adjust this setting.
