  Fuzzy lines or blurry images on your Lenovo monitor can often be resolved by optimizing your image setup. Adjust the resolution settings on your system to match the native resolution for this monitor: 1920x1080 at 60 Hz. Also, perform automatic image setup. If automatic image setup does not help, perform manual image setup. When working in the native resolution, you may find additional improvements by adjusting the Dots Per Inch (DPI) setting on your system.

  If the image is not acceptable when switching your Lenovo monitor to dual mode, it might be because the optimum resolution for each mode hasn't been set. Use ThinkVision Duo software to optimize the dual screen operation. If that does not work, adjust graphic card resolution manually.

  If your Lenovo monitor displays 'Out of Range' and the power indicator is flashing green, the system is set to a display mode not supported by the monitor. If replacing an old monitor, reconnect it and adjust the display mode to within the specified range for your new monitor. If using a Windows system, restart the system in safe mode, then select a supported display mode for your computer. If these options do not work, contact the Customer Support Centre.
