Monitor has fast moving color bands. Unplugging has not helped, restarting computer has not helped

Hi there, the mode the unit is in is like self test. Try first to disconnect vga cable from pc and see if the there is notification "no signal" poping -up to see if the problem is not graphics. Anyway you can try to disconnect power cord from monitor and wait a while then try again power it on. If all this doesnt help it will be more then good advice to RMA it if still in warranty. Tnx

You can use this pixel test, this test for dead pixels, but it will also help with stuck pixels,move through the colors, look at each color to see if the line remains on each color, then switch between colors as fast as you can, do this at least 5 times cycling through the colors. If this does not help I think you will have to go to the MFG website and check your warranty. If you don't have one or it's expired and you end up buying a new one, make sure you check newegg.com, one of the best places around for computer parts.

The monitor is entering "standby" mode.

Check that the video cables are connected properly and secured with the screws.

unplug the vga cable from the back of the monitor while the poewr to the monitor is on and look for the band of colors it will move around the screen it will give red, green,blue and white color if they are the proper colors all over the screen that means the monitor is fine the problem is with the video card or the cable and, if the monitor does not gives proper color replace the monitor... any queries revertt back

This is heat, and is a common problem; it affects two of mine. You can verify this by having a can of Dustoff available and catching it when it first starts. Blow in at the top of the monitor through the holes in the back in the same region as the band. The color aberration should go away.

My solution was to make a shroud from black foamcore and use a spare power supply fan to blow air into the case at the top. This has worked for my two monitors for about 18 months. You can also just buy a 12v computer cooling fan for this purpose.Should be somewhere around 75mm in size and quiet, 'cuz you'll be putting up with it if it's not.You can either get a general 12v power supply, or an adapter that fits the 12v power out at the back next to the USB input connector.

I had a somewhat similar problem. Mine was still under warranty. bad news is that x2gens parent company just filed for chapter 11. which is why their RMA website is unresponsive. I bought mine through a 3rd party retailer who refunded the entire purchase price of the monitor. HELL YEAH! Good luck unloading all ur x2gen stuff when it craps out cuz all warranties are essentially useless now.

turn the monitor off and the computer off. unplug it from the wall. let set for 10 sec. make sure you have it in the right place and in all the way. turn computer back on, then the monitor.
