Built-in diagnostics
Your monitor has a built-in diagnostic tool that helps you determine if any screen
abnormality you experience is an inherent problem with your monitor, or with your
computer and video card.
NOTE: You can run the built-in diagnostics only when the video cable
is unplugged and the monitor is in self-test mode.

screen).
2. Unplug the video cable(s) from the back of the computer or monitor. The
monitor then goes into the self-test mode.
