Troubleshooting 

Problem Possible 

Solution

 

No image appears 
on the screen. 

 

Check that all the power cord connections are secure. 

 

Check that the power buttons on the side and front of 

both monitors are switched on and that the power 
indicator light is green. 

 

Check that the DVI cables are securely fastened to the 

graphics card, the mirror-flip PCI card, and the two 
monitors. 

 

Make sure that the pins of the DVI connectors are not  

bent or broken. 

Partial image  
or incorrectly 
displayed image. 

 

Check to see if the resolution of the computer/graphics 

card is higher than that of the LCD panels (1920 x 1200). 

 

Check to see that the output timing of the video signals  

is within the synchronous range of the LCD panels 
(horizontal: 31 – 93 kHz; vertical: 50 – 76 Hz).  The “Input 
Not Supported” message appears on the screen if the 
timing is not supported by the LCD panel. 

Both displays work 
but there is no 
stereo functionality. 

Be certain the graphics card is properly set up for the dual-
monitor stereo mode.  If you are using a professional 
application, make sure that OpenGL settings are enabled.  
Refer to the owner’s manual for the graphics card.   

The stereoscopic 
image appears to 
be inverted. 

Be certain the video cable to the bottom display is the left 
channel and the cable to the top display is the right channel.  
Also make sure that the image sent to the top monitor is 
mirror-flipped either by software or the mirror-flip PCI card.   

Only one display is 
showing an image. 

Be certain that your graphics card is configured for two 
monitors.  Use clone mode, horizontal span (also called 
stretch mode), or dual-monitor mode configuration.  Be  
sure that all video cables are securely connected.
