Samsung SyncMaster 910v 19" LCD Monitor (Black)

hi welcome to Samsung's video how to guides my name is Chris and I'm going to show you how to perform a self test on any Samsung monitor the self test allows you to determine if a video issue is a problem with the monitor or not if you have a black screen or your video is distorted or unclear the issue could be in the monitor but it also could be a setting or a problem in your PC or connection cable the self test allows you to troubleshoot the problem so you can identify where the problem is occurring one thing to remember before we go on the monitor is just a display device the image being displayed is not generated from the monitor but from your PC the monitor simply displays what the computer tells it to display so most of the time the problem is just an improper setting in your computer ok let's perform the self-test just turn your monitor on and make sure it's turned to the input y
