Why when I try to use Picture in Picture (PIP) component video at 480p, 720p, or 1080i, either

no video is displayed or I see corrupted video?

•

This is a normal operation of the monitor. If you want to view component video in PIP, adjust

the video output of your external device to 480i.

Can I connect my game console to this monitor?

•

Yes. Using optional video cables you can connect your game console directly to the monitor.

If your game console supports HDMI or Component (YPbPr), this results in the best picture

quality.
