CHAPTER 7: Troubleshooting www.gateway.com The color is not uniform ■ Make sure that the monitor warms up for at least 30 minutes before making a final judgment about color uniformity. ■ Make sure that: ■ Non-shielded speakers are not placed too close to the monitor. ■ The monitor is not positioned too close to another monitor, electric fan, fluorescent light, metal shelf, or laser printer. ■ You demagnetize the screen using the monitor's degauss feature. For more information on degauss, see your monitor's documentation. Why is there a horizontal line or wire visible across the monitor screen? Your monitor may use a thin damper wire, located approximately 1/3 of the way down from the upper screen edge and 1/3 of the way up from the lower screen edge, to stabilize the internal aperture grille. These wires are most obvious when the monitor displays a white background. The aperture grille allows more light to pass through the screen for brighter colors and greater luminescence. The damper wire is a critical part of the overall monitor design and does not negatively affect the monitor's function. 116
