Average lifespan
Monitors generally last until the backlight begins to dim or fail. Modern LED and OLED panels offer thousands of hours of screen-on time.
Error: No Signal
The monitor is not receiving video output from the connected device. Check cable connections and ensure the correct input source is selected.
Error: Out of Range
The computer is sending a resolution or refresh rate that the monitor cannot support. Boot the PC in safe mode to lower the display settings.
