The only time I get a blue screen is if there is no video signal present. If I have video on AV1, then AV2 has a blue screen and vice-versa

William, I'll check on that tomorrow when I'm back at the office. If I forget, just post here again and I should be notified - otherwise shoot me an email. AEB35.75@gmail.com. Regardless, its a great unit - perfect for an additional monitor and very easy to toggle between the TV and external monitor functionalities. Only complaint is the sound is slightly subpar - I'll try to address your question tomorrow, like I said. Cheers!

No it's always blue. You can change the screen backround though they have 5 options, Red, Blue, Palm Trees, City, and i forget the last one.

I hope you can answer this for me. I'm planning on getting this tv due to the awesome reviews, but am curious about connecting it to my PC. My PC tower has the plug for what I'm thinking is called a VGA. It is blue and has 15 pin holes, 3 rows of five. Now, I figure I will have to purchase a special cord to use this tv as a monitor. I'm confused about which is VGA, DVI, and HDMI. What cord do I need to purchase so this will work as a monitor for me? Thanks in advance!

Don't use the monitor's speakers. It's an awesome monitor, but the built in sound is horrible. You need dedicated speakers

You have the choice between two colors Blue or Orange for the user interface screens. You cannot pick different colors for each user interface screen. If you pick blue, then all of the user interface screens will be blue. To change colors you do have to shut the unit off and then back on. There is a manual that you can download online, but it is still pretty vague. The manual does not provide any installation instructions so I had to fumble through it some, and had to figure out how to install the backup camera on my own. It works well though for the price.

There's a "clean display" button that will clear most of the icons (leaves current and desired temps). Also, the blue backlight can be set to always on or timed out. After some testing on my touchscreen...most of this info is always on but you can't see it very well when the backlight times out.

Carol; Yes there is. The monitor control/menu/etc buttons are touch sensitive areas of the front bezel. Its quite neat, really, the slick design that has no visible buttons.

DJ, no, this monitor does not show the sparkling effect. I browse many text articles and scroll through schematic pages with this monitor and I have never had a visual problem with mine. I got it in Nov, 2013 and had two live streaming windows open through the Winter Games in Feb of this year. Watching the biathlon, alpine, and snowslope ski events were fantastic.This monitor replaced a great Samsung that unfortunately succumbed to the capacitor bulge problem, and when I powered this up the first evening I noticed the upper edge does not get as hot like my old monitor did. I like this one and plan on getting a second one when I build my next computer so both my monitors match.Dave DJ, no, this monitor does not show the sparkling effect.

It is blue, but very tiny and unobtrusive (you do not notice it unless you look for it). Everything about this monitor is great, other than not being 2560.

Mine was a new purchase two years ago and has performed better than any of my previous monitors. I would attempt an exchange with your supplier if you had eliminated possible video card, power or cable problems. Good luck, great monitor.

Steven, link me to a 2D scrolling shooter, and I'll snap a picture of this monitor at 90 rotation. Right now just browsing the web I can see a slight haze on the screen. If I look at it at different angles the screen gets dark, but head on it looks nice just not as bright.

There's a little switch in the back if I recall correctly. You need the manual to identify it. I don't remember which one it was. However, you probably don't want to. The feature doesn't work very well. Any ambient noise in the room will activate it, making it practically useless except as a monitor, for which you don't need the switch.

The green cable hooks to your reverse light and will darken your screen if you are not in reverse ( safety feature ) . The monitor will work without the green ( or blue in my case ) hooked up.

Ello Peter ... there's a toggle switch on the front of the monitor ... which honestly I've never used, as I've only ever had one device with it. I've either had my PC plugged into the DVI port - or - now - currently - I'm using it as a short term solution till I figure out which tv I'm going to purchase next. Thanks.
