Vertical bands, static, or noise appear in the image. What should I do?

• If the projected image seems to contain electronic interference (noise) or static, try the following solutions:

  • Check the cables connecting your computer or video source to the projector. They should be:
    • Separated from the power cord to prevent interference
    • Securely connected at both ends
    • Not connected to an extension cable
  • Adjust the Noise Reduction setting in the projector's Picture menu.
  • Select a computer video resolution and refresh rate that are compatible with the projector.
  • If you adjusted the image shape using the projector controls, try decreasing the Sharpness setting in the Picture menu to improve image quality.
  • Make sure you selected the correct EDID setting in the projector's Picture menu.
  • If you connected an extension power cable, try projecting without it to see if it caused interference in the signal.
  • Try turning on Frame Interpolation in the Picture menu.
