Question 1

the stand for my amazon basics monitor feels wobbly, did i put it together wrong?

Accepted Answer

Attach the base correctly. First, place the monitor face-down on a soft surface. Push the support arm onto the support base. Slide the top of the support arm into the slot on the back of the monitor. You should hear a click when it's properly connected. If it's still wobbly after a confirmed click, the connection may be faulty. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.

Question 2

Avoid pressing on the LCD screen. Excessively forceful pressing can cause permanent damage. Do not remove the case or attempt any repairs yourself. All maintenance should be performed by an authorized technician. For specific cleaning instructions, refer to the online User Manual.

Question 3

is it safe to put my amazon basics monitor near a window? i have limited desk space.

Accepted Answer

No, don't put it near a window. Exposure to direct sunlight, rain, or moisture can cause serious damage. This monitor is intended for dry indoor areas only. Also, make sure you don't cover the ventilation openings at the back with anything like papers or curtains. It needs airflow.

Question 4

amazon basics monitor screen is black but power light is on, no signal from my pc. how do i fix this?

Accepted Answer

First, turn off both your computer and monitor and unplug their power cords. Check your connection type. For the best quality, use a DisplayPort cable (not included). For better quality, use the included HDMI cable. For good quality, use a VGA cable (not included). If you use VGA, you must also connect a 3.5 mm AUX cable from the monitor's AUDIO IN jack to your computer to get sound. Reconnect all power cords, then turn everything back on. The monitor should switch to the correct source automatically. If it doesn't, you may need to manually select the input source in the monitor's menu under System > Input.

Question 5

my amazon basics monitor won't turn on at all, just completely dead. what's wrong?

Accepted Answer

Use only the power adapter that came with the monitor. Check the connection from the power adapter to the monitor's power jack and the wall outlet. To turn it on, briefly press the control button. For the 27-inch model only, you must connect the separate power cord to the power adapter first. If the power cord or adapter is damaged, do not use the monitor. Unplug it and contact an authorized technician.
