What if my monitor or TV goes black, during the day?
Occasionally, a Chromebox monitor or the television it is connected with will go black if the screen resolution is not set correctly. Follow these instructions:
- Check the settings for the TV by clicking on the clock in the lower right corner.
- Then at the left, click on “Device” and click on “Displays”.
- If it shows the displays as overlapping, then click on the checkbox to un-mirror the displays.
- The monitor and TV displays will appear side by side on the screen.
- Select the TV display and set the “Resolution” to 1920 x 1080.
- Set the “Refresh Rate” to 50 Hz.
- Check that the monitor’s resolution is also: 1920 x 1080.
- The monitor’s “Refresh Rate” can be: 60Hz.
- If the two device’s were previously mirrored you can click the checkbox to mirror them again.
Please put in a help ticket if the above instructions do not resolve the issue.
