The picture color is wrong or too dark on Samsung monitor

Lines on the monitor or Odyssey Ark gaming screen (of any color, position, or opacity) definitely indicate a problem. However, the issue may be with your video cable and not the monitor itself.

If there's no indicator light displaying, check the power switch, check the power cord, and test the outlet. Unfortunately, this basic troubleshooting is the only way to try to fix the issue yourself. If this doesn't help the monitor turn on, then it will need service.

Many newer monitors include built-in speakers. If the monitor's speakers are not working, it's usually due to incorrectly configured settings or cables. There are a few things you can do to solve this issue, like checking your connections, adjusting the volume, performing a sound test, or playing sound using a device other than your monitor.

The most common reason for a blank monitor or Odyssey Ark gaming screen is that it's turned off, it's hibernating, or it's using a screen saver. Assuming that's not the case, you'll need to identify if the problem is with the monitor or with the connected device.

Text on your monitor should be clear and easy to read, but if it's not, various settings can help fix the problem, as well as reconnecting or replacing your video cables.
