We had to have a tech come out because it needs to be calibrated. I have also had the design or part of it disappearing. Mentioned this to engineers at Melco and the suggested I update the video drivers from the computer software web site. It is part of you computer system. Different computers have it in differnt places. Maybe someone who is more computer savey can help. I didn't have the problem on our laptop after working with it tonight. Hope some of this helps.
