Where are these hidden buttons?
Ha ha ha... When I first received my monitor (a year ago or so) and I plugged it in, it didn't work! I was very angry. I cracked it open to see if I could fix it. What I found was that the power button and some others were not visible from the outside, but once I knew they were there they are simple to find.
When I'm facing the screen, the buttons are on the left side of the monitor (the side shown in the following picture) :

There's a green lightbulb sticking out. On one side there is a single hole, and on the other there are 4 holes in the shape of a diamond. I took apart a BIC pen and I use the plastic ink tube to stick in the holes to reach the buttons. The single hole is the power button, and diamond pattern has degauss, and basically up/down/left/right for navigating an on-screen menu for normal monitor adjustments.
