Getting the most from your BenQ monitor
To gain the most benet from your new BenQ LCD monitor, you should install the custom BenQ
LCD Monitor driver software as provided on the BenQ LCD Monitor CD-ROM.
The circumstances under which you connect and install your BenQ LCD Monitor will determine
which process you need to follow to successfully install the BenQ LCD Monitor driver software.
These circumstances relate to which version of Microsoft Windows you are using, and whether you
are connecting the monitor and installing the software onto a new computer (without existing
monitor driver software), or whether you are upgrading an existing installation (which already has
existing monitor driver software) with a newer monitor.
In either case however, the very next time you turn on your computer (after connecting the
monitor to your computer), Windows will automatically recognize the new (or different) hardware,
and will launch its Found New Hardware wizard.
Follow the wizard instructions until it asks you to select a monitor model. At that point, click the
Have Disk button, insert the BenQ LCD Monitor CD-ROM and select the appropriate monitor
model. Further details and step-by-step instructions for either an automatic (new) or upgrade
(existing) installation, see:
• "How to install the monitor on a new computer" on 19.
• "How to upgrade the monitor on an existing computer" on 20.
• If you require a User Name and Password to login to your Windows computer, you must be logged on as an
Administrator or as a member of the Administrators group in order to install the monitor driver software.
Furthermore, if your computer is connected to a network which has security access requirements, network
policy settings may prevent you from installing software on your computer.
• To check the name of the purchased model, refer to the specication label on the back of the monitor.

Monitor is the rst ever monitor to be connected to it.
If you are adding the BenQ LCD Monitor to an existing computer that has already had another monitor
connected to it (and has monitor driver software installed), you should not be following these instructions. You
should instead be following the instructions for "How to upgrade the monitor on an existing computer" on
20.
1. Follow the instructions in "Installation" on 6.
When Windows starts, it will automatically detect the new monitor and launch the Found New
Hardware Wizard. Follow the prompts until it displays the option to Install Hardware
Device Drivers.
2. Insert the BenQ LCD Monitor CD-ROM into a CD drive on the computer.
3. Check Search for a suitable driver for my device option, and click Next.
4. Check the option for CD-ROM drives (uncheck all others) and click Next.
5. Look to conrm that the wizard has selected the correct name of your monitor and click Next.
6. Click Finish.
7. Restart the computer.

How to upgrade the monitor on an existing computer
This instruction details the procedure for manually updating the existing monitor driver software on
your Microsoft Windows computer. It is currently tested as compatible for Windows 10, Windows
8.1, Windows 8, and Windows 7 Operating System (OS).
The BenQ LCD Monitor driver for your model may well function perfectly with other versions of Windows,
however, as at the time of writing, BenQ has done no testing of this driver on other versions of Windows and
cannot guarantee its operation on those systems.
Installing monitor driver software involves selecting an appropriate information le (.inf) on the
BenQ LCD Monitor CD-ROM for the particular model monitor you have connected, and letting
Windows install the corresponding driver les from the CD. You need only steer it in the right
direction. Windows has an Upgrade Device Driver Wizard to automate the task and guide you
through the le selection and installation process.

The image is blurred.
• Read the instructions in "Preset display modes" on 28, and then select the correct
resolution, refresh rate and make adjustments based on these instructions.
• Remove the extension cable for the test. It is normal for blurring to occur due to
conduction losses in extension cables. You can minimize these losses by using an extension
cable with better conduction quality or with a built-in booster.
Does the blurring only occur at resolutions lower than the native (maximum) resolution?
Read the instructions in "Preset display modes" on 28. Select the native resolution.
Pixel errors can be seen.

The image has a faulty coloration. It has a yellow, blue or pink appearance.
If the image is still not correct and the OSD also has faulty coloration, this means one of the
three primary colors is missing in the signal input. Now check the signal cable connectors. If
any pin is bent or broken off, please contact your dealer to get necessary support.
No image can be seen.
If the LED is illuminated in blue and there is a message Input Not Support on the screen,
this means you are using a display mode that this monitor does not support, please change
the setting to one of the supported mode. Please read "Preset display modes" on 28.
Faint shadow from the static image displayed is visible on the screen.
• Activate the power management function to let your computer and monitor go into a low
power "sleep" mode when not actively in use.
• Use a screensaver to prevent the occurrence of image retention.
Is the prompt on the display illuminated in orange?
If the LED is illuminated in orange, the power management mode is active. Press any button
on the computer keyboard or move the mouse. If that does not help, check the signal cable
connectors. If any pin is bent or broken off, please contact your dealer to get necessary
support.

input sources, you can use the Image Ratio function to set a proper aspect ratio for the
input sources. See "Image Ratio" on 16 for details.
The image is displaced in one direction.
Read the instructions in "Preset display modes" on 28, and then select the correct
resolution, refresh rate and make adjustments based on these instructions.
