How to install your monitor hardware
If the computer is turned on you must turn it off before continuing.
Do not plug-in or turn-on the power to the monitor until instructed to do so.
1. Attach the monitor base.
Please be careful to prevent damage to the monitor.
Placing the screen surface on an object like a stapler
or a mouse will crack the glass or damage the LCD
substrate voiding your warranty. Sliding or scraping
the monitor around on your desk will scratch or
damage the monitor surround and controls.
Protect the monitor and screen by clearing a flat open area
on your desk and placing a soft item like the monitor
packaging bag on the desk for padding.
Lay the screen face down on a flat clean padded surface.
Whilst holding the monitor firmly against the desk, pull
the monitor stand arm upwards clear of the monitor.
Orient and align the stand base socket with the end of the
stand arm, then push them together until they click and
lock into place.
Gently attempt to pull them back apart to check that they
have properly engaged.
Carefully lift the monitor, turn it over and place it upright
on its stand on a flat even surface.
Y ou should position the monitor and angle the scr een

Getting the most from your BenQ monitor
How do I gain the most benefit from my new monitor?
To gain the most benefit from your new BenQ color LCD flat screen 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 recognise 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 both an automatic (new) or upgrade
(existing) installation follow. See:
• How to install the monitor on a new computer.
• How to upgrade the monitor on an existing computer
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.
