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.

How to install the monitor on a new computer
This instruction details the procedure for selecting and installing the BenQ LCD Monitor driver
software on a new computer which has never had a monitor driver installed before. This
instruction is only suitable for a computer which has never been used before, and for which the
BenQ LCD Monitor is the first 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.
1. Follow the instructions in How to install the monitor hardware.
When Windows (2000 or later) 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 confirm that the wizard has selected the correct name of your monitor as "BenQ
FP556ms/FP567s_v2" and click Next.
6. Click Finish.
7. Restart the computer.
