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. Unpack the monitor and place it on a stable surface.

You should position the monitor and angle the screen to minimize unwanted reflections from other light

sources.

2. Connect the video cable.

Connect one end of the DVI-D cable to the monitor DVI-D socket and the other and to the DVI-D port on your computer.

The DVI-D format is used for direct digital connection between source video and digital LCD monitors or projectors. The digital video signals produce a superior quality picture than analog video signals.

If you don’t have an appropriate DVI-D port on your computer, you can use the standard video D-Sub cable.

Connect the plug of the D-Sub cable (at the end without the ferrite filter) to the monitor D-Sub socket. Connect the other plug of the D-Sub cable (at the end with the ferrite filter) to the computer video D-Sub socket.

Tighten all finger screws to prevent the plugs from accidently falling out during use.

3. Connect the power cable to the monitor.

Plug one end of the power cord into the socket labelled ’POWER IN’ on the rear of the monitor. Do not connect the other end to a power point just yet.

9 How to install your monitor hardware

4. Connect the audio cable.

Optional: Connect an earphone into the earphone jack located on the underside of the control panel as shown.

5. Connect-to and turn-on the power.

Plug the other end of the power cord into a power point and turn it on.

Picture may differ from product supplied for your region.

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.
