4. Introduction

5. Hardware Installation

Thank you for purchasing an eMachines LCD monitor. We’re sure that you’ll be
pleased with the outstanding quality, reliability and performance of your new LCD
monitor. The following are some of the major advantages of your new eMachines LCD
monitor.:

• An LCD monitor has low radiation and less flicker than compared to traditional CRT
monitor.

• Your LCD monitor weights only 7.55 lbs (3.42 Kgs), and its compact size requires only
minimal desktop space. This means that your LCD monitor is easy to transport and
can be used on the most cluttered of desktops. Note: always protect the LCD glass
screen when transporting. Please save the original packaging for transporting longer
distances or for shipping.

• Your LCD monitor operates on low power consumption level … this translates into
savings on power bills and of the Earth’s resources.

• The special design of the LCD cabinet is both ergonomic and attractive … it fits in with
any decor.

• Using an LCD monitor is the same as the CRT monitor. There is no need to change
the hardware of your computer, just plug it in and go. Please see section 5. Hardware
Installation on page 6 for full details.

This chapter will guide you thru the correct installation procedures of your LCD monitor.

5-1. Unpacking

After you unpack your LCD Monitor, please make sure that the following items are included
in the carton and in good condition. If you find that any of these items are damaged or
missing, please contact your dealer immediately.

• One LCD Monitor mounted on its stand with video cable

• AC/DC adapter with 12V DC output

• AC power cord

• The User’s Manual

• Warranty Card

5-2. Installation

This analog LCD display does not require any special drivers. Necessary drivers are
supplied by the video card manufacturer and may be found on the diskettes supplied with
the video card that came with your computer. Windows XP / ME / 2000 drivers for both the
display and the video card are supplied on the Windows XP / ME / 2000 CD or diskettes.
Unfortunately, Microsoft does not provide a complete listing of the display manufacturers in
the operating system. You may use the standard XGA (1024X768@60) as the display type
when asked by the operating system. The video card must also be set up correctly in
Windows XP / ME / 2000 and make sure the video output of the VGA card is on the list in
Section 6.1 or check your Video Card manual or Windows XP / ME / 2000. Please see the
Windows read me file for further information on Video Card settings. You are now ready to
connect your new LCD Monitor to your computer.
