Connec ting the monit or
Connec ting video inputs
Important
To use the monitor’s full (highest) resolution (2560× 1600), you must use
the included dual-link DVI cable to connect the monitor to a dual-link capable
video card on your computer.
A single-link DVI cable or video card limits resolution to 1920× 1200.
VGA and HDMI connections are also limited to a maximum 1920 × 1200
resolution.
Tip
Because of your monitor’s built-in video processing features, we
recommend that if you use a DVD player that is not high-definition, you should
disable your player’s built-in up conversion and output video at 480i when
possible.
To connect your computer and ot her video sourc es to
your m oni tor:
1Position your computer and the monitor so you can
reach the ba ck o f e ach .
2Make sure that your computer is turned off, then connect
the DVI video cable to the D VI v ideo port (white) on your
computer.
-ORIf your computer has only an analog VGA (blue) port,
connect the VGA video cable to the port.
12
Important
Yo u should not co nnec t t o bot h t he D VI and V GA po rts on t he same
computer at the same time. However, you may connect up to three
computers to the display at the same time using the DVI, VGA, and HDMI
ports and switch between the inputs using the EzTouch controls or
remo te c o nt ro l.
www.gateway.com
3Connect the other end of the video cable to t he matching
video port on the back of your monitor.
OR
4Connect other video source s (such as a D VD play er , vi deo
camera, or video recei ver) t o the appropriat e video jack s
on the back of the monitor.
• For basic video quality, connect your video device’s
COMPOSITE jack to the corresponding jack on the
back of your monitor (cable not included).
• For better video quality, connect your video device’s
S-VIDEO jack to the corresponding jack on the back
of your monitor. (cable not i ncluded)
• For best video quality, connect your video device’s
COMPONENT VIDEO jacks (green Y, bluePb, and
red Pr) or HDMI jacks to the correspon d ing jacks on
the back of your monitor (cables not included).
13
CHAPTER2: Setting Up Your Monitor
Important
When displaying standard-definition video (480i or 480p), you
should set your video source device’s output to 480i. Your monitor has
superior deinte rlacing and v ideo proce ssing f eatures t hat are best utiliz ed
on 480i video.
When displaying high-definition video (720p, 1080i, and 1080p), you
should set your video source device’s output to 1080i fo r b e st
performance.

3Connect other audio sources (such as a DVD player or
audio receiver) to the appropriate audio jacks on the
back of th e mo nito r.
• For basic audio quality, connect your audio source to
the L/R (two-channel stereo) audio in jacks for the
device. Your monitor has L/R stereo jack pairs that
are associated with S-Video, Composite (standard),
and Component video modes (cables not included).
• For best audio perfor mance, if your video connection
uses HDMI, the digital audio is also conveye d along
the same cable, and no additional audio connection
is required. You may need to set your video sour c e’s
audio mode to PCM or ANALOG to hear the audio.
See your source device’s user guide for more
information.

You can connect your monitor to another audio device, such
as an audio receiver, to project the sound.
To connect your monitor to a receiver or other audio
device:
•For basic audio quality, connect your audio device to the
L/R (two-channel ster eo) audio out jac k s on t h e back of

3Plug the AC power cord into the AC power adapter, then
plug the ACpower cord into a power outlet. We
recommend using a surge protector to protect your
mon ito r fro m vo lt age s pi kes.
Caution
Do not block the ventilation openings in the power adapter. Make
sure to place the adapter in a well-ventilated area.
4To make sure that the m onitor ’s power is c orrectly
con necte d, che ck the powe r to uch bu tton on the fron t
button panel. The pow er icon on the power but ton glows
blue when plugged in or amber when no source is
detected. The button glows purple when the monitor is
turned off. If the power ico n is n ot vis ibl e, power is n o t
connected.
18
Important
The first time ACpower is conne cted, the monitor initializes for
about 15seconds. While it is initializing, two of the buttons on the touch
panel flash alternately. The monitor is unresponsive when ACpower is
initially c onn ected. When the butt o ns stop flashing, the monit o r t urns on
and looks for any incoming video signals (see “Star ti n g th e m o n ito r” on
page 28).
Disabling the automatic product tour
The monitor is configured at the factory to automatically begin
playing a brief tour of the product and it’s features whenever
the monitor is turned on and no input signal is present. We

Connec ting the U SB hub
Y our monitor has a built- in, powered, USB 2. 0 6-port hub. When
connected to your computer’s USB port, the hub provides six
USB ports for co nnectin g as many as s ix USB-c ompat ible
devices.
Important
For the monitor’s U SB h ub to provide high-spee d U S B 2.0 connecti ons, the
hub must be connected to a USB2.0 port on your computer. If the hub is
connected to a USB 1.1 port, the monitor’s ports will provide only the slower
USB1.1 connections.
Important
This monitor requires a driver to work correctly. The driver is included on
the EzTune installationCD.
To connect the USB hub:
1T urn on your computer, then install the EzT une s of tw ar e
