Setting up Your Monitor
Plug and Play
Our adoption of the new VESA® Plug and Play solution eliminates complicated and time
consuming setup. It allows you to install your monitor in a Plug and Play compatible system
without the usual hassles and confusion. Your PC system can easily identify and configure
itself for use with your display. This monitor automatically tells the PC system its Extended
Display Identification (EDID) data using Display Data Channel (DDC) protocols so the PC
system can automatically configure itself to use the flat panel display. If your PC system
needs a video driver, following the instructions given below according to the operating
system your computer uses.
Installing the Video Driver
When prompted by the operating system for the monitor driver, insert the Driver diskette
included with this monitor. Driver installation is slightly different from one operating system
to another. Follow the directions as appropriate for the operating system you have.
Windows® 2000 and Windows® 98
Windows® 2000 and Windows® 98 will auto-detect your new monitor and start the
