To Connect the HDMI Cable
Connect the plug of the HDMI cable to one of the two 
HDMI ports on the monitor. Connect the other end of 
the cable to the HDMI port of a digital output device.
 If there is more than one video transmission method available 
to you, you might want to take the picture quality of each 
video cable into consideration before making the connection.
- Better quality: HDMI / DVI-D
- Good quality: D-Sub
 The video cables included in your package and the socket 
illustrations on the right may vary depending on the product 
supplied for your region.
3. Connect the audio cable (for models with 
speakers).
Connect the audio cable between the socket on the 
rear of the monitor (Line In) and your computer audio 
outlet. 
You may connect headphones to the headphone jack 
found next to the Line In jack of the monitor.
 Location of the Line In and headphone jacks may vary by 
model. Check Input and output ports on page 8 for details.

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

Turn off the monitor and the power before unplugging 
the power cable. Turn off the computer before 
unplugging the monitor signal cable.

area on your desk and placing a soft item like a towel on 
the desk for padding, before laying the screen face down 
on a flat clean padded surface.
 Please be careful to prevent damage to the monitor. Placing 
the screen surface on an object like a stapler or a mouse will 
crack the glass or damage the LCD substrate voiding your 
warranty. Sliding or scraping the monitor around on your 
desk will scratch or damage the monitor surround and 
controls.

Using the monitor wall mounting kit
The back of your LCD monitor has a VESA standard mount with 100mm pattern, allowing the 
installation of a wall mount bracket. Before starting to install a monitor wall mounting kit, 
please read the precautions carefully.
Precautions:
• Install your monitor and monitor mounting kit on a wall with flat surface.
• Ensure that the wall material is stable to support the weight of the monitor.
• Turn off the monitor and the power before disconnecting the cables from the LCD monitor.
1. Remove the monitor base.
Lay the screen face down on a clean and well-padded 
surface. 
Detach the monitor base as instructed in How to 
detach the base on page 13.
 In case you intend to use your monitor on the stand in the 
future, please keep the monitor base, monitor stand, and 
screws somewhere safe for future use.
2. Follow the instruction manuals of the wall 
mount bracket you purchased to complete 
the installation.
