How to detach the stand base
1. Prepare the monitor and area.
Turn off the monitor and the power before unplugging 
the power cable. Turn off the computer before 
unplugging the monitor signal cable.
Protect the monitor and screen by clearing a flat open 
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. 
2. Release the thumbscrew on the bottom of 
the monitor base and detach the monitor

Adjusting the monitor height
If you prefer to lower the monitor stand height, push 
the stand downward while holding both left and right 
sides of the monitor.
• Avoid placing hands near the bottom of the monitor stand as 
the descending stand might cause personal injuries. Keep 
children out of reach of the monitor while performing this 
operation.
• If the monitor has been rotated to portrait mode and height adjustment is desired, you 
should be noted that the wide screen will keep the monitor from being lowered to its 
minimum height.
To extend the monitor stand to a higher position, press 
the lower part of the height release on the stand while 
holding the bottom of the monitor at the same time. 
And pull the stand and the monitor upward together 
to the desired height.

Rotating the monitor
1. Pivot the display.
Before rotating the monitor with a portrait viewing orientation, the display has to be rotated 90 
degrees.
Right-click the desktop and select 
Screen resolution from the popup menu. Select Portrait in 
Orientation, and apply the setting.
Depending on the operating system on your PC, different procedures should be followed to adjust the screen 
orientation. Refer to the help document of your operating system for details.
2. Fully extend the monitor and tilt it.
Gently lift the display up and extend it to the maximum 
extended position. Then tilt the monitor.
The monitor should be vertically extended to allow to rotate 
from landscape to portrait mode.
3. Rotate the monitor 90 degrees clockwise as 
illustrated.
To avoid the edge of the LCD display hitting the monitor base 
surface while it is being rotated, do tilt and extend the monitor 
to the highest position before you start to rotate the display. You 
should also make sure there are no obstacles around the monitor 
and there is enough room for cables.

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 stand as instructed in step 
1~2 in How to detach the stand base on page 13.
2. Remove the monitor stand.
Use a cross-pointed screwdriver to release the screws 
on the back cover. The use of a magnetic-head 
screwdriver is recommended to avoid of losing the 
screws.
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.
3. Follow the instruction manuals of the wall mount bracket you purchased to 
complete the installation.

Getting the most from your BenQ monitor
To gain the most benefit from your new BenQ LCD 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 recognize 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 either an automatic (new) or 
upgrade (existing) installation, see:
• How to install the monitor on a new computer on page 20.
• How to upgrade the monitor on an existing computer on page 21.
• 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.
• To check the name of the purchased model, refer to the specification label on the back of the monitor.

BenQ LCD Monitor is the first ever monitor to be connected to it.
1.  Follow the instructions in Getting the most from your BenQ monitor on page 19. 
When Windows starts, it will automatically detect the new monitor and launch the Found New 
Hardware Wizard. Follow the prompts until it displays the option to Install Hardware Device 
Drivers.
