4. Getting the most from your BenQ monitor
To gain the most benefit from your new BenQ color LCD flat screen 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 16.
•How to upgrade the monitor on an existing computer on page 17.
• 
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.

How to upgrade the monitor on an existing computer
This instruction details the procedure for manually updating the existing monitor driver software 
on your Microsoft Windows computer. It is currently tested as compatible for Windows 8, 
Windows 7, and Windows Vista Operating System (OS). 
The BenQ LCD Monitor driver for your model may well function perfectly with other versions of Windows, 
however, as at the time of writing, BenQ has done no testing of this driver on other versions of Windows 
and cannot guarantee its operation on those systems.
Installing monitor driver software involves selecting an appropriate information file (.inf ) on the 
BenQ LCD Monitor CD-ROM for the particular model monitor you have connected, and letting 
Windows install the corresponding driver files from the CD. You need only steer it in the right 
direction. Windows has an Upgrade Device Driver Wizard to automate the task and guide you 
through the file selection and installation process. 
See:
•How to install on Windows 8 system on page 18.
•How to install on Windows 7 system on page 19.
•How to install on Windows Vista systems on page 20.
