How to install your monitor hardware
If the computer is turned on you must turn it off before continuing. 
Do not plug-in or turn-on the power to the monitor until instructed to do so. 
1. Attach the monitor base.
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. 
Protect the monitor and screen by clearing a flat open area
on your desk and placing a soft item like the monitor
packaging bag on the desk for padding.
Lay the screen face down on a flat clean padded surface.
Whilst holding the monitor firmly against the desk, pull
the monitor stand arm upwards clear of the monitor. 
Orient and align the stand base  socket with the end of the
stand arm, then push them together until they click and
lock into place. 
Gently attempt to pull them back apart to check that they
have properly engaged.
Carefully lift the monitor, turn it over and place it upright
on its stand on a flat even surface.
You should position the monitor and angle the screen 
to minimize unwanted refl ections from other light 
sources.

2. Connect the video cable.   
Connect one end of the DVI-D cable to the monitor 
DVI-D socket and the other end to the DVI-D port on 
your computer. (optional)
The DVI-D format is used for direct digital connection 
between source video and digital LCD monitors or 
projectors. The digital video signals produce a 
superior quality picture than analog video signals.
If you don’t have an appropriate DVI-D port on your 
computer, you can use the standard video D-Sub cable. 
Connect the plug of the D-Sub cable (at the end without 
the ferrite filter) to the monitor D-Sub socket. Connect 
the other plug of the D-Sub cable (at the end with the 
ferrite filter) to the computer video D-Sub socket. 
Tighten all finger screws  to prevent the plugs from 
accidently falling out during use.
3. Connect the power cable to the monitor.
Plug one end of the power cord into the socket labelled
’POWER IN’ on the rear of the monitor. Do not connect
the other end to a power point just yet.

4. Route the cables via the loose bracket.
Release the cable retaining clip by squeezing the clip
inwards as illustrated. Position the cables together and
reinsert the clip over them to retain the cables neatly in
place behind the monitor stand.
5. Connect-to and turn-on the power.
Plug the other end of the power cord into a power point
and turn it on.
Turn on the monitor by pressing the power button on the
front of the monitor. 
Turn on the computer too, and follow the instructions in
Section 4: 
Getting the most from your BenQ monitor to install
the monitor software.

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.
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. 
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.
2. Release the locking clip on one side of the stand base 
whilst pulling the edge of the base away from the 
stand arm.
3. Release the other locking clip to detach the stand base 
from the monitor stand arm.

Getting the most from your BenQ monitor
How do I gain the most benefit from my new 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 recognise 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 both an automatic (new) or upgrade 
(existing) installation follow. See:
•How to install the monitor on a new computer. 
•How to upgrade the monitor on an existing computer 
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.
