How to use 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 sur-
face. Detach the monitor base as instructed in “
How to 
detach the stand base on page 10
.”
2. Remove the monitor stand.
Use a a cross-pointed screwdriver to release the screws that 
fixing the monitor stand to the monitor.
The use of a magnetic-head screwdriver is recommended 
to avoid of losing the screws.
Then pull the monitor stand backward away from the 
monitor.
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.

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 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 on page 14. 
•How to upgrade the monitor on an existing computer on page 15 
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.

How to install the monitor on a new computer
This instruction details the procedure for selecting and installing the BenQ LCD Monitor driver 
software on a new computer which has never had a monitor driver installed before. This 
instruction is only suitable for a computer which has never been used before, and for which the 
BenQ LCD Monitor is the first ever monitor to be connected to it.
If you are adding the BenQ LCD Monitor to an existing computer that has already had another monitor 
connected to it (and has monitor driver software installed), you should not be following these instructions. 
You should instead be following the instructions for How to upgrade the monitor on an existing computer.
1. Follow the instructions in How to assemble your monitor hardware on page 7. 
When Windows (2000 or later) 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.
2. Insert the BenQ LCD Monitor CD-ROM into a CD drive on the computer.
3. Check Search for a suitable driver for my device option, and click Next.
4. Check the option for CD-ROM drives (uncheck all others) and click Next.
5. Look to confirm that the wizard has selected the correct name of your monitor as “BenQ 
FP72ES/FP92ES” and click Next.
6. Click Finish.
7. Restart the computer.

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 (and recommended 
only) for Windows 2000 and Windows XP 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 XP system on page 16.
•How to install on Windows 2000 system on page 18.
