6 How to assemble your monitor hardware 3. How to assemble 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. Connect the PC video cable Do not use both DVI-D cable and D-Sub cable on the same PC. The only case in which both cables can be used is if they are connected to two different PCs with appropriate video systems. 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. 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. The video cable included in your package and the socket illustrations on the right may vary depending on the LCD model. Either or 2. 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 outlet just yet. 3. Route the cables via the cable clip.

10 Getting the most from your BenQ monitor 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 website (http://www.benq.com/support). See Downloading the LCD Monitor driver files from the Internet on page 10 for details. 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. 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 11. •How to upgrade the monitor on an existing computer on page 12. 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. Downloading the LCD Monitor driver files from the Internet 1. Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet. 2. Visit BenQ website (http://www.benq.com/support). 3. Select the country/region you are located in to visit the specific support website. 4. Select LCD Monitor in Downloads. 5. Select your LCD Monitor model. 6. In the Drivers category, download the correct driver files to your computer. 7. On your computer, have your driver files extracted into an empty folder. Remember the file location the files are extracted to. The website layout and content may vary by region/country.
