This Operating Manual contains important information you require to start up and run your LCD
monitor.
A screen controller with VGA interface is required to control the S7 LCD monitor. The monitor
processes the data supplied to it by the screen controller. The screen controller/the associated
driver software is responsible for setting the modes (resolution and refresh rate).
When putting the monitor into operation for the first time, the screen display should be optimally
adapted to the screen controller used and adjusted in accordance with your needs (see the
"Changing the monitor settings" section in the "Operation of the monitor" chapter).
Target group
You don't need to be an "expert" to perform the operations described here. Do, however, read the
chapter "Important notes" in the Operating Manual of the computer and in this Operating Manual.
In the event of any problems occurring, please contact your sales outlet or our Help Desk.
Further information
Details of how you set the resolution and refresh rate are provided in the documentation on your
screen controller/the associated driver software.
