Setting Up the Monitor
Before You Begin
1. Unpack the monitor. Make sure all contents are included. Store
the box and packing foam.
2. Ensure that the power is turned off to the monitor, PC system,
and other attached devices (monitor ships in off position).
3. Determine the video cable or cables that you want to connect
from the PC video card outputs to the VGA and DVI-D (select
models only) connectors on the monitor. You can connect one
or both cables.
❏ VGA cable: Standard VGA 15-pin cable.
❏ DVI-D cable (select models only): For digital operation, use
the DVI-D-to-DVI-D video cable provided. The DVI-D cable
supplied with this monitor is for digital-to-digital
connection only. Your PC must have a DVI-compatible
graphics card installed for use with this cable. Your
DVI-compatible graphics card may not support the optimal
monitor resolution. Refer to the documentation that came
with your graphics card.
4. Determine if the monitor is to be desktop-mounted or
wall-mounted. See “Installing the Monitor” in this chapter.
5. Prepare a flat area to use when assembling the monitor. You
may need a flat, soft, protected area for placing the monitor
screen-down while preparing it for wall mounting.
6. You need a Phillips head screwdriver for preparing the monitor
for wall mounting. You may need a straight-slot screwdriver to
secure some cables.
