Q&A
Q1. What is the difference between SmartManage, SmartControl?
A. SmartManage is a remote management/control software for IT managers to manage monitors
across the network
SmartControl is a control panel extension, which helps users to adjust monitor performances and
settings by a software interface, instead of the hardware buttons at the front bezel of the monitors.
Q2. I change the monitor on a PC to a different one and the SmartControl becomes un-usable, what
do I do?
A. Restart your PC and see if SmartControl can work. Otherwise, you will need to remove and re-
install SmartControl to ensure proper driver is installed.
Q3. The SmartControl functions well at the beginning, but it is not workable, what can I do?
A. If the following actions were executed, the monitor driver may need to be re-installed.
●
Change video graphic adapter to another one

Activities on OS, such as service pack or patch
●
Run Windows Update and updated monitor and/or video driver
