Setting Up Your Monitor
The following are general short steps to setup and use the monitor with your PC under the Microsoft
Windows XP operating system.

After you have installed the base, connect your VGA or DVI cord to both the monitor and PC and
turn on the PC and the monitor.

3. Under Windows, use your mouse to right click on the background with nothing selected. Left click
on the PROPERTIES option. Click on the SETTINGS tab.
4. Under SETTINGS change your resolution to 1920 x 1200 and click on APPLY. (if you are using
DVI as your connection click on OK and you are done, steps 6-10 are unnecessary)
5. Click on ADVANCED button, and then click on MONITOR tab. Under MONITOR make sure your
refresh rate is set to 60 Hz.
6. Click on OK on all windows to exit.
7. On the monitor, press the M button twice in succession to AUTO ADJUST.

some users. Please follow steps 1-5. Afterwards, click on the GENERAL tab. In there you
can change the size of the words by changing from the option from “normal size” to “large size”.
