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. Attach the monitor base.
Please be careful to prevent damage to the monitor.
Placing the screen surface on an object like a stapler or a mouse will crack the glass or damage the LCD substrate voiding your warranty. Sliding or scraping the monitor around on your desk will scratch or damage the monitor surround and controls.
Protect the monitor and screen by clearing a flat open area on your desk and placing a soft item like the monitor packaging bag on the desk for padding.
Gently lay the screen face down on a flat clean padded surface.
While holding the monitor firmly against the desk, pull the monitor stand arm upwards clear of the monitor.
Orient and align the stand base socket with the end of the stand arm, then push them together until they click and lock into place.
Gently attempt to pull them back apart to check that they have properly engaged.
Carefully lift the monitor, turn it over and place it upright on its stand on a flat even surface.
You should position the monitor and angle the screen to minimize unwanted reflections from other light sources.

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 LCD Monitor CD-ROM.
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 until it asks you to select a monitor model. At that point, click the
Have Disk button, insert the BenQ LCD Monitor CD-ROM and select the appropriate monitor model. 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 13
.
•
How to upgrade the monitor on an existing computer on page 14 .
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.

How to install the monitor on a new computer
This instruction details the procedure for selecting and installing the BenQ LCD Monitor driver software on a new computer which has never had a monitor driver installed before. This instruction is only suitable for a computer which has never been used before, and for which the
BenQ LCD Monitor is the first ever monitor to be connected to it.
If you are adding the BenQ LCD Monitor to an existing computer that has already had another monitor connected to it (and has monitor driver software installed), you should not be following these instructions.
You should instead be following the instructions for How to upgrade the monitor on an existing computer.
1. Follow the instructions in
How to assemble your monitor hardware on page 7 .
When Windows starts, it will automatically detect the new monitor and launch the Found New
Hardware Wizard . Follow the prompts until it displays the option to Install Hardware Device
Drivers .
2. Insert the BenQ LCD Monitor CD-ROM into a CD drive on the computer.
3. Check Search for a suitable driver for my device option, and click Next .
4. Check the option for CD-ROM drives (uncheck all others) and click Next .
5. Look to confirm that the wizard has selected the correct name of your monitor and click
Next .
6. Click Finish .
7. Restart the computer.

How to upgrade the monitor on an existing computer
This instruction details the procedure for manually updating the existing monitor driver software on your Microsoft Windows computer. It is currently tested as compatible for Windows XP,
Windows Vista, and Windows 7 Operating System (OS).
The BenQ LCD Monitor driver for your model may well function perfectly with other versions of Windows, however, as at the time of writing, BenQ has done no testing of this driver on other versions of Windows and cannot guarantee its operation on those systems.
Installing monitor driver software involves selecting an appropriate information file (.inf) on the
BenQ LCD Monitor CD-ROM for the particular model monitor you have connected, and letting
Windows install the corresponding driver files from the CD. You need only steer it in the right direction. Windows has an Upgrade Device Driver Wizard to automate the task and guide you through the file selection and installation process.

5. Picture optimization
The easiest way to obtain an optimal display from an analog (D-Sub) input is to use the AUTO key function. Press the AUTO key to optimize the currently displayed image to the screen.
When you connect a digital video output using a digital (DVI) cable to your monitor, the AUTO key and the Auto Adjustment function will be disabled, because the monitor will automatically display the best image.
Please ensure that the connected graphic card on your computer is set to the native resolution of the monitor when you use the AUTO key function.
If you wish, you can always adjust the screen geometric settings manually using geometry menu items. To assist you in this endeavour, BenQ has provided a screen test image utility which you can use to check for screen color, grayscale and line gradient display.
1. Run the test program auto.exe from CD-ROM. You could also use any other image, such as the desktop of your operating system. However, we recommend that you use auto.exe. As you run auto.exe, a test pattern displays.
2. Press the AUTO key on the monitor.
3. Press the MENU key to access the monitor On-Screen Display (OSD) menu.
4. Use the or keys to select DISPLAY and press the ENTER key to enter the menu.
5. If you notice a vertical noise (like a curtain effect-shimmering of vertical lines), press the or keys to select Pixel Clock and press the ENTER key. Then press the or keys to adjust the monitor until the noise disappears.
6. If you notice a horizontal noise, press the or keys to select Phase and press the
ENTER key. Then press the or keys to adjust the monitor until the noise disappears.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
The image is blurred:
Read the instructions on the link "Adjusting the Screen Resolution" on the CD, and then select the correct resolution, refresh rate and make adjustments based on these instructions.
How do you use a VGA extension cable?
Remove the extension cable for the test. Is the image now in focus? If not, optimize the image by working through the instructions in the "Adjusting the refresh rate" section on the link "Adjusting the Screen Resolution". It is normal for blurring to occur due to conduction losses in extension cables. You can minimize these losses by using an extension cable with better conduction quality or with a built-in booster.
Does the blurring only occur at resolutions lower than the native (maximum) resolution?
Read the instructions on the link "Adjusting the Screen Resolution" on the CD.
Select the native resolution.
Pixel errors can be seen:
One of several pixels is permanently black, one or more pixels are permanently white, one or more pixels are permanently red, green, blue or another color.
• Clean the LCD screen.
• Cycle power on-off.
• These are pixels that are permanently on or off and is a natural defect that occurs in LCD technology.
The image has a faulty coloration:
It has a yellow, blue or pink appearance.
Select MENU > PICTURE > Color > Reset Color, and then choose “YES” in the “Caution” message box to reset the color settings to the factory defaults.
If the image is still not correct and the OSD also has faulty coloration, this means one of the three primary colors is missing in the signal input. Now check the signal cable connectors. If any pin is bent or broken off, please contact your dealer to get necessary support.
No image can be seen:
