    							  21   How to assemble your monitor hardware
    Using the monitor wall mounting kit
    The back of your LCD monitor has a VESA standard mount with 100mm pattern, allowing the 
    installation of a wall mount bracket. Before starting to install a monitor wall mounting kit, 
    please read the precautions carefully.
    Precautions
    • Install your monitor and monitor mounting kit on a wall with flat surface.
    • Ensure that the wall material is stable to support the weight of the monitor.
    • Turn off the monitor and the power before disconnecting the cables from the LCD monitor.
    1. Remove the monitor stand.
    Lay the screen face down on a clean and well-padded 
    surface. Detach the monitor stand as instructed in step 
    1~2 in How to detach the stand and the base on page 
    16.
    2. Remove the screws on the back cover.
    Use a cross-pointed screwdriver to release the screws 
    on the back cover. The use of a magnetic-head 
    screwdriver is recommended to avoid of losing the 
    screws.
    In case you intend to use your monitor on the stand in the 
    future, please keep the monitor base, monitor stand, and 
    screws somewhere safe for future use.
    3. Follow the instruction manuals of the wall 
    mount bracket you purchased to complete 
    the installation.

    Getting the most from your BenQ monitor
    To gain the most benefit from your new BenQ LCD 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 23.
    • How to upgrade the monitor on an existing computer on page 24.
    • 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.
    • To check the name of the purchased model, refer to the specification label on the back of the monitor.

    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.
    1.  Follow the instructions in Getting the most from your BenQ monitor on page 22. 
    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.
    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.
    To find the suitable driver files for the purchased model, refer to the following table.

    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 8 and Windows 7 Operating System (OS). 
    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. 
    See:
    • How to install on Windows 8 system on page 25.
    • How to install on Windows 7 system on page 26.
    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.

    							30  How to adjust your monitor  
    Picture optimization
    The easiest way to obtain an optimal display from an analog (D-Sub) input is to use the Auto 
    Adjustment
     function. Go to Display and Auto Adjustment to optimize the currently displayed 
    image to the screen.
    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 any of the control keys to bring up the hot key menu. Select 
    Menu to enter the main 
    menu.
    3.  Go to 
    Display and Auto Adjustment.
    4.  If you notice a vertical noise (like a curtain effect-shimmering of vertical lines), select 
    Pixel 
    Clock
     and adjust the monitor until the noise disappears.
    5.  If you notice a horizontal noise, select 
    Phase and adjust the monitor until the noise 
    disappears.
    Customizing the hot keys
    The left 3 control keys (also called custom keys) perform as hot keys to provide direct access 
    to pre-defined functions. You can change the default setting and designate different functions for 
    these keys.
    1.  Press any of the control keys to bring up the hot key menu, and press 
    Menu to access the 
    main menu.
    2.  Go to 
    System.
    3.  Select the custom key you want to change.
    4.  In the sub menu, select a function that can be accessed by this key. A pop-up message will 
    appear, showing that the setup is complete.
    Adjusting display mode
    To display images of aspect ratio other than 16:9 and size other than the panel size of your 
    purchased model, you can adjust the display mode on the monitor.
    1.  Press any of the control keys to bring up the hot key menu, and press 
    Menu to access the 
    main menu.
    2.  Go to 
    Picture Advanced and Display Mode.
    3.  Select an appropriate display mode. The setting will take effect immediately.
    When you connect a digital input signal using a digital (DVI, HDMI, or DP) cable to your monitor, 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 Adjustment function.
