How to watch 3D content on your monitor
Your monitor supports playing three-dimensional (3D) content transferred through DVI-D Dual 
Link cable. Yet you need to have the appropriate hardware equipment and software programs that 
are compatible with 3D playback.
System requirements
• BenQ LCD Monitor XL2410T
• Compatible 3D glasses
• PC with Microsoft Windows Vista or Windows 7 Operating System
• Compatible graphics processing units (GPU) with the latest driver files or the drivers on the 
provided NVIDIA driver CD installed
• Compatible software programs that play 3D playback
For the compatible accessories, visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-requirements.html. 
For the appropriate 3D players, check with the 3D content providers.
Safety information for watching 3D content
• You may experience eye strain after watching 3D content for certain period of time. Take off the 
3D glasses (purchased separately) and take a rest to relieve the eye strain.
• If you experience headaches, dizziness, or nausea, stop watching 3D content immediately. You 
might need to consult a doctor if the symptoms last.
• Watching 3D content for a long period of time may increase health risks. For small children, the 
elderly, the pregnant women or people who have high blood pressure or other health concerns, 
consult a doctor before watching 3D content.
Not all menu options are available for 3D playback.
• Contact NVIDIA or visit NVIDIA website (http://www.nvidia.com/page/home.html) for the 
purchase and the settings of the compatible GPU.
• Visit the NVIDIA website for the latest GPU driver files.

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 or HDMI) 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.
