Connecting the PC via VGA input

Power off both computer and TV before making any connections.

Connect the VGA cable to the VGA input of your TV and to the 15-pin connector on the rear of your computer.

Tighten the screws on the plugs until the connectors are fastened securely.

If you are using Windows operating system run- ning on a PC with a Microsoft Plug & Play compati- ble video card, your system will select the appro- priate timing for your monitor.

Connecting the PC via DVI (Digital Video Interface) input

To get the best possible picture quality you’ll need to use the DVI sockets on both the TV and your PC. This allows the PC to send a pure digital signal straight from the graphics card to the TFT TV. As DVI-I type socket exists on the TFT TV, use a DVI-D or DVI-I cable for connection.

DDC (Display Date Channel) and EDID (Extended Display Identification Data), which are used for Plug & Play compatibility, are supported.

Hot Plug Detection is not supported.

Low refresh rates like 60Hz and 72Hz should be used and native resolution should be preferred.

The DVI interface does not support HDCP (High bandwidth Digital Content Protection), therefore a HDCP DVD player could not be used.
