Operating the Monitor

Selecting Video Input Connectors

The input connectors are:

■VGA connector (analog)

■DVI-D connector (digital)

■HDMI connector (digital)

The monitor automatically determines which inputs have valid video signals, and displays the image.

You can connect the VGA cable, the DVI-D cable, or both. If both cables are installed, the default input selection is DVI. The HDMI cable is in place of the DVI-D cable. The source of input can be switched using the Switch Video Input option in the OSD menu. Switching from a VGA to an HDMI input source may take several seconds.

Special messages appear on the monitor screen for the following monitor conditions:

■Input Signal Out of Range — Indicates the monitor does not support the video card’s input signal because its resolution or refresh rate are set higher than the monitor supports.
