2. Connect the PC video cable

Do not use both DVI-D cable and D-Sub cable on the same PC. The only case in which both cables can be used is if they are connected to two different PCs with appropriate video systems. (Not available for analog-only models).

To Connect the D-Sub Cable

Connect the plug of the D-Sub cable (at the end without the ferrite filter) to the monitor video socket. Connect the other end of the cable (at the end with the ferrite filter) to the computer video socket.

Tighten all finger screws to prevent the plugs from accidently falling out during use.

To Connect the DVI-D Cable

Connect the plug of the DVI-D cable (at the end without the ferrite filter) to the monitor video socket. Connect the other end of the cable (at the end with the ferrite filter) to the computer video socket.

Tighten all finger screws to prevent the plugs from accidently falling out during use.

The DVI-D format is used for direct digital connection

between source video and digital LCD monitors or projectors. The digital video signals produce a superior quality picture than analog video signals.

The video cable included in your package and the socket illustrations on the right may vary depending on the LCD model.

3. Connect the power cable to the monitor.

Plug one end of the power cord into the socket labelled ‘POWER IN’ on the rear of the monitor. Do not connect the other end to a power outlet just yet.
