✎Depending on the content of the screen, at times the shadows of two small horizontal lines may appear on the screen. This is not a defect and is normal for all aperture grille type displays. The shadows are two damper wires that reduce the monitor's susceptibility to vibration.
Universal Driver Manager
This monitor may require a graphics driver (and/or .INF file) that is compatible with your computer’s graphics adapter. A CD-ROM containing an .INF file is included with this monitor (see the section on Information Files). Compaq has also created a Universal Driver Manager (UDM) release that supports all graphics adapters found on Compaq Deskpro and Compaq Workstation products. The UDM eases graphics driver deployment across Compaq platforms ensuring cross- compatibility and backward-compatibility. The resulting solution enables customers to manage and control ongoing software maintenance costs. The UDM is available on the Compaq Support Software CD for Compaq Desktop, Portable, and Workstation Products and the Compaq web site (www.compaq.com).
Information Files
This monitor includes a CD-ROM with two information files that should be installed onto your computer—an .INF file and an .ICM file. The
.INF file defines monitor resources and provides specifications used by Microsoft Windows 95/98 to install support software for certain hardware devices. The .INF file ensures monitor compatibility and optimization with your computer’s graphics adapter.
The .ICM file provides color matching consistency from monitor screen to printer and is activated from within the graphics programs that have this feature. To install these files on your computer, insert the Compaq CD-ROM into the computer's CD tray and follow the instructions from the menu that appears on the monitor screen. The CD-ROM is located in the Program License Agreement packet. INF file updates are downloadable by clicking on: www.compaq.com/products/monitors/index.html
