Plug and Play
Our adoption of the new VESA® plug and Play solution eliminates complicated and time
consuming setup. It allows you to install your monitor in a Plug and Play compatible system
without the usual hassles and confusion. Your PC system can easily identify and configure
itself for use with your monitor. This monitor automatically tells the PC system its
Extended Display Identification (EDID) data using Display Data Channel (DDC) protocols so
the PC system can automatically configure itself and optimize the monitor settings. If
desired, the user can select different settings, but in most cases, monitor installation is
automatic.
