Setting Up the Monitor

Connecting the VGA (Analog) or DVI-D (Digital) Cable

Use a VGA video cable or a DVI-D video cable (provided with select models). To use DVI, you must have a DVI-compliant graphic card. Connectors are located on the back of the monitor. Be sure the computer and monitor are turned off and unplugged.

Some graphic cards have both a DVI connector and a DVI-to-VGA converter included in the box (select models only). If the monitor has a VGA connector but no DVI connector, use the DVI-to-VGA converter to connect to the computer: Connect the DVI-to-VGA converter to the DVI connector on the computer graphic card, and then connect the VGA cable to the converter and the monitor.
