Using Your Monitor

This chapter contains information about using your LCD Monitor.

Installing the Drivers

The monitor comes with driver software allowing you to take advantage of the Plug and Play feature of the Microsoft® Windows® Me, Windows 2000, or Windows XP operating system. This software enables the computer to communicate with the monitor and use all the monitor features. Without this software, the monitor settings and display images will not be correct.

NOTE: HP computers may come with the Plug and Play drivers preinstalled. If you have an older computer, these drivers may not be preinstalled and you may need to install the drivers from the CD-ROM disc that came with the monitor.

You can also download the latest version of a driver from the HP Monitors Support Web site. Go to http://www.hp.com and click the Support link.

If the monitor driver installation procedure differs from the steps provided here, or if you need more detailed installation information, please refer to the Microsoft Windows information that came with the computer.
