Operating the Monitor

CD Software and Utilities

The CD included with this monitor contains two files you can install on your computer:

■An INF (information) file

■An ICM (Image Color Matching) file

This CD also contains the auto-adjustment utility. This single pattern program helps improve the picture quality of your VGA input monitor. See “Using the Auto-Adjustment Function” in this chapter.

Adobe Acrobat Reader is supplied on the CD and can be installed from the menu.

The Information File

This monitor is Windows Plug and Play compatible, and the monitor will work correctly without installing the INF file. The INF file enables the computer to communicate with the monitor and use all the monitor features. The INF file defines monitor resources used by Microsoft Windows® operating systems to ensure monitor compatibility with your computer’s graphics adapter.

Monitor Plug and Play compatibility requires that the computer’s graphics card is VESA DDC2 compliant and that the monitor connects directly to the graphics card. Plug and Play does

not work through separate BNC-type connectors or through distribution buffers or boxes. You may have to install the INF file from the CD if these conditions are not met.
