Configuring your Monitor
Automatic Setup
The Setup Utility included on the setup diskette is for displaying dot patterns. They do not replace or modify the display
driver.
The Automatic Setup instructions require the
monitor to be warmed up for 15 minutes. This is not required for normal operation.
When you first use your monitor you must perform Automatic Setup (AUTO
SETUP). This procedure sets up your monitor to process the video signals from your computer without image discoloration or smearing. After you perform AUTO SETUP, the settings are stored and used each time you turn on the monitor.

On LCD monitors, unlike CRTs, a faster refresh rate
does not improve display quality. IBM recommends using either 1280 x 1024 at a refresh rate of 60Hz or 640 x 480 at a refresh rate of 60Hz.
To use the Plug and Play feature in Windows 95 or Windows 98, files should be loaded from the IBM Color LCD Monitor Installation diskette as follows:
1.Turn off the computer and all attached devices.
2.Ensure that the monitor is connected correctly.
3.Turn on the monitor and then the system unit. Allow the system to boot into Windows 95 or Windows 98.
Your computer’s Plug and Play code may warn you that your system hardware has changed. This probably means that it has detected your new monitor for the first time.
4.Open the DISPLAY PROPERTIES window by clicking on START, SETTINGS, CONTROL PANEL and then double clicking on the DISPLAY icon.
5.Select the SETTINGS tab.
6.Select the CHANGE DISPLAY TYPE button.
7.Select the CHANGE MONITOR TYPE button.
8.Insert the Setup diskette into drive A: and select the HAVE DISK button.
9.Select OK.
10.Choose IBM T85A monitor and select OK. The files will be copied from the diskette to your hard drive.
11.Close all open windows and remove the diskette.
12.Reboot the system.
The system will automatically select the maximum refresh rate and corresponding Color Matching Profiles.
