Q:What does "refresh rate" mean to me in an LCD monitor?

Q:What are the .inf and .icm files on the setup disk & CD-ROM? How do I install the drivers (.inf and

.icm)?

A:These are the driver files for your monitor. Follow the instructions in your user manual to install

the drivers. You computer may ask you for monitor drivers (.inf and .icm files) or a driver disk when you first install your monitor. Follow the instructions to insert the driver disk (either floppy or CD-ROM) included in this package. Monitor drivers (.inf and .icm files) will be installed automatically.
