To connect a PC, Macintosh or compatible graphics adapter, simply:

2.If your PC does not support SXGA/XGA/SVGA/VGA you will need to install an SXGA/XGA/SVGA/ VGA graphics board. Consult your computer’s owner’s manual for your SXGA/XGA/SVGA/VGA configuration. If you need to install a new board, see the manual that comes with your new graphics board for installation instructions.

3.This plasma monitor provides signal compatibility up to VESA 1600 x 1200 (UXGA). However, it is not recommended to use this resolution due to image readability on the monitor’s native pixel resolution panel.

4.Use the signal cable to connect your PC or Macintosh computer to the plasma monitor. For Macintosh, use the monitor adapter to connect to your computer’s video port, if necessary.

5.Turn on the plasma monitor and the computer.

6.If the plasma monitor goes blank after a period of inactivity, it may be caused by a screen saver installed on the computer you’ve connected to the plasma monitor.

When using a Macintosh with the plasma monitor, the following four display standards are supported using the Macintosh adapter: (1) 13” fixed mode; (2) 16” fixed mode; (3) 19” fixed mode; (4) 21” fixed mode

The 13” fixed mode is recommended for your 42” Wide VGA.
