If your PC system is not compatible with DDC2AB and DDC2B+

This monitor uses the No. 9 pin in the video signal connector for DDC2AB and DDC2B+ compatibility.

Some PC systems which are not compatible with either DDC2AB or DDC2B+ may not accept the No. 9 pin. If you are not sure whether your PC system accepts the No. 9 pin or not, use the HD15 (Female)
