3. How to assemble your monitor hardware
If the computer is turned on you must turn it off before continuing.
Do not plug-in or turn-on the power to the monitor until instructed to do so.
1. Unpack the monitor and place it on a stable surface.
2. Connect the video cable.
Do not use both DVI-D cable and D-Sub cable on the
same PC. The only case in which both cables can be
used is if they are connected to two different PCs with
appropriate video systems.
Connect one end of the DVI-D cable to the monitor
DVI-D socket and the other end to the DVI-D port on
your computer. (optional)
The DVI-D format is used for direct digital connection
between source video and digital LCD monitors or
projectors. The digital video signals produce a superior
quality picture than analog video signals.
Connect the plug of the D-Sub cable (at the end without
the ferrite filter) to the monitor D-Sub socket. Connect the
other plug of the D-Sub cable (at the end with the ferrite
filter) to the computer video D-Sub socket.
Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the monitor
HDMI socket and the other end to the HDMI port on
your HDMI device. (optional)
Tighten all finger screws to prevent the plugs from acci-
dently falling out during use.
