Installation
• 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.
• The following illustrations are for your reference only. Available input and output jacks may vary depending on
the purchased model.
• Please be careful to prevent damage to the monitor. Placing the screen surface on an object like a stapler or a
mouse will crack the glass or damage the LCD substrate voiding your warranty. Sliding or scraping the monitor
around on your desk will scratch or damage the monitor surround and controls.
Attach the monitor stand

like the monitor packaging bag on the desk for padding.
2. Gently lay the screen face down on a at clean padded surface.
3. Orient and align the stand base socket with the end of the stand arm, then push them together
until they click and lock into place.
4. Tighten the screw on the bottom of the monitor base as illustrated.
5. Carefully lift the monitor, turn it over and place it upright on its stand on a at even surface.

Cleaning
Please disconnect the power cord before cleaning the product.
Clean the cabinet regularly with a cloth. You can use soft-detergent to wipe out the stain, instead of
strong-detergent which will cauterize the product cabinet.
When cleaning, make sure no detergent is leaked into the product. The cleaning cloth should not be
too rough as it will scratch the screen surface.
Adjusting viewing angle
For optimal viewing it is recommended to look at the full face of the monitor, then adjust the
monitor's angle to your own preference.
Hold the stand so you will not topple the monitor when you change the monitor's angle.
Do not touch the LCD screen when you change the angle. It may cause damage or break the LCD screen.

Using the monitor wall mounting kit
The back of your LCD monitor has a VESA standard mount with 100mm pattern, allowing the
installation of a wall mount bracket. Before starting to install a monitor wall mounting kit, please
read the precautions carefully.
Precautions
• Install your monitor and monitor mounting kit on a wall with at surface.
• Ensure that the wall material and the standard wall mount bracket (purchased separately) are
stable enough to support the weight of the monitor. Refer to the product specications for weight
information.
• Turn off the monitor and the power before disconnecting the cables from the LCD monitor.
1. Remove the monitor stand.
Lay the screen face down on a clean and well-padded
surface.
In case you intend to use your monitor on the stand in the
future, please keep the monitor base, monitor stand, and
screws somewhere safe for future use.
2. Follow the instruction manuals of the
wall mount bracket you purchased to
complete the installation.
Use four M4 x 10 mm screws to x a VESA standard wall mount
bracket to the monitor. Make sure that all screws are tightened
and secured properly. Consult a professional technician or
BenQ service for wall mount installation and safety precautions.
