Plug and Play Capability
You can install the monitor in any Plug and Play-compatible system. The monitor automatically provides the computer system with its Extended Display
Identification Data (EDID) using Display Data Channel (DDC) protocols so the system can configure itself and optimize the monitor settings. Most monitor
installations are automatic; you can select different settings, if desired.
NOTE: USB2.0capabilityrequires2.0-capablecomputer.
NOTE: The USB interface of the monitor works ONLY when monitor is powered ON (or in Power Save Mode). Switching your monitor OFF and then ON
would re-enumerate its USB interface; attached peripherals may take a few seconds to resume normal functionality.
