Setup
Hardware Requirements
This monitor requires a computer with a suitable on-board sub-system or
Video Adapter card that can support XGA 1024 × 768, SVGA 800 x 600, or
VGA 640 x 480 at 60 Hz.
Workplace Preparation
This section gives advice
on what you should
consider before you set up your
monitor.
Height
The monitor should be positioned so that the top of the screen is slightly
below your eye level when you sit at your workstation.
Orientation
Choose a position that gives the least reflection from lights and windows,
usually at a right angle to any windows. The monitor should be positioned
directly in front of you so that you do not have to twist your body to use it. Tilt
the monitor to a comfortable viewing angle.
Working Practices
This section gives
advice on how you can
work comfortably and reduce
fatigue.
Rest
Take regular breaks. Vary your posture, stand up and stretch occasionally as
prolonged use of computer workstations can be tiring.

DEUTSCH ENGLISHFRANÇAISESPAÑOLITALIANOJAPANESECOMPL & WARR
Back
You should sit back in your chair and use the backrest.
Hands
Use a light touch on the keyboard, keeping your hands and fingers relaxed.
Allow a space in front of the keyboard to rest your wrists when not typing.
Consider using a wristpad.
Eyesight
Working with monitors, in common with any prolonged close work, can be
visually demanding. Look away from the screen periodically and have your
eyesight checked regularly.
Screen settings
Set the screen brightness and contrast to a comfortable level. You may have
to adjust this as the lighting changes during the day. Many application
programs let you select color combinations which can help you to view in
comfort. See the
User controls
section on page 14 for more information.
Handling Instructions
Do not support the monitor
withinthescreenarea.The
Liquid Crystal Display is glass
and can be damaged by rough
handling or excessive pressure.
1. Lift the monitor by placing both hands under the lower part of the cover.
2. Before using your monitor for the first time, remove the clear protective
film from the front of the screen.
T55A.book Page 3 Wednesday, September 16, 1998 10:32 AM

4
Connecting your Monitor
Be sure to read the
‘Safety Information’ at
the front of this User Guide
before carrying out this
procedure.
1. Turn off your PC and all attached devices.
2. Connect the signal cable to the video port on the back of your computer.
This port might be directly attached to your computer (figure A), or it
might be part of a video adapter card (figure B). The video port on your
computer or video adapter card may be colored blue to match the blue
connector on your monitor’s video cable.
TheACadapterandsignal
cable are connected to
your monitor. If you wish to
change these or to fit a different
stand, see Further Help on
page 23.
3. Connect the power cord to the power adapter first, then insert the plug
into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
Switching on your Monitor
1. Switch on the power source and your computer.
2. Switch on your monitor by pushing and releasing the power switch
marked .
To switch off your monitor, push and release the power switch again.
3. Turn on the monitor and then the computer.
4. Run AUTO SETUP by following the instructions in the
Configuring your
Monitor
section on page 6.

Adjusting the Monitor Position
Viewing Angle
You can tilt the screen backward and forward as shown below.
Caring for your Monitor
Be sure to turn off the power before you perform any maintenance on the
monitor. Clean your monitor as follows:
• Gently wipe the covers and the screen with a soft cloth.
• Remove finger marks and grease with a damp cloth and mild detergent;
do not use solvents or abrasives.
• Never use flammable cleaning material to clean your IBM monitor or any
other electrical apparatus.

Configuring your Monitor
Automatic Setup
The Setup Utility included
on the setup diskette is for
displaying dot patterns. They do
notreplaceormodifythedisplay
driver.
When you first use your monitor you must perform Automatic Setup (AUTO
SETUP). This procedure sets up your monitor to process the video signals from
your computer without image discoloration or smearing. After you perform
AUTO SETUP, the settings are stored and used each time you turn on the
monitor.
The Automatic Setup
instructions require the
monitor to be warmed up for 15
minutes. This is not required for
normal operation.
Setup Diskette for Windows 95 or Windows 98
This section must be
completed before
continuing with the
Windows 95 or Windows 98
Auto Setup for the PC on
page 7.
To use the Plug and Play feature in Windows 95 or Windows 98, files should
be loaded from the IBM Color LCD Monitor Installation diskette as follows:
1. Turn off the computer and all attached devices.
2. Ensure that the monitor is connected correctly.
3. Turn on the monitor and then the system unit. Allow the system to boot
into Windows 95 or Windows 98.
Your computer’s Plug and Play code may warn you that your system
hardware has changed. This probably means that it has detected your
new monitor for the first time.
4. Open the DISPLAY PROPERTIES window by clicking on START, SETTINGS,
CONTROL PANEL and then double clicking on the DISPLAY icon.
5. Select the SETTINGS tab.
6. Select the CHANGE DISPLAY TYPE button.
On LCD monitors, unlike
CRTs, a faster refresh rate
does not improve display
quality. IBM recommends using
either 1024 x 768 at a refresh
rate of 60Hz or 640 x 480 at a
refresh rate of 60Hz.
7. Select the CHANGE MONITOR TYPE button.
8. Insert the Setup diskette into drive A: and select the HAVE DISK button.
9. Select OK.
10. Choose IBM T55A monitor and select OK. The files will be copied from
the diskette to your hard drive.
11. Close all open windows and remove the diskette.
12. Reboot the system.
The system will automatically select the maximum refresh rate and
corresponding Color Matching Profiles.

Auto Setup for the PC
Before carrying out
this section, it is very
important that The Setup
Diskette for Windows 95 or
Windows 98 has been run.
(see page 6)
Locate the operating system installed on your PC in the table below and
follow the appropriate instructions. You may choose to run AUTO SETUP for
each operating system that you use. This means that if you sometimes use
your monitor while running any version of Windows and sometimes also use it
from within DOS (not a DOS window), you must run AUTO SETUP for both
Windows and DOS. You may run versions of AUTO SETUP in any order.
If your PC does not run
with the setup diskettes
shipped with the monitor, refer
to Manual Setup on page 13
Before you begin AUTO SETUP for your PC:
1. Make a backup copy of the setup diskettes supplied with the monitor.
2. Make sure the PC’s video mode is set in the range of the supported
screen resolution shown in the table on page 19.
The
AUTO SETUP
process
only applies to the current
screen mode. When a new
mode is selected, repeat this
section to reset the monitor
You should perform AUTO SETUP for each screen mode you use.
