2. Then click on the "Have Disk" option.
3. Insert the Monitor Installation Disk (included with this monitor) and
select the appropriate monitor from the list.
4. Click "Next" and the proper preset timing files will be installed for
your monitor.
You may need to configure one or more of these display settings.

Using the Standard Controls for the Video Card
In addition to the standard controls on the monitor, each video card
has several controls that let you adjust the display settings. The
software and driver for each video card is unique. In most cases,
you adjust these settings by using a program or utility provided by
the manufacturer of the video card.
