Setting the Monitor Type
VersaView 6186-M Industrial Flat Panel Monitor is a Plug and Play
compliant device. If you are using Windows® 95, Windows 98 or
Windows 2000, and if your video card supports it, you should enable
your workstation to detect Plug and Play monitors. Your workstation
will automatically set your 6186-M monitor type, and further setup
should not be required.
If your video card does not support Plug and Play, or if you are using
Windows NT®, you should set the monitor type manually.
The possible monitor types are:
•
“Plug and Play Monitor” for 6186-M monitors with a Plug and
Play enabled system
•
“Default Monitor” for 6186-M monitors that are set up manually
TIP
If your video card does support Plug and Play, but it
does not appear that your monitor type has been set
properly (i.e. the screen image is too large or small,
or is otherwise distorted), you should set the monitor
type manually.
IMPORTANT
The VersaView monitors use a (digital) flat panel
display. However, when they are driven by the
workstation's analog VGA interface, they are
connected in an analog manner. Therefore, some
setup screens may indicate that the monitor is
operating as a CRT (analog) device, rather than a
digital or flat-panel device.
