Getting the most from your BenQ monitor  

4. Getting the most from your BenQ monitor

To gain the most benefit from your new BenQ color LCD flat screen monitor, you should install 
the custom BenQ LCD Monitor driver software as provided on the BenQ LCD Monitor CD-ROM.

The circumstances under which you connect and install your BenQ LCD Monitor will determine 
which process you need to follow to successfully install the BenQ LCD Monitor driver software. 
These circumstances relate to which version of Microsoft Windows you are using, and whether 
you are connecting the monitor and installing the software onto a new computer (without existing 
monitor driver software), or whether you are upgrading an existing installation (which already has 
existing monitor driver software) with a newer monitor. 

In either case however, the very next time you turn on your computer (after connecting the 
monitor to your computer), Windows will automatically recognise the new (or different) 
hardware, and will launch its Found New Hardware wizard. 

Follow the wizard instructions until it asks you to select a monitor model. At that point, click the 
Have Disk button, insert the BenQ LCD Monitor CD-ROM and select the appropriate monitor 
model. Further details and step-by-step instructions for both an automatic (new) or upgrade 
(existing) installation follow. See:

How to install the monitor on a new computer on page 11

How to upgrade the monitor on an existing computer on page 12

 

If you require a User Name and Password to login to your Windows computer, you must be logged on as 
an Administrator or as a member of the Administrators group in order to install the monitor driver software. 
Furthermore, if your computer is connected to a network which has security access requirements, network 
policy settings may prevent you from installing software on your computer.
