Quick Installation

To get connected quickly, follow the Quick Installation instructions below. For more information on 
connections to the VP180m see page 5. For information on the wall mount, see page 6. Contact 
ViewSonic or your dealer for an optional Wall Mounting Kit.

1 Connect video cable

Make sure both the ViewPanel

®

 and 

computer are powered OFF. 

Depending on the signal coming from your 
computer, connect one of the video cables 
(VGA or DVI) that came with your 
VP180m to the back of your computer. 
Connect the other end of the cable to the 
analog and/or the Digital Video Interface 
(DVI) input on the back of the display to 
correspond with the signal of your 
computer(s). If you have both analog and 
digital inputs, see Input Select in Using the 
ViewPanel in this guide to toggle between 
the two ports. 

Macintosh users:

 Models older than G3 

may  require a Macintosh adapter. Attach 
the adapter to the computer and plug the 
video cable into the adapter.

To order a ViewSonic
