How to install the monitor on a new computer

This instruction details the procedure for selecting and installing the BenQ LCD Monitor driver 
software on a new computer which has never had a monitor driver installed before. This 
instruction is only suitable for a computer which has never been used before, and for which the 
BenQ LCD Monitor is the first ever monitor to be connected to it.

connected to it (and has monitor driver software installed), you should not be following these instructions. 
You should instead be following the instructions for How to upgrade the monitor on an existing computer.

1. Follow the instructions in

 How to assemble your monitor hardware on page 7

and click 

Next.
