Connecting video inputs

To connect video sources to your monitor:

 

1

Position your computer and the monitor so you can reach the back of each.

2

If your computer has a digital video connector (DVI), connect a DVI video cable (not included) 
to the white connector under the back of the display. The DVI jack is only available on the 
19-inch model. In the United States, you can buy a DVI video cable from 

www.gateway.com

.

- OR -

Connect the blue VGA video cable to the blue VGA video connector under the back of 
the display. (The appearance of your cable and connector may vary from that shown.)

3

Make sure that your computer is turned off, then connect the other end of the video cable 
to the matching video port on the back of your computer.

Tip (19-inch model)

When using the optional speaker bar (described in 

“Setting up the optional 

speaker bar” on page 11

), we recommend that you use the included right-angle VGA 

cable for the video connection so the speaker bar does not obstruct the cable. In the 
United States, if you are using a DVI connection, you can order a right-angle DVI cable 
fro
