Display Data Channel (DDC)

To make installation easier, so long as your system supports the DDC protocol, 
the monitor is able to plug-and-play. The DDC is a communication protocol 
through which the monitor automatically informs the host system about its 
capabilities; for example, supported resolutions and corresponding timing. The 
monitor supports the DDC2B standard.
