Getting the most from your BenQ monitor

Getting the most from your BenQ monitor

How do I gain the most benefit from my new 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

How to upgrade the monitor on an existing computer

 

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.
