How to assemble your monitor hardware
• If the computer is turned on you must turn it off before continuing.
Do not plug-in or turn-on the power to the monitor until instructed to do so.
• The following illustrations are for your reference only. Available input and output jacks may vary depending on
the purchased model.
1. Attach the monitor base.
Please be careful to prevent damage to the monitor. Placing
the screen surface on an object like a stapler or a mouse will
crack the glass or damage the LCD substrate voiding your
warranty. Sliding or scraping the monitor around on your
desk will scratch or damage the monitor surround and
controls.
Protect the monitor and screen by clearing a flat open
area on your desk and placing a soft item like the
monitor packaging bag on the desk for padding.
Gently lay the screen face down on a flat clean padded
surface.
While holding the monitor firmly against the desk, pull
the monitor stand arm upwards clear of the monitor.
Orient and align the stand base socket with the end of
the stand arm, then push them together. Tighten the
thumbscrew on the bottom of the monitor base as
illustrated.
Gently attempt to pull them back apart to check that
they have properly engaged.
Carefully lift the monitor, turn it over and place it
upright on its stand on a flat even surface.

2. Connect the PC video cable.
Do not use both DVI-D cable and D-Sub cable on the same
PC. The only case in which both cables can be used is if they
are connected to two different PCs with appropriate video
systems.
To Connect the D-Sub Cable
Connect the plug of the D-Sub cable (at the end
without the ferrite filter) to the monitor video socket.
Connect the other end of the cable (at the end with the
ferrite filter) to the computer video socket.
Tighten all finger screws to prevent the plugs from
accidently falling out during use.
To Connect the DVI-D Cable
Connect the plug of the DVI-D cable (at the end
without the ferrite filter) to the monitor video socket.
Connect the other end of the cable (at the end with the
ferrite filter) to the computer video socket.
Tighten all finger screws to prevent the plugs from
accidently falling out during use.
To Connect the HDMI Cable
Connect the plug of the HDMI cable to the HDMI port
on the monitor. Connect the other end of the cable to
the HDMI port of a digital output device.
