Universal Driver Manager

This monitor may require a graphics driver (and/or .INF file) that is

compatible with your computer’s graphics adapter. The CD-ROM

included with this monitor contains an .INF file (see the section on

Information Files). Compaq has also created a Universal Driver

Manager (UDM) release that supports all graphics adapters found on

Compaq Deskpro and Compaq Workstation products. The UDM eases

graphics driver deployment across Compaq platforms ensuring cross-

compatibility and backward-compatibility. The resulting solution

enables customers to manage and control ongoing software maintenance

costs. The UDM is available on the Compaq Support Software CD for

Compaq Desktop, Portable, and Workstation Products and the Compaq

World Wide Web site (www.compaq.com).

Information Files

The CD-ROM included with this monitor contains two information files

that should be installed onto your computer—an .INF file and an .ICM

file. The .INF file defines monitor resources and provides specifications

used by Microsoft Windows 95 and Windows 98 to install support

software for certain hardware devices. The .INF file ensures monitor

compatibility and optimization with your computer’s graphics adapter.

The .ICM file provides color matching consistency from monitor screen

to printer and is activated from within the graphics programs that have

this feature. To install these files on your computer, insert the Compaq

CD-ROM into your computer's CD drive and select the software from

the menu that displays on your monitor screen. INF file updates are

downloadable by clicking on:

www.compaq.com/products/monitors/index.html

Setting Up the Monitor

To set up the monitor, ensure that the power is turned off to the monitor,

computer system, and other attached devices, then follow these steps:

1. Place the monitor in a convenient, well-ventilated location near

your computer.

2. Connect the monitor signal cable 1to the 15-pin connector on

the rear panel of the computer and tighten the screws.

✎Be sure the signal cable aligns with the 15-pin connector. Do

✎The degauss selection does not have a menu. When you select

degauss, the monitor corrects color impurities on the screen

without bringing up another menu. Color impurities are usually

caused by moving or rotating the monitor or by external mag-

netic fields. The monitor screen automatically degausses when

the monitor is turned on. After the degauss selection has been

used, there is a 20-minute delay until the degauss circuitry is

restored and the degauss function can be used at full strength

again.

Adjusting Picture Quality

Allow the monitor to warm up for 30 minutes before performing the

following procedures. The picture image stabilizes after a warm-up

period.

Optimizing Contrast

For best results, set your screen to a dark background (such as the DOS

prompt) before adjusting the following settings:

1. Set the brightness and contrast controls to their lowest settings.

2. Increase brightness until the background portions of the screen

are visible, then slowly reduce brightness until the background is

just extinguished.

3. Adjust contrast control to your preference.

Optimizing Focus

The default image size is preset at the factory. The Size and Position

controls in the on-screen display can be used to increase the screen size

beyond the default setting. However, expanding the screen image

beyond the default settings may degrade the focus at the outer edge of

the screen.

To enhance focus, use the lowest brightness level that gives satisfactory

results in your viewing environment.

✎Settings that maximize contrast may not offer optimum focus,

and settings that maximize focus may not offer optimum

contrast.
