Getting the most from your BenQ monitor To gain the most benefit from your new BenQ color LCD flat screen monitor, you should set the graphics card to the native resolution of 1680 x 1050 at first, and then you may start to install the custom BenQ LCD Monitor driver software as provided on the BenQ LCD Monitor CD-ROM.
BenQ LCD Monitor is the first ever monitor to be connected to it. If you are adding the BenQ LCD Monitor to an existing computer that has already had another monitor connected to it (and has monitor driver software installed), you should not be following these instructions.
The BenQ LCD Monitor driver for your model may well function perfectly with other versions of Windows, however, as at the time of writing, BenQ has done no testing of this driver on other versions of Windows and cannot guarantee its operation on those systems.
The Monitor Properties window will display. If the driver provider is listed as BenQ, and the model matches that of your new monitor, the proper drivers are already installed, and you need do nothing further. Cancel out of these property windows.
This will jump you directly to the Upgrade Device Driver Wizard, skipping the next step. 4. In Windows 2000, click the Driver tab and the Update Driver button. The Upgrade Device Driver Wizard will display. How to complete the Windows Upgrade Device Driver Wizard on page16. Getting the most from your BenQ monitor...

Due to the nature of liquid crystal display (LCD) technology, the picture resolution is always fixed. The best possible picture for your FP202W V2 is achieved with a resolution of 1680 x 1050. This is called “Native Resolution” or maximal resolution – that is, the clearest picture. Lower resolutions are displayed on a full screen through an interpolation circuit.
How to adjust the screen refresh rate You don’t have to choose the highest possible refresh rate on an LCD display, because it is not technically possible for an LCD display to flicker. The best results are obtained by using the factory modes already set in your computer.
If you wish, you can always adjust the screen geometric settings manually using geometry menu items. To assist you in this endeavour, BenQ has provided a screen test image utility which you can use to check for screen color, grayscale and line gradient display.
