Connecting the monitor To set up the monitor, first unpack the box, unwrap the components, then make your cable connections. Connecting video inputs To connect video sources to your monitor: Position your computer and the monitor so you can reach the back of each. If your computer has a digital video connector (DVI), connect a DVI video cable (not included) to the white connector on the monitor.
Plug the power cord into a correctly grounded power outlet. We recommend using a surge protector to protect your monitor from voltage spikes. To make sure that the monitor’s power is correctly connected, check the power button on the front button panel. The power icon on the power button should be glowing purple. If the power icon is not visible, power is not connected.
