(Please check your computer’s documentation if you’re not sure where the port is located.)

Using Your Display This chapter contains information about using your LCD Monitor. Turning the Display On and Off Use the power button located at the lower right side of the front panel of the display to turn the display on and off. When the display is on, the light (LED) near the Power button is illuminated. The light is green when both the display and PC are active and amber when the display is in a reduced power mode.
On standard CRT displays, we recommend that you should use the highest possible refresh rate supported by your PC at the current screen resolution. This is necessary to avoid screen flickering and to minimize eyestrain. However, with your LCD Monitor, flicker is not an issue. It is flick-free at all supported refresh rates.
The table in “Video Mode” on page 29 shows the image refresh rates supported by the display at different screen resolution. Although your LCD monitor supports up to 75 Hz for analog video input, we recommend that you use 60 Hz refresh rate for best performance.
