Selecting Video Input Connectors

The input connectors are:
●
VGA connector (analog)
●
DVI-D connector (digital) (select models)
●
HDMI connector (select models)
The monitor automatically determines which inputs have valid video signals, and displays the image.
You can connect the VGA cable, the DVI-D cable, or both. If both cables are installed, the default
input selection is DVI. The HDMI cable is in place of the DVI-D cable. The source of input can be
switched using the Source Control option in the OSD menu. Switching from a VGA to an HDMI input
source may take several seconds.
