For customers using Windows 95/98
To maximize the potential of your monitor, install the new model
information file from the supplied Windows Monitor Information Disk
onto your PC.
This monitor complies with the "VESA DDC" Plug & Play standard. If
your PC/graphics board complies with DDC, select "Plug & Play Monitor
(VESA DDC)" or this monitor's model name as the monitor type in the
"Control Panel" of Windows 95/98. If your PC/graphics board has
difficulty communicating with this monitor, load the Windows Monitor
Information Disk and select this monitor's model name as the monitor
type.
For customers using Windows NT4.0
Monitor setup in Windows NT4.0 is different from Windows 95/98 and
does not involve the selection of monitor type. Refer to the Windows
NT4.0 instruction manual for further details on adjusting the resolution,
refresh rate, and number of colors.

computer's instruction manual. The color number may vary according to
your computer or video board. The color palette setting and the actual
number of colors are as follows:

In true color mode (24 bit), speed may be slower.
