How do I clean the screen?
Turn off the monitor and unplug it. Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a gentle screen cleaner. Wipe the screen gently from top to bottom. Do not spray liquid directly onto the screen.
Can I use a VGA to HDMI adapter?

What is the maximum resolution supported?
