3. How to assemble your monitor hardware

If the computer is turned on you must turn it off before continuing. Do not plug-in or turn-on the power to the monitor until instructed to do so.

1. Unpack the monitor and place the monitor on the desk as illustrated before you cut the retaining strap.

Please be careful to prevent damage to the monitor. Placing the screen surface on an object like a stapler or a mouse will crack the glass or damage the LCD substrate voiding your warranty. Sliding or scraping the monitor around on your desk will scratch or damage the monitor surround and controls.

Protect the monitor and screen by clearing a flat open area on your desk and placing a soft item like the monitor packaging bag on the desk for padding.

1. Adjust the viewing angle.

Lift the screen upward and then pull the screen forward until a clicking sound is heard.

For more information about the adjustment of the viewing angle, refer to "Viewing angle adjustment on page 10".

You should position the monitor and angle the screen to minimize unwanted reflections from other light sources.

3. Connect the PC video cable.

Do not use both DVI-D cable and D-Sub cable on the same PC. The only case in which both cables can be used is if they are connected to two different PCs with appropriate video systems.

Connect one end of the DVI-D cable to the monitor DVI-D socket and the other end to the DVI-D port on your computer. (optional)

The DVI-D format is used for direct digital connection between source video and digital LCD monitors or projectors. The digital video signals produce a superior quality picture than analog video signals.

Connect the plug of the D-Sub cable (at the end without the ferrite filter) to the monitor D-Sub socket. Connect the other plug of the D-Sub cable (at the end with the ferrite filter) to the computer video D-Sub socket.

Tighten all finger screws to prevent the plugs from accidentally falling out during use.

4. Getting the most from your BenQ monitor

To gain the most benefit from your new BenQ color LCD flat screen monitor, you should install the custom BenQ LCD Monitor driver software as provided on the BenQ LCD Monitor CD-ROM.

The circumstances under which you connect and install your BenQ LCD Monitor will determine which process you need to follow to successfully install the BenQ LCD Monitor driver software. These circumstances relate to which version of Microsoft Windows you are using, and whether you are connecting the monitor and installing the software onto a new computer (without existing monitor driver software), or whether you are upgrading an existing installation (which already has existing monitor driver software) with a newer monitor.

In either case however, the very next time you turn on your computer (after connecting the monitor to your computer), Windows will automatically recognise the new (or different) hardware, and will launch its Found New Hardware wizard.

Follow the wizard instructions until it asks you to select a monitor model. At that point, click the Have Disk button, insert the BenQ LCD Monitor CD-ROM and select the appropriate monitor model. Further details and step-by-step instructions for both an automatic (new) or upgrade (existing) installation follow. See:

• How to install the monitor on a new computer on page 12.
• How to upgrade the monitor on an existing computer on page 13

If you require a User Name and Password to login to your Windows computer, you must be logged on as an Administrator or as a member of the Administrators group in order to install the monitor driver software. Furthermore, if your computer is connected to a network which has security access requirements, network policy settings may prevent you from installing software on your computer.

How to install the monitor on a new computer

This instruction details the procedure for selecting and installing the BenQ LCD Monitor driver software on a new computer which has never had a monitor driver installed before. This instruction is only suitable for a computer which has never been used before, and for which the BenQ LCD Monitor is the first ever monitor to be connected to it.

If you are adding the BenQ LCD Monitor to an existing computer that has already had another monitor connected to it (and has monitor driver software installed), you should not be following these instructions. You should instead be following the instructions for How to upgrade the monitor on an existing computer.

1. Follow the instructions in How to assemble your monitor hardware on page 7. When Windows (2000 or later) starts, it will automatically detect the new monitor and launch the Found New Hardware Wizard. Follow the prompts until it displays the option to Install Hardware Device drivers.

2. Insert the BenQ LCD Monitor CD-ROM into a CD drive on the computer.

3. Check Search for a suitable driver for my device option, and click Next.

4. Check the option for CD-ROM drives (unchecked all others) and click Next.

5. Look to confirm that the wizard has selected the correct name of your monitor as "BenQ FP93E" and click Next.

6. Click Finish.

7. Restart the computer.

How to upgrade the monitor on an existing computer

This instruction details the procedure for manually updating the existing monitor driver software on your Microsoft Windows computer. It is currently tested as compatible (and recommended only) for Windows 2000 and Windows XP Operating System (OS).

The BenQ LCD Monitor driver for your model may well function perfectly with other versions of Windows, however, as at the time of writing, BenQ has done no testing of this driver on other versions of Windows and cannot guarantee its operation on those systems.

Installing monitor driver software involves selecting an appropriate information file (.inf) on the BenQ LCD Monitor CD-ROM for the particular model monitor you have connected, and letting Windows install the corresponding driver files from the CD. You need only steer it in the right direction. Windows has an Upgrade Device Driver Wizard to automate the task and guide you through the file selection and installation process.

See:

• How to install on Windows XP system on page 14.
• How to install on Windows 2000 system on page 16.

Should you wish to do so, this is where you can change the screen refresh rate and other monitor properties to suit your needs. See How to adjust the screen refresh rate on page 20 for details.

1. In Windows 2000, click Close.

This will close the BenQ FP93E Properties window and return you to the Advanced Display Properties window.

1. In Windows 2000, click OK.

This will close the Advanced Display Properties window, and return you to the Display Properties window.

Should you wish to do so, this is where you can change the screen resolution (area and color).

See How to adjust the screen resolution on page 19 for details.

14. Click OK.

This will close the Display Properties window, and if you made any changes to the screen resolution, Windows 2000 will prompt you for confirmation to effect the changes, and further confirmation to accept the changes. Click OK and Yes respectively.

5. How to adjust the screen resolution

Due to the nature of liquid crystal display (LCD) technology, the screen resolution is always fixed. The best possible picture for your FP93E is achieved with a resolution of 1280 x 1024. This is called “Native Resolution” or maximal resolution – that is, the clearest picture. Lower resolutions are displayed on a full screen through an interpolation circuit. Image blurring across pixel boundaries can occur with the interpolated resolution depending upon the image type and its initial resolution.

To take full advantage of LCD technology you should select the native resolution setting of 1280 x 1024.

1. Open Display Properties and select the Settings tab. You can open Display Properties by right-clicking on the Windows desktop and selecting Properties from the pop-up menu.
2. Use the slider in the 'Screen area' section to adjust the screen resolution. Select the recommended resolution of 1280 x 1024 then click Apply.

If you select some other resolution, be aware that this other resolution is interpolated and may not accurately display the screen image as well as it could do at the native resolution setting.

1. Click OK then Yes.
2. Close the Display Properties window.

6. How to adjust the screen refresh rate

You don't have to choose the highest possible refresh rate on an LCD display, because it is not technically possible for an LCD display to flicker. The best results are obtained by using the factory modes already set in your computer. There is a table with the factory modes in the specification section of this User's Manual: Supported PC Timings on page 36

You can choose 60, 70 and 75 Hertz, (but not 72Hz) for the native resolution of 1280 x 1024.

1. Double click the Display icon in Control Panel.
2. From the Display Properties window, select the Settings tab and click the Advanced button.

3. Select the Adapter tab, and select an appropriate refresh rate to match one of the applicable factory modes as listed in the specification table.

4. Click Change, OK, then Yes.

5. Close the Display Properties window.

7. Picture optimization

The easiest way to obtain an optimal display from an analog (D-Sub) input is to use the i key function. Press the i key to optimize the currently displayed image to the screen.

When you connect a digital video output using a digital (DVI) cable to your monitor, the i key and the Auto Adjustment function will be disabled, because the monitor will automatically display the best image.

Please ensure that the connected graphic card on your computer is set to the native resolution of the monitor (1280 x 1024) when you use the i key function.

If you wish, you can always adjust the screen geometric settings manually using geometry menu items. To assist you in this endeavour, BenQ has provided a screen test image utility which you can use to check for screen color, grayscale and line gradient display.

1. Run the test program auto.exe from CD-ROM. You could also use any other image, such as the desktop of your operating system. However, we recommend that you use auto.exe. As you run auto.exe, a test pattern displays.

2. Press the i key on the monitor.

3. Press the MENU key to access the monitor On-Screen Display (OSD) menu.

4. Use the ◀ or ▶ keys to select DISPLAY and press the ENTER key to enter the menu.

5. If you notice a vertical noise (like a curtain effect-shimmering of vertical lines), press the ◀ or ▶ keys to select Pixel Clock and press the ENTER key. Then press the ◀ or ▶ keys to adjust the monitor until the noise disappears.

6. If you notice a horizontal noise, press the ◀ or ▶ keys to select Phase and press the ENTER key. Then press the ◀ or ▶ keys adjust the monitor until the noise disappears.

Read the How to adjust the screen resolution on page 19 section, and then select the correct resolution, refresh rate and make adjustments based on these instructions.
How do you use a VGA extension cable?

Remove the extension cable for the test. Is the image now in focus? If not, optimize the image by working through the instructions in the How to adjust the screen refresh rate on page 20 section It is normal for blurring to occur due to conduction losses in extension cables. You can minimize these losses by using an extension cable with better conduction quality or with a built-in booster.

Does the blurring only occur at resolutions lower than the native (maximum) resolution?

Read the How to adjust the screen resolution on page 19 section. Select the native resolution.

⑦ Pixel errors can be seen:
One of several pixels is permanently black, one or more pixels are permanently white, one or more pixels are permanently red, green, blue or another color.

• Clean the LCD screen.
• Cycle power on-off.
• These are pixels that are permanently on or off and is a natural defect that occurs in LCD technology.

⑦ The image has a faulty coloration:

It has a yellow, blue or pink appearance.

Select MENU > PICTURE > Color > Reset Color, and then choose "Yes" in the "Caution" message box to reset the color settings to the factory defaults.

If the image is still not correct and the OSD also has faulty coloration, this means one of the three primary colors is missing in the signal input. Now check the signal cable connectors. If any pin is bent or broken off, please contact your dealer to get necessary support.

⑦ No image can be seen:

Is the prompt on the display illuminated in green?

If the LED is illuminated in green and there is a message “Out of Range” on the screen, this means you are using a display mode that this monitor does not support, please change the setting to one of the supported mode. Please read “Supported PC Timings on page 36” section.

⑦ Faint shadow from the static image displayed is visible on the screen:

- Activate the power management function to let your computer and monitor go into a low power "sleep" mode when not actively in use.

- Use a screensaver to prevent the occurrence of image retention.

⑦ Is the prompt on the display illuminated in orange?

If the LED is illuminated in orange, the power management mode is active. Press any button on the computer keyboard or move the mouse. If that does not help, check the signal cable connectors. If any pin is bent or broken off, please contact your dealer to get necessary support.

Is the prompt on the display not illuminated at all?

Check the power supply mains socket, the external power supply and the mains switch.

⑦ The image is distorted, flashes or flickers:
Read the How to adjust the screen resolution on page 19 section and then select the correct resolution, refresh rate and make adjustments based on these instructions.
⑦ The image is displaced in one direction:
Read the How to adjust the screen resolution on page 19 section and then select the correct resolution, refresh rate and make adjustments based on these instructions.

• Modes not listed in the table may not be supported. For an optimal picture, we recommended you choose a mode listed in the table above.
• There are 22 available modes that are compatible with Windows.
• Image disruption may occur as a result of signal frequency differences from graphic cards which do not correspond with the usual standard. This is not, however, an error. You may improve this situation by altering an automatic setting or by manually changing the phase setting and the pixel frequency from the “DISPLAY” menu.
• If you switch off the monitor, interference lines can occur on your screen. But do not be concerned about this, as it is normal.
• To extend the service life of the product, we recommend that you use your computer's power management function.
