Monitors and USB hubs

Your BenQ FP783/FP783

LCD Monitor is a modern state-of-the-art device. It not only utilizes

the latest LCD display technology currently available – it contains a built-in 3 port USB 2.0 hub.

Using only one USB 2.0 port on your computer (freeing the others up for other uses), the built-in

hub provides close, handy, easy-to-use access for your USB devices.

You could use the USB hub to plug-in your USB keyboard, USB mouse, and USB web camera all

at the same time if you wish. Or if you connect your keyboard and mouse directly to your

computer, you could use the USB ports on the monitor for connection to your digital camera,

digital video camera, USB reader, USB printer, USB memory stick, or any other USB device.

What do I have to do?

All you have to do, is connect the monitor cables as instructed in How to install the monitor

hardware of this User’s Manual, turn the computer and monitor on, then you’re ready to

Plug-and-Play with USB, Windows, and your BenQ LCD Monitor’s USB hub.

Windows 2000 and later comes with integrated USB support. It will automatically detect and

identify your USB devices, and install the necessary drivers for them to work. If your USB device

was accompanied by the manufacturer’s driver or custom software for the device, you need only

point Windows in the direction of that driver, and Windows will install it for you.

How do I gain the most benefit from my new 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.

• How to upgrade the monitor on an existing computer

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.
