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. Attach the monitor base.
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.
Lay the screen face down on a flat clean padded surface.
While holding the monitor firmly against the desk, pull
the monitor stand arm upwards clear of the monitor.
Orient and align the stand base socket with the end of the
stand arm, then push them together until they click and
lock into place.
Gently attempt to pull them back apart to check that they
have properly engaged.
Carefully lift the monitor, turn it over and place it upright
on its stand on a flat even surface.
You should position the monitor and angle the screen
to minimize unwanted reflections from other light
sources.

2. 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 and 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.
If you dont have an appropriate DVI-D port on your
computer, you can use the standard video D-Sub cable.
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
accidently falling out during use.

11 Getting the most from your BenQ monitor
Getting the most from your BenQ monitor
To gain the most benefit from your new BenQ color LCD flat screen monitor, you should set the
graphics card to the native resolution of 1680 x 1050 at first, and then you may start to 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 page12.
How to upgrade the monitor on an existing computer on page13
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.

12 Getting the most from your BenQ monitor
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 install your monitor hardware on page7.
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 (uncheck all others) and click Next.
5. Look to confirm that the wizard has selected the correct name of your monitor as "BenQ
FP202W" and click Next.
6. Click Finish.
7. Restart the computer.
13 Getting the most from your BenQ monitor
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 98, Windows ME, 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 systems on page14.
How to install on Windows 2000, ME, & 98 systems on page15.

18 How to adjust the screen resolution
How to adjust the screen resolution
Due to the nature of liquid crystal display (LCD) technology, the picture resolution is always
fixed. The best possible picture for your FP202W is achieved with a resolution of 1680 x 1050.
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 1680 x 1050 on your PC screen resolution setting as described below. Be aware that not
all PC video cards provide this resolution value. If your doesn't, check with the video card
manufacturer's website for an updated driver for your particular model PC video card
which supports this resolution. Software video drivers are often updated and available for
new hardware video resolutions. If necessary, you may need to replace and update the PC
video card hardware to be able to support the native resolution of the monitor.
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 1680 x 1050 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.
3. Click OK then Yes.
4. Close the Display Properties window.

19 How to adjust the screen refresh rate
How to adjust the screen refresh rate
You dont 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 Users Manual: Supported PC Timings on page34
You can choose 60 Hertz for the native resolution of 1680x1050.
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.

20 How to set the picture optimization
How to set the 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 (1680 x 1050) 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.

Image disruption may occur as a result of signal frequency differences from graphics 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 Geometry menu.
To extend the service life of the product, we recommend that you use your computer's power
management function.
