2 Using the monitor Software and utilities The NVIDIA control panel software must be downloaded and installed from http://www.geforce.com/drivers. In order to use NVIDIA G-SYNC, you must have a G-SYNC compatible graphics card. A list of compatible cards is available at http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/g-sync/supported-gpus. The optical disc, if one is included with the monitor, contains files that you can install on the computer. If you do not have an optical drive, you can download the files from http://www.hp.com/support. ● .Inf (Information) file ● .Icm (Image Color Matching) files (one for each calibrated color space) Enabling G-SYNC To enable the monitor for G-SYNC: 1. Right click on the Windows® Desktop and select NVIDIA Control Panel. 2. Select Display from the links on the left and choose Set up G-SYNC. 3. Check the box titled Enable G-SYNC. The Setup Information file The .inf file defines monitor resources used by Windows operating systems to ensure monitor compatibility with the computer's graphics adapter. This monitor is Windows Plug and Play-compatible, and the monitor will work correctly without installing the .inf file. Monitor Plug and Play compatibility requires that the computer's graphic card is VESA DDC2- compliant and that the monitor connects directly to the graphics card. Plug and Play does not work through separate BNC-type connectors or through distribution buffers/boxes. The Image Color Matching file The .icm files are data files that are used in conjunction with graphics programs to provide consistent color matching from monitor screen to printer, or from scanner to monitor screen. This file is activated from within graphics programs that support this feature. NOTE: The ICM color profile is written in accordance with the International Color Consortium (ICC) Profile Format specification. Software and utilities 15
