Configuring your Monitor Automatic Setup The Setup Utility included on the setup diskette is for displaying dot patterns. They do not replace or modify the display driver. When you first use your monitor you must perform Automatic Setup (AUTO SETUP). This procedure sets up your monitor to process the video signals from your computer without image discoloration or smearing. After you perform AUTO SETUP, the settings are stored and used each time you turn on the monitor. The Automatic Setup instructions require the monitor to be warmed up for 15 minutes. This is not required for normal operation. Setup Diskette for Windows 95 or Windows 98 This section must be completed before continuing with the Windows 95 or Windows 98 Auto Setup for the PC on page 7. On LCD monitors, unlike CRTs, a faster refresh rate does not improve display quality. IBM recommends using either 1024 x 768 at a refresh rate of 60Hz or 640 x 480 at a refresh rate of 60Hz. 6 To use the Plug and Play feature in Windows 95 or Windows 98, files should be loaded from the IBM Color LCD Monitor Installation diskette as follows: 1.
