Getting the most from your BenQ monitor  
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:  
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 install your monitor hardware.  
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  
FP231W" and click Next.  
6. Click Finish.  
Windows will continue installing other devices it finds. If you connected the USB 2.0 hub cable to a  
suitable USB 2.0 port on the computer, Windows will automatically detect it and install the  
appropriate drivers for it. You need not do anything more to get the hub to work for you.  
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 currrently 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.

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 FP231W is achieved with a resolution of 1920x1200. 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. However flaws do  
occur with the interpolated resolution.  
To take full advantage of LCD technology you should select the native resolution setting  
of 1920x1200.  
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 1920x1200 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.

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.  
You can choose 60 Hertz for the native resolution of 1920x1200.  
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.

How to set the picture optimization  
The easiest way to obtain an optimal display is to use the i key function. Press the i key to  
optimize and adjust the screen settings automatically for you. Refer to How to adjust your  
Monitor for button locations and functionality.  
If you wish to, you can always adjust the screen settings manually using the buttons on the  
monitor panel. 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 Enter key to access the monitor On-Screen Display (OSD) menu.  
3. If you notice a vertical noise, press the t or u keys to select Geometry and press the Enter  
key. Then press thet or u keys to select Pixel Clock and press the Enter key again. Then,  
press thet or u key to adjust the monitor until the noise disappears.  
4. If you notice a horizontal noise, press thet or u keys to select Geometry and press the  
Enter key. Then press thet or u keys to select Phase and press the Enter key again. Then,  
press t or u keys to adjust the monitor until the noise disappears.  
To make sure the i key function performs well, you have to select one of the supported modes. If  
the i key does not work properly and the NON PRESET MODE message is on the OSD, it means  
you are not using one of the supported modes. Please set your monitor to use one of the  
supported modes as listed at the end of this manual.

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 25 available modes that are compatible with Windows.  
Image disruption may occur as a result of signal frequency differences from VGA 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.  
If you switch off the monitor, interference lines can occur on your screen. But do not be concerned  
about this, as it is normal.
