This operating manual contains important information you require to start up and run your LCD monitor.
A graphics card (screen controller) with VGA interface is required to control the BenQ G900WA LCD monitor. The
monitor processes the data supplied to it by the screen controller. The screen controller or the associated driver
software is responsible for setting the modes (resolution and refresh rate).
Additional information
Due to the nature of liquid crystal display (LCD) technology, the picture resolution is always fixed. For the best
display performance, please set the display resolution to 1440 x 900 pixels with an aspect ratio of 16:10. 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.
2.4 Related service information
• Do not use the monitor near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool
or in a wet basement.
• Do not place the monitor on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If the monitor falls, it can injure a person and
cause serious damage to the appliance. Use only a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer or sold
with the monitor. If you mount the monitor on a wall or shelf, use a mounting kit approved by the
manufacturer and follow the kit instructions.
• Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable
operation of the monitor and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or
covered. Do not place the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface. Do not place the monitor near or
over a radiator or heat register. Do not place the monitor in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation
is provided.
• The monitor should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not
sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
• The monitor is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug, a plug with a third (grounding) pin. This plug
will fit only into a grounded power outlet as a safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the
three-wire plug, have an electrician install the correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground the appliance
safely. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.
• Unplug the unit during a lightning storm or when it will not be used for long periods of time. This will protect
the monitor from damage due to power surges.
• Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.
• Never push any object into the slot on the monitor cabinet. It could short circuit parts causing a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquids on the monitor.
• Do not attempt to service the monitor yourself; opening or removing covers can expose you to dangerous
voltages and other hazards. Please refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
• To ensure satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL listed computers which have appropriate
configured receptacles marked between 100 - 240V AC, Min. 5A.
