4. Turn on your computer and monitor. If your monitor displays an image, installation is
complete.
- If you connect both the D-sub and DVI cables to one computer at the same time, you may get a blank screen, depending on the type of video card you are using.
- If you properly connect your monitor using the DVI connector but get a blank screen, check to see if the monitor status is set to analog. Select Digital input source to have the monitor double-check the input signal source.
