13. Insert the Lenovo Monitor CD into the CD drive and click the Have Disk button.

14. Click on the Browse button and navigate to the following directory: X:\Monitor Drivers\ (where
X is the drive letter designator for the CD-ROM drive). Select the “ThinkVision Pro2820D.inf” file and

refresh rate of 60 Hz.
