This section explains how to install the Apple Displays Software on your Mac OS–based
computer.
You need the following to be able to install and use the Apple Displays Software:

If you do not have Mac OS 8 or later, contact an Apple-authorized dealer or service
provider.
To install the Apple Displays Software, follow these steps:
1 Insert the CD-ROM disc that came with your monitor into the computer’s CD-ROM drive.
The CD-ROM disc icon appears on the desktop.
2 Double-click the CD-ROM disc icon.
The Apple Displays Software window opens.
3 Double-click the folder that contains the language you want the software to use.

will need to turn off the DDC (Data Display Channel) control to make the maximum
number of resolution settings available.

m PowerBook 1400 and 5300
m Power Macintosh 9500, 6200, 6300, and 6400 series

For instance, if you are using any of the above computer models, or a third-party video card,
and you are able to access only the 640 x 480 resolution setting, you will need to turn off
the DDC control to access the rest of the resolution settings.
For instructions on turning off the DDC control, see the table “ETC” and “Accessing and
