Connect to an Analog Video Source
All monitors support analog video. Your monitor is shipped with a high-quality
analog video cable. Use this video cable to connect a computer to the monitor.
Follow these steps to connect the monitor to an analog video source.
1. Connect one end of the 2 m (6 ft), analog video cable to the female, HD-15
video input connector on the monitor.
2. Connect the other cable end to the VGA port on the computer or to the
video generator VGA port, if used.
TIP
You can use a cable with a maximum length of 15 m (50 ft) at lower monitor
resolutions, provided it is a high-quality video cable. Video amplifiers are
available for longer distances.
TIP
You can connect the monitor to a video generator that does not conform to VGA
standards if the generator provides analog RGB video signals (0.714V above
reference black into 75
Ω
) and separate horizontal and vertical sync signals.
Depending on the signal, the monitor may or may not function properly.
