3.3. Installing the Video Card and Video Driver
Before connecting the LCD console, make sureyour computer has a video card already installed for
the monitor. After you connect the console, install the video driver. The video driver is supplied by
the video card manufacturer and may be found on the CD-ROM that came with your computer. If
you need information on installing a video card or video driver, refer to the manual that came with
your video card.
3.3.1. Configuring the Display Settings
After connecting the console and turning on your computer, you may need to configure one or
more of the following display settings:
•
•
•
Display mode (also called desktop area or video resolution)
Refresh rate (also called vertical scan rate or vertical sync)
Color depth (also called color palette or number of colors)
Each video card has several controls that let you adjust the display settings. However, the
software and driver for each video card is unique. In most cases, you adjust these settings by
using a program or utility provided by the manufacturer of the video card. Most video cards use the
Windows Display Properties control panel to configure the display. To open the Windows Display
Properties, click the right mouse button in a blank area of the Windows desktop and then select
Properties. The Settings tab lets you change the Color Palette and the Desktop Area (x by y
pixel resolution).
Some video cards integrate additional features into the Windows Display Properties control panel
to give you an exceptional setup that is flexible and easy to use. For example, the control panel
may include an Advanced Properties button, an Adjustment tab, or a Refresh tab for changing
other settings. Other video cards have a separate utility for setting display properties.
Whenever you change the resolution, color, or refresh rate, the image size, position, or shape
may change. This behavior is normal. You can readjust the image using the monitor on-screen
controls. For more information on the monitor on-screen controls, refer to Chapter 2. For more
information on configuring the display settings, refer to the manual that came with your video
card.

process.
Each individual EU member state has implemented the WEEE regulations into national law
in slightly different ways. Please follow your national law when you want to dispose of any
electrical or electronic products.
More details can be obtained from your national WEEE recycling agency.
Germany / Deutschland
Die Europäische Union hat mit der WEEE Direktive umfassende Regelungen für die
Verschrottung und das Recycling von Elektro- und Elektronikprodukten geschaffen. Diese
wurden von der Bundesregierung im Elektro- und Elektronikgerätegesetz – ElektroG in
deutsches Recht umgesetzt. Dieses Gesetz verbietet vom 24.März 2006 an das Entsorgen
von Elektro- und Elektronikgeräten über die Hausmülltonne!
B2B Geräte wie dies LINDY LCD Terminal und LINDY 19“ KVM Switches nimmt LINDY
kostenlos zurück und führt sie einem geordneten Recycling entsprechend den gesetzlichen
Vorgaben zu. Bitte nehmen Sie hierzu Kontakt mit LINDY auf, die Kontaktadressen finden
B2C-Geräte müssen den lokalen Sammelsystemen bzw. örtlichen Sammelstellen
zugeführt werden! Dort werden sie kostenlos entgegen genommen. Die Kosten für den
weiteren Recyclingprozess übernimmt die Gesamtheit der Gerätehersteller.
