Connecting video inputs

Connecting power
To connect power:
1 Position your monitor so you can reach the back, then connect the power cord to the power
connector under the back of your monitor.
2 Plug the power cord into a correctly grounded power outlet. We recommend using a surge
protector to protect your monitor from voltage spikes.
Important
For best audio and video performance, we suggest using HDMI. The digital
audio signal is conveyed along the same cable as the digital video cable, and no
additional audio connection is required. You may need to set your video source’s
audio mode to PCM or ANALOG to hear the audio. See your source device’s user
guide for more information.
