The Information le
The INF le denes monitor resources used by Windows® operating systems to ensure monitor compatibility
with the computer’s graphics adapter.
This monitor is Plug and Play compatible, and the monitor will work correctly without installing the INF le.
Monitor Plug and Play compatibility requires that the computer’s graphics card is VESA DDC2 compliant and
that the monitor connects directly to the graphics card. Plug and Play does not work through separate BNC-
type connectors or through distribution buers, boxes, or both.
The Image Color Matching le
The ICM les are data les that are used in conjunction with graphics programs to provide consistent color
matching from monitor screen to printer, or from scanner to monitor screen. These les are activated from
within graphics programs that support this feature.
NOTE: The ICM color prole is written in accordance with the International Color Consortium (ICC) Prole
Format specication.
