Question 4

AS A RANK BEGINNER I'M GOING BLIND WITH THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE WHITE SCREEN.  CAN'T FIND ANY WAY TO TURN IT DOWN A TAD, JUST TO GRAY IT SO I CAN SEE.

  PLEASE CAN  ANYONE HELP?   THANX!

The monitor has a bunch of user-defined features. Go to the website and download the User Manual, see pages 9 - 14. You're looking for "Adjusting OSD settings". I'll try to paste them here:  Adjusting the OSD settings
The OSD can be used for adjusting the settings of your LCD Monitor.
Press the MENU key to open the OSD. You can use the OSD to adjust the
picture quality, OSD position and general settings. For advanced settings,
please refer to following page:
Adjusting the picture quality
1 Press the MENU key to bring up the OSD.
2 Using the ?/ ? keys, select Picture from the OSD. Then navigate to the
picture element you wish to adjust.
3 Use the ?/ ? keys to adjust the sliding scales.
4 The Picture menu can be used to adjust the current Brightness, Contrast,
Colour Temp, Auto Config and other image-related qualities.

Question 5

Does this monitor have holes for mounting with wall-mount bracket?

Accepted Answer

That's a negative, no holes for mounting.

Question 6

What is the power adapter about?

Accepted Answer

The power adapter is the power supply that provides the electricity for operating the monitor. The LCD monitor needs electricity to power it, and it is the power adapter that provides that electricity. The power adapter plugs into the AC power and converts it to the proper amount to operate the monitor.
