Eizo Fs2434-Bk

[Old_Geezer]

My Philips CRT monitor decided to go rather dim, and I was straining to read off of it, so I though, "Hang the cost", and purchased a new monitor. The Eizo FS2434-BK has just been delivered and I've connected it in place of the Philips.

After a little bit of fiddling with the front panel switches, it sprang into life. I guess the PC/Windows finally noticed it. But it says it is a generic monitor, which can not be right.

The CD seems to only hold a manual, no drivers. Searching the Net for its drivers only came up with some installation software labelled G-Ignition.

I've just rebooted, it is still showing generic.

Any thoughts on how to get it recognised as an Eizo, and get it to download/use specific Eizo FS2434-BK drivers ?

Cheers.

Obviously does not need a specific driver and uses Windows generic driver

I've always assumed it falls back on that when the right driver isn't available.

There is generally no need for modern monitors to require specific drivers and many manufacturers don’t make one and rely on the generic driver some are supplied with an .inf file that supplies your system with the make, model, and resolutions your monitor can run

It would appear that drivers only go as far as W8.1 which is why Windows has applied 'generic' drivers.

Ah one learns something every day. Thanks for this.

You can check your display here:

You need to see vibrant colours and all of the numbers (from 0 to 10) on both of the relevant lines.

Thanks. It looks fine and makes the other CRT monitor now look dim by comparison.
