Hello, i just recently finished a computer build. I have the 22" LG W2252TQ and was wondering if i need to install there driver cd, which is labeled "digital ez lg"? I wasnt sure if its a "plug and play" or if i play online gaming if installing will decrease performance?

I've never understood why manufacturers send a driver CD with monitors...I've never used them...I've always found (at least with Windows XP and Vista, 98 and ME is a different story) that any display issues are caused by the video card drivers...As for performance, I would guess that you probably wouldn't lose any by not installing the drivers, but then again, I don't do a lot of gaming so I wouldn't really know...

yeah i wasnt sure, there wasnt really any directions explaining anything, so i have no idea what the disk even contains. I think they have all the info inside the disk, making you download it. My old monitor had a cd driver but when i played enemy territory(online game) it lagged me up.
Ill keep checking to see if anyone else has experience with this monitor...

Thanks for your reply...

You quite often find the CDs that come with monitors contain a proper user guide. The packaging just shows you a quick start guide.
Not that its all that difficult to use a monitor, find the power button and you're away cooking on gas.

Even Windows 98 doesn't need monitor drivers. Windows 98 makes a big deal out of finding a new monitor - no other version of Windows behaves like that, anybody would think Win98 was designed without need for a monitor.
