Is this monitor plug &amp; play? Is it Win 7 compatible?

You have to install a driver, but the process couldn't be simpler. Works great on Windows 7.

No, I used my existing monitor. It is packed with a key board and mouse. I am very pleased with this USA computor.

Can't answer for sure, since my application for this monitor was with a Windows 8 computer. But if you have a HDMI port on your system it should work fine. That is the connection I am currently using. Hope this helps, and I am still very happy with this monitor.

I cannot answer that since I am not the one who uses the monitor. Also, it is not located in my office.

Yes. You have to install the windows driver software for the screen to work at all. But once you do that, as soon as you plug in the USB cable it just works, like any other dual monitor setup, including drag and drop from screen to screen.

It's backwards compatible, but in the case that the monitor isn't responding just call planar support and they will gladly send you a replacement because mine had this problem.

They are all standard connections.. Blue VGA, White DVI or DMS, You can let me know which one you have though so I can put the correct Adapter in for free

Yes it is. Generally speaking, monitors are universally compatible with all OS's as long as you have the correct port to plug it in.

On this one I believe we just installed it and it worked - we have a few different multi monitor cards - the ones that have one plug with two monitor ends are usually plug & play

yes, PC-compatible. D-Sub, DVI and HDMI connections (I've only used the D-Sub)

Yes it is... that's what I use it with. Win 7 recognizes it and installs the driver automatically.

So sorry, we have Windows 7. You might go to the Viewsonic website and download the latest driver. My husband now has six of these monitors, shared between three machines, and they are working just great.

Yes it is. The setup can be a little off on windows 7 as it tried to install it to a wrong port. HP was great. A quick call and they fixed it. If you are using it on a network, the setup is no problem. I was setting it up through a USB. But again, HP was quickly able to fix it

I have this monitor and IT DOES WORK under XP without any kind of special driver installation. I just plugged it in and booted up. Seems to be the case with pretty much all monitors. Also, at the base of the monitor is the certified for vista sticker. Note: this is the AL22223Wd. I'm still confused as to why they're marketing any kind of monitor incompatibility with vista. Seems all monitors (That support 800x600) should run in vista :S.

dont know. I am hooked up to VGA. HP monitors are good, this may be a design anomoly.

Yes, a rather long cable, in fact, also, a power cable. We use this monitor everyday with a new Dell 660 Windows 7 computer and it works great. Very easy to setup. Just plug it in. It was a little too bright from the factory and I had to turn it down a little. Otherwise it was plug and play all the way.

Only tried it with windows 7 but it is plug and play. I would bet money it does but donno for sure. Works really good within 15 feet for me. I forget about having it on my desktop because it's never given me a problem.
