The most difficult part of setting up this monitor is
getting it out of the box. Large monitors like the E66 weigh in at around 50lbs
and are also very bulky. Tipping the box over, we remove the box from the
monitor. Styrofoam and the plastic bag come off last, after we attach the base,
which quickly snaps into place on the base of the screen.The base not only
supports the screen but allows us to swivel and adjust the orientation to suite.
We were able
to bring our settings up to 1600x1200 with our Diamond Stealth III S540 (cheapy) video
card. At that resolution the image was still perfectly clear, but the video card
was operating at 60-70Hz which was a bit noticeable.
The monitor operates over a very broad range
of preset resolutions and frequencies, which are listed below:

What kind of onscreen controls does the ADI E66 have and
how easy is it to adjust?
