About Monitor Information File

The Monitor Information File includes the information of your monitor.

When your monitor does not support Plug & Play function, this file enables setting suitable resolution and refresh rate for your display.

When your computer and display support VESA DDC, the suitable resolution and the refresh rate are set by just plugging your display into the computer without any manual settings.

When your computer system supports Plug & Play, the Display Information File is not required except for installing the Color Profile.
