Bought a new monitor. Any point in installing drivers and software for it?
No.
Your PC should be able to read everything it needs to know about your monitor over the cable using the awesome power of EDID.
Is it 1995?
No.
EDIT: unless it's some sort of professional panel that needs calibration to Pantone or some other arty standard I don't understand, I suppose.
I thought this was about studio speakers
If it's got built in camera / microphone / speakers then it might be worthwhile.
OMFG, just realised something. With my lovely new monitor in place and the laptop stashed away, if someone wants to video call I might have to try and find an actual webcam.. It's like it's 2001 again!
Surely keep the laptop out too and use as a second monitor?!
I think.. not 100% sure, but I seem to recall having to install the drivers for mine, cos Windows kept dropping the resolution down. Not every time I started Windows, just sometimes and it was annoying to have to keep resetting it.
I might've resolved it another way, but I think it was the monitor driver...
AFAIK, it will run 'native' just fine, but windows will usually download the drivers automatically reasonably quickly anyway.
I've got 200-300 unopened LG labelled discs cluttering up the place that tell me our techies don't bother.
Since I don't have a CD drive on this computer I looked online, and the 'driver' file is 36kb in size so I'm assuming it's one of those drivers that simply labels the device.
The thing is allegeldy pre-calibrated from the factory, so shouldn't need any faffing.
