Hey guys i have a LG monitor and in the box with that monitor i get a CD (i think its monitor driver) so do i really need to install it and will it make any difference??
 
Solution
Just plug in the monitor and try it. If it works without problems, then no you don't need to install a driver. But if Windows has problems - doesn't offer the right display resolution, or the refresh rate is wrong - then you can try installing the driver.

since 2000, i never installed such driver

take the cd as a coaster, a nice lg branded coaster

the cd is delivered in case you use a old windows and the plug and play drier doesn't work properly and you don't have internet to download the file, other than that is never used

if you ever need a tool for it, that might be on the cd, surely will be a newer version on lg support site when/if you need it
