886463 2010-05-20 04:57:00 Normally you don't need a driver for a monitor.

I might add that if you do need a driver it would be best to let people know the intended operating system.

886465 2010-05-20 05:29:00 Not all monitors have drivers. If its not on the site, then there's nothing Speedy Gonzales (78)
886466 2010-05-20 05:35:00 here (www.nodevice.com) - but no ide how legit they are, the site says 1.32MB - but the download file is actually 13.5MB. Another place (driverscollection.com) says 2.44MB -- so who knows.

Viewsonic dont even appear to have them.

The default MS ones are fine.

886467 2010-05-20 05:38:00 Sounds a bit dodgy if its 13 mb ! Just for a monitor Speedy Gonzales (78)
886468 2010-05-20 06:05:00 Just download it, and looked inside the zip file, theres two - Contents (www.imagef1.net.nz) - looks like the top ones the correct size. Not that I actually have ever used Viewsonic Drivers, the default ones always work fine. wainuitech (129)

Specific hardware drivers yes, generic drivers like mice, KBs, optical drives and monitors - you don't need it. Windows does it just fine. Ever heard of anyone having a monitor driver issue? No.

886470 2010-05-21 00:39:00 Monitors don't have drivers.

At most they have information files detailing the maximum resolution etc supported so Windows knows what it can and can't do, and maybe a colour profile.

I understand your concern with Windows being stupid, but even installing said files won't make the monitor run any more "smoothly"
