It means that the monitor talks to the computer about what resolutions and refresh rates it can support.
Also known as DDC
It allows the monitor to be just plugged in and the system automatically produces a good screen, and stops the user from selecting resolutions or refresh rates that are too high.

Plug and Play usually means that the drivers are either standard or are already in the basic Operating System. So when you plug in your monitor your Windows or what ever you are running recognises the hardware you have attached.

Re setting up the pix drivers. If it keeps, then it ought to correctly be time to get a clean pix card. one among those element merely many times takes place if there's a hardware difficulty. that's not something to do with the computer screen, yet is well worth checking the drivers for that too.

It just means that when you plug it into your PC it will be recognized and you do not need to load extra drivers or fiddle with settings.
