Monitor is the main attribute of any PC. Thanks to him, graphic information is transmitted to a person. A good screen is badly needed if the user spends a lot of time on the PC. The main consideration is the display resolution and refresh rate, which has units such as hertz.
But it should be remembered that even a good high-quality display is not able to function adequately in the OS if the necessary drivers are not available. Usually, if there are no drivers, then this is not noticed right away. And you can verify their absence by the message “Universal PnP Monitor”.
Universal PNP Monitor
In general, the expression: “Universal PnP monitor” indicates that the connected equipment (in our version, the screen) fits into the Plug And Play group. This suggests that for the initial connection and adjustment of the device does not require certain programs for installation from the manufacturer. Typically, these devices function normally even without drivers at a predefined quality. But replacing the display refresh rate is not entirely feasible. This is not a positive factor for those who use a PC for their main tasks. Players, too, will not be very happy, because the image resolution in games will decrease sufficiently.
A solution to the problem is possible, but always feasible. In general, it is necessary to determine all the solutions, because the screen must have full customization, and not just pieces. We decide what options you can force such a display to show your name, and not be behind faceless phrases.
How does he work
If the screen is displayed as a universal PnP monitor, then you should first install programs for installation from the manufacturer of the device. You need to find them on the official page. If you cannot find, apply the installers from Microsoft. How to put them? Click “Device Manager” in the “Control Panel”, find the link “Monitors”. Right-click on the universal device and click on the link “Update driver”.
The OS will search the servers, and when it finds it, it will install the recommended installation program itself. The next step is to put the PC on a reboot. Confirm your selection.
REFERENCE! You can’t be sure that the screen will immediately display with its real name, however, it will begin to function much better.
In general, because of what the message "universal PnP monitor" appears, we already understood. Consider troubleshooting options. A solution may be not to automatically rename the name when loading the inf file from the manufacturer into the shell. This method must be applied when the screen is functioning well, but it is necessary that everything looks clear. Just right-click on the inf file and click on the "Add to Registry" button.
As soon as you restart the PC, the desired screen mark name will be displayed in place. So you can force the OS to show what you need yourself. But such a method finds application in not every case. Also, not everyone has an inf file. Based on this, it is easier to install the necessary drivers.
REFERENCE! The “Universal PnP Monitor” message in Windows 10 is no barrier to humans. Since Windows 10 this name is called the usual driver from Microsoft.
Windows 10 does not manually install drivers while it is connecting to the Internet. Therefore, there are no problems. However, it may not be convenient for you to use this. But it is recommended to solve this with the inf file. In this case, the latest version of the operating system from Microsoft is very practical. Windows 7 had to install the new drivers yourself. And in this case, new drivers are installed automatically. But it happens that such an update can not have a positive effect. For example, when updated drivers do not match your old machine.
What does a monitor without PnP mean?
There is such a message "universal monitor is not PnP." What can it mean? This suggests that when connecting this equipment to a PC, it simply will not function adequately. The picture quality will become quite low, and you should not talk about the update speed at all. For these devices, you need to install the appropriate drivers. Usually they are located on Microsoft servers, and then a solution arrives. However, these drivers are not reliable.
For this reason, it is necessary to quickly, as the opportunity presents itself, to change them for drivers from a quality manufacturer. To perform this action, you just need to go to the official page of the manufacturer. On it you will find a lot of drivers.
We finally figured out what “universal PnP non monitor” means. It should be noted that only non-new screens, produced up to two thousand and five, belong to such a group. Plug and Play does not work on them. Typically, CRT monitors are exactly like that.
