Abstract
In a method and arrangement for controlling a monitor, a video signal is transmitted from a computer to the monitor and is sampled to digitize it and obtain a corresponding signal. Control of the monitor is achieved according to the corresponding signal. A computer program is executed to select a function for controlling the monitor, and a control signal is output through a video card of the computer. Then, color signals transmitted from the computer are sampled to analyze a control function and carry it out. Accordingly, the monitor can be controlled using software, even in a system which does not use a separate cable or does not employ a USB device. The number of control keys set on the monitor can be reduced, and a user is permitted to control various functions. The product cost of the monitor is decreased, and design of the front of the monitor is simplified.
