Do you really need to use added software?

I think it comes with a CD so I would install the software on it. It has been awhile since I set mine up.

No, not really. Software on the disk duplicates the control buttons on the monitor and displays patterns on the screen which can help you to adjust brightness and contrast. Windows driver works just fine.

No. But it is nice to have it if you regularly switch between different settings. It also give you different options for splitting your screen.

No. I don´t need to use additional software. My two monitors are plug and play and works very well with my toshiba docking station.

I really don't know, but if you buy it don't upgrade the software, it messes it up

Yes, you can use an external CD drive to install software. Are you using a computer without a CD drive?

I'm not sure... I've always used it so I can't say for sure whether or not it is necessary or not, sorry!

I use it and did not have to purchase any extra software as my computer was compatible.

No extra software that really is important. Norton antivirus comes with it but it is a limited time free. Everything in the specs for hardware.

There are a few. Some are necessary anyway. This is not one of those computers that come with a ton of junk software.

Comes with software. You will likely need help to install. We followed advice we saw in other reviews of this product.

not in it's built in software, no. I had no trouble using 3rd party programs to that effect, however.

No. It requires a computer with the appropriate software installed to work.

yes, you have to. The unit has to be connected to your computer for the updates. But the updates are very fast.

No. You need to connect to a dvr or something of that nature. There is no need to install software onto the dvr

You might need a web connection to activate the software if you choose to do so over the Internet. If I recall correctly you can do this over the phone as well. Aside from having to do an online activation, this product is used offline. No web connection required

It doesn't come with the software. It gives you instructions on how to register and download all the software you need from their site for free. That way, they aren't shipping any outdated software with the product.

If you purchase a cd for this software it is your property to install on your computer. You may have to look for updates to the software thru the manufacturer to keep the software up-to-date. If you download the software you pay a monthly fee for the software usually for a limited time period. You're better off buying the cd.

No software required. Your system was configured for this in the first place, so no.
