If that helped you, great. However, generally speaking, you don't
need "drivers" for your monitor.

Monitor "drivers" are just text files.

What is a ''driver'' for monitors?

The word “driver” for a monitor is slightly misleading. It is better to think of a monitor
"driver" as an “information file. This file is usually specific to one monitor and can be used
with different operating systems. It identifies your monitor (supplier, type). It also contains
information about your monitor’s maximum resolution.

Your LCD / Monitor will also work off default drivers provided by the operating system. In
Windows this driver is called "Plug and Play Monitor" or "Default Monitor". It is acceptable to
use these default files as well.
