Adjusting the screen resolution
Adjusting the screen resolution
Due to the nature of liquid crystal display (LCD) technology, the picture resolution is always
fixed. For the best display performance, please set the display to its maximum resolution that is
the same with the monitor aspect ratio. This is called “Native Resolution” or maximal resolution
– that is, the clearest picture. Lower resolutions are displayed on a full screen through an
interpolation circuit. Image blurring across pixel boundaries can occur with the interpolated
resolution depending upon the image type and its initial resolution.
1. Open
Display Properties
and select the
Settings
tab.
You can open
Display Properties
by right-clicking on the Windows desktop and selecting
Properties
from the pop-up menu.
2. Use the slider in the ‘Screen area’ section to adjust the screen resolution.
Select the recommended resolution (maximum resolution) then click
Apply
.
3. Click
OK
then
Yes
.
4. Close the
Display Properties
window.
If your input source does not provide an image which is the same with the monitor aspect ratio,
the displayed image may appear stretched or distorted. To maintain the original aspect ratio,
image scaling options can be found in the “Display Mode” adjustment.
To find out the monitor aspect ratio and native resolution of the purchased model, please check the Specification
page.
• To take full advantage of LCD technology you should select the native resolution setting of your PC screen as
described below. Be aware that not all PC video cards provide this resolution value. If yours doesn't, check
with the video card manufacturer's website for an updated driver for your particular model PC video card
which supports this resolution. Software video drivers are often updated and available for new hardware video
resolutions. If necessary, you may need to replace and update the PC video card hardware to be able to
support the native resolution of the monitor.
• Depending on the operating system on your PC, different procedures should be followed to adjust the screen
resolution. Refer to the help document of your operating system for details.
If you select some other resolution, be aware that this other resolution is interpolated and may not accurately
display the screen image as well as it could do at the native resolution setting.
