6. Initial 

operation

6.1.  Preparations at your PC

If you have been operating your computer with a CRT monitor, it may be necessary to make some adjustments. This is 
necessary if your previous monitor used settings for its operation that will not be supported by your new monitor.
The monitor displays up to 

3840 x 2160

 pixels. This resolution corresponds to the physical resolution. Monitors achieve 

full image quality with the physical resolution. If you change to a display with different settings, the display may not, in 
certain circumstances, appear in the full screen area.
Distortions can also occur, especially for fonts. 
Before you connect the new monitor, use your old PC monitor to set a resolution and image frequency that is support-
ed by both monitors. 
Then shut down the PC and connect the new monitor. 
After rebooting the PC, you can adjust the monitor settings for the device as described.
