Setting the Display Resolution
Choosing The Best Resolution
All Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) have a fixed resolution that is the same as
the maximum resolution that may be displayed on the LCD. In the case of the
DV207SB the LCD resolution is 1600 x 1200 pixels. This is also known as the
“native” resolution of the monitor. Lower resolutions can be displayed at full
screen through an interpolation circuit. Because the lower resolution must be
expanded, the quality of the displayed image is not as good as that available
when the native resolution is displayed. For optimal performance from any LCD
monitor, you must use the monitor’s native resolution.
If you are using Windows 95, 98, 2000, Me, XP or NT 4.0, you can change the
resolution as follows:
1. Double-click
the
Display
icon in the control panel.
2. From
the
Display Properties
dialogue box, select the
Settings
tab.
There is a slider on the right-hand side in the middle of the dialogue box
that alters the displayed resolution. Set the resolution to 1600 x 1200.
3.
For Windows NT users only:
select a refresh rate of 60Hz and click
Test
.
A test pattern will be displayed. Make sure that there are no error
messages shown by the monitor. If an error message is displayed, check
the resolution and refresh rate settings or choose a different refresh rate.
4. Click
OK
to close
Display Properties.
