Configure the Video Setup Chapter 3
If you switch the resolution of your monitor from its native resolution,
the display may look slightly distorted due to the replication
techniques used to fill the full screen with an image.
To check or change your monitor’s display resolution, access the
Display settings in the Control Panel on your computer.
The Video Memory Requirements table lists the video memory
required to operate the monitor in each video mode.

IMPORTANT
The 1200M and 1500M monitors display up to 262K colors
(18-bit color). The 1700M and 1900M monitors display up to
16.2M colors (24-bit color). Because most computers support
only 8-bit, 16-bit, or 24-bit color, you must operate the monitor
in True Color mode (24-bit color) to use the full color range of
the monitor. The monitor will interpret the colors correctly.
