Before attaching your new LCD monitor to your computer, please make sure that your resolution and
refresh rates are set correctly for your monitor to work properly. This is especially important if you are
changing monitors (for example, from a CRT to a LCD). Before disconnecting your old monitor, please
set the resolution to 1024 x 768 and set the refresh rate to 60Hz.
The maximum screen resolution is:
1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz.
You can adjust these settings by right clicking your desktop, select “Properties”, then “Settings”.
