What is DVI ? What is DFP?
Digital Video Interface (DVI) and Digital Flat Panel (DFP) are
new industry standard digital display signaling protocol based
on Silicon Image’s T MDS technology. DVI and DFP are
differentiated b y different connectors each has adapted. The
LCD monitor DVI connector is compatible to DFP by using
the o ptional adap ter. For mo re information on DVI, visit

Why do the letters and icons look soft on the edges
when I change to resolutions other than the native/
optimum resolution of the panel?
Unlike traditio nal CRT mo nitors, a LCD monitor has a native
(physical) reso lution which pixels are produced by cells in
fixed positions. When a resolutio n different than the native
resolutio n is cho sen, the LCD monito r uses vario us
interp olation methods to achieve the pseudo resolutio n. To
achieve the op timum viewing quality, choosing the native
resolution of the panel, 1280 x 1024, is recommended.
Can I use this display with Linux , Mac
TM
OS and other
operating systems?
Yes. If a DVI or DFP co nnection is not available, then use the
VGA inp ut. For some co mputers an appro priate cable or
adapter may be required.
How do I change the resolution the monitor displays?
The resolution displayed o n a mo nitor is co ntrolled by the
video card display driver and operating system. The monitor
simply resp onds to the signal it receives from the video card
and is not able to change the resolution on its own. Mo st
video card manufacturers pro vide so ftware drivers and
utilities that allow you to use different resolutions for different
applications. Please consult your video card manual or dealer
for mo re information.
How do I change the frequency or refresh rate the
monitor uses? (Analog D-sub 15-pin Input)
The refresh rate is controlled by the video card. Mo st video
cards provide a software utility or hardware DIP switches that
allows you to change the frequency used for each resolution.
For LCD monitors, there is no b enefit to increase the refresh
rate because there is no flicker with this type of monitor. In
fact, 60Hz is the recommended refresh rate for LCD monitors.
