Video Resolution on a Flat-Panel Display
Flat-panel displays, unlike CRTs, are optimized to run at one
resolution. A flat-panel display has discrete points on the display
that determine the exact location of a pixel. Each flat-panel display
has an exact number of pixels associated with it. There is a one-to-
one mapping between the number of pixels and the video
addressability, sometimes called resolution.
Native Video Resolution
A flat-panel display should be used only at the resolution dictated by
the number of pixels on the panel. The CT150 monitor has 1024
pixels across the screen and 768 lines of pixels down the screen and
can accurately display one resolution (1024 x 768) at full screen.
Options for Using Other Video Resolutions
The 3M Touch Systems CT150 FPD monitor supports all standard
resolutions up to their respective native resolution for monitor setup.
Many video cards initially display a screen image at the SVGA or
VGA resolution. By supporting these resolutions, the monitor can
display the desktop controls that let you change to the optimal
resolution of 1024 x 768.
