QVision Operations and Installation Guide
2-6
OPERATING THE MONITOR
Software applications use drivers to tell the graphics controller installed
in your computer which mode to use for any application. The graphics
controller, in turn, sends the appropriate signal to the monitor. The
QVision Graphics System from Compaq will automatically change
modes when your system changes applications.
Pre-Set Modes
The factory default or pre-set modes are the most commonly used modes.
The monitor automatically recognizes these modes when they are
requested.
Pre-Set Modes
1024 x 768 at 72 Hz
1024 x 768 at 66 Hz
640 x 480 at 60 Hz
640 x 480 at 75 Hz
720 x 400 at 70 Hz
512 x 480 at 72 Hz
640 x 350 at 70Hz
User-Modes
Occasionally, the graphics controller signal may call for a mode that was
not pre-set or previously used. This may happen for one of the following
reasons:
§
you are not using a COMPAQ standard graphics adapter
§
you are not using a pre-set mode (even with a COMPAQ graphics
adapter)
In these cases, you should re-adjust the size and centering of the monitor.
It will automatically store the new setting as a user-mode. Then, the
monitor will automatically recognize the new user-mode as it would a
pre-set mode.
