Display information
!
Your Matrox graphics card is 100% VGA compatible and supports all VESA standards:
VBE 2.0 (Super VGA modes), DPMS (energy saving), and DDC-2B (Plug-and-Play
monitor).
!
Your Matrox product supports DualHead features. DualHead features control 2 displays
at a time.
!
To get the most of your Matrox product, we recommend using the highest color palette
setting (a 32-bit color palette) for all your displays.
!
3D acceleration is only available with a 16- or 32-bit color palette.
!
The display resolutions and refresh rates available depend on your Matrox graphics card,
display driver, software monitor settings, and monitor. For information on the
capabilities of your monitor, see your monitor documentation.
!
The highest display resolution supported by your main display is 2560 × 1600 (dual-link
only) or 2048 × 2048 (analog, dual-link). The highest display resolution for your
secondary display is 1920 × 1200 (analog).
!
While using 2 displays at a time, each monitor has its own monitor settings (refresh
rates).
!
While using 2 displays at a time
both
at the highest display resolution, certain display
limitations may apply. (For example, video playback may be limited.)
!
If you’re using BNC connectors with a Plug-and-Play monitor, the Plug-and-Play feature
of your monitor can’t be used. To use the Plug-and-Play feature of your monitor, instead
of the BNC connectors, use the 15-pin connector at the back of your monitor.
