Using the Monitor
Setting the Timing Mode
Setting the timing mode is important for maximizing the quality of the screen
image and minimizing eye strain. The
timing mode
consists of the
resolution
(example 1280 x 1024) and
refresh rate
(or vertical frequency--example
75 Hz). After setting the timing mode, use the OnView
®
controls to adjust the
screen image.
The recommended timing modes for this monitor are:
VESA 1280 x 1024 @ 85Hz
and
VESA 1600 x 1200 @ 85 Hz.
To set the Timing Mode:
1.
Set the resolution: Right-click on the Windows
®
desktop >
Properties
>
Settings
>
Desktop Area
> set the resolution.
2.
Set the refresh rate: See your graphic card's user guide for instructions.
NOTE:
To minimize the adjustments required for an optimal screen image,
select a timing mode from the
Preset Timing Modes
table below.
WARNING:
Do NOT set the graphics card in your computer to exceed the
maximum refresh rate for each resolution (see below). Doing so may result in
permanent damage to your monitor.
