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 800 x 600) 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 mode for this monitor is:
VESA 800 x 600 @ 75 Hz
To set the Timing Mode:
1 Set the resolution: Right-click on the Windows ® desktop > Properties >
Settings > Desktop (Screen Area for Windows 98 and newer) > 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.
