Manually Setting the Monitor Type

Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows 2000 . Use the table
below as a procedure guideline for manually setting the monitor types
manually.
Checking and Changing
the Display Resolution Flat panel monitors are fixed-resolution devices, and the image looks best
when they are operated at their native resolution. However, RAC6185
Industrial Flat Panel Monitor (6185-F) have advanced scaling capabilities to
make the display look as good as possible while running in non-native modes.
The native resolution of the 6185-F monitor is 1024x768.
If you switch the resolution of your monitor from its native resolution, the
display may look slightly distorted due to the replication techniques used to fill
the full screen with an image.
You can check or change your monitor’s display resolution in the Display
section of the Control Panel, under the Settings tab. For guidelines on
accessing the Settings tab, See Table 3.A.
