Setting Up Video Resolution
Flat panel monitors are fixed resolution devices and the image looks best
when operated at their native resolution. However, 6185 Economy Line
monitors have advanced scaling capabilities to make the display look as
good as possible while running in non-native modes.
If you switch the resolution of this monitor from the native resolution,
the display may look slightly distorted due to replication techniques used
to fill the full screen with an image. The native resolutions are as
follows:
• 1024x768 for 6185-H
• 1280x1024 for 6185-J and 6185-K
