Setting Up Video Resolution
Flat panel monitors are fixed resolution devices and the image looks best
when operated at their native resolution.
If you switch the resolution of this monitor from the native resolutions,
the display may look slightly distorted due to replication techniques used
to display the full screen. The native resolutions are as follows:
•
1024x768 for 6185-C
•
800x600 for 6185-B
The following table lists the amount of video memory you need to run in
each video mode:
Table D
Video Memory Requirements
Resolution Color Mode Video Memory
640x480 256 colors (8 bit) 0.4 Mb
High color (16 bit color) 0.7 Mb
True Color (24 bit color) 1.0 Mb
800x600 256 colors (8 bit) 0.6 Mb
High color (16 bit color) 1.0 Mb
True Color (24 bit color) 1.5 Mb
1024x768 256 colors (8 bit) 0.9 Mb
High color (16 bit color) 1.7 Mb
True Color (24 bit color) 2.4 Mb
Note:
The 6185-C and 6185-B monitors display up to 256k colors
(18-bit color). Because most workstations only support
8-bit, 16-bit, or 24-bit color, you must operate the monitor
in True Color mode (24-bit color) to use the full color range
of the monitor. The monitor will interpret the colors
correctly.
Verifying Video Refresh Rate
Unlike CRT monitors, there is no benefit to operating a flat panel
monitor at higher vertical refresh rates. It is best to select 60 Hz.
You can verify video refresh rate for your workstation using the
Windows Control Panel.
