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 1024 x 768) and

refresh rate (or vertical frequency; example 85 Hz). After setting the timing mode, use the

OnView® controls to adjust the screen image.

For the best picture quality set your monitor timing mode to:

VESA 1024 x 768 @ 85 Hz.

To set the Resolution:

1. Right-click on the Windows desktop.

2. Click Properties on the drop-down menu.

3. Click the Settings tab.

4. Move the slider pointer which displays in the Desktop area or Screen area in the window.

Note : The refresh rate should already be set if you have done the CD installation (or refer to

your graphics card documentation).
