Supported Graphics Modes and Refresh Rate Selection

There is no need to choose the highest possible refresh rate when using an
LCD monitor. It is not technically possible for an LCD monitor to flicker.
Even at a refresh rate of 60 Hz you will get an absolutely flicker-free image.

For best results, it is important that you set the graphics adaptor to use one
of the monitor’s preset display modes shown in Table 1 on the next page.
Other graphics signals may be displayed poorly or not at all. Note that the
DV158’s preset modes correspond to VESA or Apple Macintosh standard
graphics signals for these resolutions. All recent models of graphics
adaptor should be able to support these modes. For the native resolution of
1024 x 768 pixels, for example, refresh rates of 60, 70 and 75 Hertz are
supported.

With Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP or Me you can change the refresh rate of
the graphics signal as follows:

1. Double click the Display icon in the control panel.

2. From

the

Display Properties dialogue, select the Settings tab and

click the Advanced Properties button.

3. Select

the

Adapter tab. The refresh rate selection field is located in the

centre, at the bottom of the dialogue box.

4. Choose a refresh rate that corresponds with one of the factory modes

from the table below.

5. Click

Apply, and then OK twice.

Please Note:

• Graphics modes that are not listed in the table may not be supported.

For an optimal picture it is recommended that you choose a graphics
mode with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels that is listed in Table 1 on
the next page. Resolutions of 640 x 480, 800 x 600, 832 x 624 and
1024 x 768 pixels are supported. Signals marked with an asterisk (*)
are not pre-adjusted in the factory. The default setting may require
some adjustment before use.

• The displayed image may show some distortion or noise that can be

caused by the signal from the VGA card if it does not correspond with
the usual standard. This is not, however, a problem with the monitor. If
it is still visible after using the Automatic adjustment, you can usually
