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 1600 x 1200) and refresh rate (or vertical frequency; example 85 Hz).
After setting the timing mode, use the OnView
® controls to adjust the screen image.
The recommended timing modes for this monitor are:
VESA 1600 x 1200 @ 85 Hz.
To set the Timing Mode:
1 Set the resolution: Right-click on the Windows ® desktop > Properties > Settings >
Desktop Area > set the resolution.
2 Set the refresh rate: See your graphic card's user guide for instructions.
NOTE: To minimize the adjustments required for an optimal screen image, select a
timing mode from the Preset Timing Modes table below.
WARNING: Do NOT set the graphics card in your computer to exceed the maximum
refresh rate for each resolution (see below). Doing so may result in permanent damage to
your monitor.
