Display Configuration
Chapter Objective
This chapter describes how to do the following:
· Set the monitor type
· Check and change the display resolution
· Adjust monitor brightness
· Adjust the display
· Enable Auto Adjust
· Use the OSD to adjust the monitor
Setting the Monitor Type
If you are using a Windows Plug and Play operating system, your computer will
automatically detect the monitor type during the start-up process.
If your video card does not support Plug and Play, or if you are using the
Windows NT operating system, you must set the monitor type manually. Some
older video cards must also be enabled to detect the monitor type.
TIP
If your video card does support Plug and Play, but it does not appear that
your monitor type has been set properly, set the monitor type manually. For
example, the screen image may be too large or small, or otherwise
distorted.
IMPORTANT
The monitors use a (digital) flat panel display. However, when they are
driven by the computer's analog VGA interface, they are connected as an
analog device. Some setup screens may indicate that the monitor is
operating as a CRT (analog) device, rather than a digital or flat-panel
device.
