Monitor Screen

This page allows Windows NT users to specify a monitor type and display the available settings, but it does
not permit the actual selection of different monitor modes. To select modes, click the Settings tab at the top
of the Display Properties panel.

When you open the Display Properties panel and the DDC button is selected, your system automatically
checks whether it is connected to a DDC-type monitor. If so, the available modes will be displayed. It is
possible, however, for the display settings to fall out of synchronization. This can happen, for example, if you
hot-swap monitors. The Detect DDC monitor button lets you manually tell your system to look for the
DDC monitor again.

The Type section shows which type of monitor was detected when you opened the control panel, and allows
you to select a different type if desired. The Monitor Information section lists supported monitors. If your
monitor is shown in this list, select Specific Type in the Type section. If your monitor does not appear in the
list and is not a DDC-type monitor, select VESA.
