How To Adjust The Screen Resolution - BenQ FP241VW User Manual

5. How to adjust the screen resolution

Due to the nature of liquid crystal display (LCD) technology, the screen resolution is always fixed.
For the best display performance, please set the display resolution to 1920 x 1200 pixels with an
aspect ratio of 16:10. This is called "Native Resolution" or maximal resolution – that is, the clearest
picture. Lower resolutions are displayed on a full screen through an interpolation circuit. Image
blurring across pixel boundaries can occur with the interpolated resolution depending upon the
image type and its initial resolution.
To take full advantage of LCD technology you should select the native resolution setting of 1920 x 1200
on your PC screen resolution setting as described below. Be aware that not all PC video cards provide
this resolution value. If yours doesn't, check with the video card manufacturer's website for an updated
driver for your particular model PC video card which supports this resolution. Software video drivers are
often updated and available for new hardware video resolutions. If necessary, you may need to replace
and update the PC video card hardware to be able to support the native resolution of the monitor.
1. Open Display Properties and select the Settings tab.
You can open Display Properties by right-clicking on the Windows desktop and selecting Properties
from the pop-up menu.
2. Use the slider in the 'Screen area' section to adjust the screen resolution.
Select the recommended resolution of 1920 x 1200 then click Apply.
If you select some other resolution, be aware that this other resolution is interpolated and may not
accurately display the screen image as well as it could do at the native resolution setting.
3. Click OK then Yes.
4. Close the Display Properties window.
If your input source does not provide an image with a 16:10 aspect ratio, the displayed image may
appear stretched or distorted. To maintain the original aspect ratio, image scaling options can be
found in the "Display Mode" adjustment. The image size is altered by the "Overscan" setting.
