Q:
What should I do when screen shows: THIS IS 85HZ OVERSCAN, CHANGE COMPUTER DISPLAY
INPUT TO 1024 x 768 @60HZ or THIS IS 85HZ OVERDRIVE, CHANGE COMPUTER DISPLAY INPUT
TO 1280 x 1024 @60HZ?
A:
It means the signal input from your PC is 85Hz -- outside the range that the monitor can display.
New Generation LCD intelligent monitor capabilities temporarily override the overscan, providing
you with 10 minutes to reset timing to recommended settings.
Here's how:
Go to your Windows Start menu. Select Settings, then Control Panel. Select Display. Move to
Settings and click on the Advanced button. Under Adaptor, change the refresh rate to 56~75.
