Selecting Refresh Rate; Minimizing Energy Use - HP Pavilion M703 User Manual

Selecting Refresh Rate

To minimize eyestrain and maximize the
performance of your monitor, use the highest
possible image refresh rate or vertical frequency
for which you don't perceive flicker (generally
at or above 75 Hz for most users). The image
refresh rate is the number of times per second
that the image is refreshed. The "Pre-Set Video
Modes" table shows the image refresh rates
supported by the monitors at different screen
resolutions. The suggested refresh rate is 85 Hz
with a resolution of 1024 x 768 (dots x lines).
Use the Display Properties in the Windows
Control Panel to select the refresh rate. To set the
screen resolution, see "To set the screen
resolution" on page 14.
To select the screen refresh rate
1 Right-click an empty part of the desktop.
2 Click Properties. The Display Properties
window opens.
3 Click the Settings tab.
4 Click the Advanced button.
5 Click the Monitor tab.
6 Under Monitor settings, click the drop-down
arrow and select a refresh rate from the
available values.
7 Click Apply.

Minimizing Energy Use

HP Pavilion PCs support VESA Display
Power Management Signaling (DPMS). Power-
management features reduce the monitor's
power consumption after a period of keyboard
inactivity.
