Q:
What does 'refresh rate' mean in connection with an LCD monitor?
A:
The refresh rate is of much less relevance for LCD monitors. LCD monitors display a stable,
flicker-free image at 60Hz. There is no visible difference between 85Hz and 60Hz.
Q:
What are the .inf and .icm files on the CD-ROM? How do I install the drivers (.inf and .icm)?
A:
These are the driver files for your monitor. Follow the instructions in your user manual to install
the drivers. Your computer may ask you for monitor drivers (.inf and .icm files) or a driver disk when
you first install your monitor. Follow the instructions to insert the driver disk (either floppy or CD-
ROM) included in this package. Monitor drivers (.inf and .icm files) will be installed automatically.
Q:
How do I adjust the resolution?
A:
Your video card/graphic driver and monitor together determine the available resolutions. You
can select the desired resolution under Windows® 95/98 with the 'Display properties/Settings'
control panel
