Specifying your monitor

Before configuring your display settings, it is recommended
that you specify your monitor. By default, the Matrox display
drivers assume that you have a 60 Hz monitor. If your monitor
is capable of higher refresh rates, you can customize your
monitor.
If incorrect software monitor settings are applied, some
monitors can be permanently damaged. For more
information, see your monitor's manual.
Under Windows 2000. When using a Plug-and-Play (DDC)
monitor, Windows should automatically use the correct settings
for your monitor.
To install a monitor other than a Plug-and-Play (DDC) monitor
or to customize or verify your Windows monitor settings:
1. Click on the Monitor property page of the Matrox Display
Properties utility.
2. If the monitor name listed does not match your monitor,
click on the Properties button and select the Driver
property page.
3. To install the proper device driver for your monitor, click on
the Update Driver button and follow the on-screen
instructions.
