Selecting A Monitor - HP zx2000 Technical Reference Manual

System Accessories

selecting a monitor

The tables in the following sections list the features, display resolutions and frequencies for the
graphics cards supported by your system.
Use the supported resolutions and frequencies to select the appropriate monitor for your graphics
card. Frequencies of 75-85Hz and higher (depending on monitor size) provide ergonomic
flicker-free viewing on analog CRT monitors. Displays using DVI never flicker; the refresh rate
changes the speed at which the image is updated. Anything over 48 frames/sec. is considered
"smooth motion."
If the monitor you select is DDC-2B or DDC-2B+ compliant, the graphics card automatically
limits itself to the resolutions and frequencies supported by that monitor. In this case, you do not
need to use the tables in this section to select your monitor. If the display mode you desire is
supported by your video card and monitor, but not part of VESA or is not programmed into the
monitor's DDC-ROM, you may override the defaults.
On the tables that follow:
■
Only common resolutions are listed. Other intermediate resolutions are possible.
■
High frequencies may not be available at all color depths.
Ä
CAUTION: To prevent possible damage to your monitor, make sure you select a monitor that supports
the resolutions and frequencies you want to use.
