Using the Monitor

Setting the Timing Mode

Setting the timing mode is important for maximizing the quality of the screen
image and minimizing eye strain. The timing mode consists of the resolution
(example 1280 x 1024) and refresh rate (or vertical frequency--example
75 Hz). After setting the timing mode, use the OnView
screen image.
The recommended timing modes for this monitor are:
VESA 1280 x 1024 @ 85Hz and VESA 1600 x 1200 @ 85 Hz.
To set the Timing Mode:
1. Set the resolution: Right-click on the Windows
Settings > Desktop Area > set the resolution.
2. Set the refresh rate: See your graphic card's user guide for instructions.
To minimize the adjustments required for an optimal screen image,
