The native resolution of a monitor is the resolution at which the LCD panel is designed to perform best. In almost all cases, screen images look best when viewed at their native resolution. You can lower the resolution setting of a monitor but not increase it.
Page 33
For example, a SVGA resolution LCD panel displays 800 pixels horizontally and 600 pixels vertically. Input video is also represented by the same terms. XGA input video has a format of 1024 pixels horizontally by 768 pixels vertically. When the input pixels contained in the video input format match the native resolution of the panel, there is a one-to- one correspondence of mapping of input video pixels to LCD pixels.
Do not use a damaged power cord. Use only the power cord that comes with your Elo TouchSystems touchmonitor. Use of an unauthorized power cord may invalidate your warranty.
Care and Handling of Your Touchmonitor The following tips will help keep your Elo Entuitive touchmonitor functioning at the optimal level. • To avoid risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the brick supply or display unit cabinet.
