Supported Graphics Modes And Refresh Rate Selection12 - Diamond View DV159 Manual

Supported Graphics Modes and Refresh Rate Selection
There is no need to choose the highest possible refresh rate when using a LCD
monitor. It is not technically possible for an LCD monitor to flicker. Even at a
refresh rate of 60 Hz you will get an absolutely flicker-free image.
For best results, it is important that you set the graphics adaptor to use one of the
monitor's preset display modes shown in Table 1 on the next page. Other
graphics signals may be displayed poorly or not at all. Note that the DV159's
preset modes correspond to VESA or Apple Macintosh standard graphics signals
for these resolutions. All recent models of graphics adaptor should be able to
support these modes. For the native resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, for example,
refresh rates of 60, 70 and 75 Hertz are supported.
With Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP or Me you can change the refresh rate of the
graphics signal as follows:
1. Double click the Display icon in the Control Panel.
2. From the Display Properties dialogue box, select the Settings tab and click
the Advanced Properties button.
3. Select the Adapter tab. The refresh rate selection field is located in the
centre, at the bottom of the dialogue box.
4. Choose a refresh rate that corresponds with one of the factory modes from
the table below.
5. Click Apply, and then OK twice.
Please Note:
• Graphics modes that are not listed in the table may not be supported. For an
optimal picture it is recommended that you choose a graphics mode with a
resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels that is listed in Table 1 on the next page.
Resolutions of 640 x 480, 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768 pixels are supported.
The default setting may require some adjustment before use.
• The displayed image may show some distortion or noise that can be caused
by the signal from the VGA card if it does not correspond with the usual
standard. This is not, however, a problem with the monitor. If it is still visible
