Page 16: Supported Graphics Modes And Refresh Rate Selection12
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. - Page 17 after using the Automatic adjustment, you can usually improve the displayed image by manually adjusting the phase, horizontal position and pixel frequency settings using the "Geometry" menu. See Chapter 8, Adjusting the Monitor, for more details. • When you shut Windows down you may see interference lines on your screen.
