Adjusting Resolution, Color Depth And Refresh Rate - Black Box USB Display Adapter User Manual

Adjusting Resolution, Color Depth and Refresh Rate

There are three components that make up the screen mode:
Resolution: In common usage, this refers to the number of pixels displayed on screen
horizontally and vertically.
Color Depth: This defines the number of different colors that can be shown on the screen
at the same time.
Refresh rate: Measures the speed that the entire screen is rescanned. Higher frequencies
reduce flicker.
Some monitors advertise the supported modes through the video connector. If this is the
case, the adapter identifies the supported modes from the monitor. If the monitor does not
advertise the supported modes, the adapter software chooses a set of common screen
modes for the monitor.
The software supports the modes listed below.
