Larger computer monitors and better video cards are assets when setting Microsoft
Windows for high screen area settings. In
comparison as the screen area changes. More cameras can be seen at once, and at higher
resolutions, when a recommended setting is used (as in A or B). Even at other settings,
video can still be viewed, though some camera windows can extend beyond the monitor's
surface. At any setting, camera windows can be dragged as needed and the player window
scrolled.
Higher refresh rates can alleviate eye fatigue when monitoring video over time. You can
change the refresh frequency, and the refresh rate (Hertz), as needed.
Not all monitors and video cards support the resolutions indicated in the preceding
sections, nor do all offer various refresh rates. Consult the documentation supplied with
Microsoft Windows, your monitor, and the video card for more information.
