6Setting the Display
Resolution
Choosing The Best Resolution
All Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) have a fixed resolution that
is the same as the maximum graphics resolution that may be
displayed. In the case of the DV200B the LCD resolution is
1600 x 1200 pixels. This is also known as the “native” resolu-
tion of the monitor. Lower resolution graphics signals can be
displayed at full screen through an interpolation circuit.
Because the lower resolution must be expanded, the quality of
the displayed image is not as good as that available when the
native resolution is displayed. For optimal performance from
any LCD monitor, you must use the monitor’s native resolution.
If you are using Windows 95, 98, 2000, Me, NT 4.0 or XP, you
can change the resolution as follows:
1. Double-click the Display icon in the control panel.
2. From the Display Properties dialogue box, select the
Settings tab. There is a slider on the right-hand side in the
middle of the dialogue that alters the displayed resolution.
Set the resolution to 1600 x 1200.
Windows NT users only: select a refresh rate of 60Hz
and click Test. A test pattern will be displayed. Make
sure that there are no error messages shown by the
monitor. If an error message is displayed, check the res-
olution and refresh rate settings or choose a different
refresh rate.
3. Click OK to close Display Properties.

17
If you are using an Apple Macintosh, you may change the
resolution by:
1. Clicking the Apple icon at the top, left corner of the screen.
2. Select Control Panel and then select Monitors & Sound.
4. Select a resolution of 1600x1200 pixels with 60 Hz refresh
rate.
5. If a refresh rate of 60 Hz is not available, click
Recommended in the Show drop-down box and change it
to All. Select the resolution and refresh rate as above. A
color depth of Millions is recommended.
Supported Graphics Modes and Refresh Rates
There is no need to choose the highest possible refresh rate
when using an LCD monitor. It is not technically possible for an
LCD monitor to flicker. Even at a refresh rate of 60 Hz you will
get a flicker-free image.
For best results, it is important that you set the graphics adap-
tor to use one of the monitor’s preset display modes shown in
Table 1 on the next page. Other graphics signals may be dis-
played poorly or not at all. Note that the DV200B’s preset
modes correspond to VESA standard graphics signals for
these resolutions. All recent models of graphics adaptor should
be able to support these modes. For the native resolution of
1600x1200 pixels, for example, refresh rates of 60 Hertz is
supported.
With Windows 95, 98, 2000, Millennium Edition or XP 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, select the Settings

18
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 1600x
1200pixels that is listed in Table 1 on the next page. All 10
modes are compatible with Microsoft Windows. Resolutions
of 640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1280 x 1024 and 1600
x 1200 pixels are supported by most other operating
systems, including the Apple Macintosh's Mac OS.
◆The displayed image may show some distortion or noise.
This 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 some distortion is
still visible after using the Automatic adjustment, you can
usually improve the displayed image by manually adjusting
the phase, horizontal position and pixel frequency settings.
See Chapter 7, Adjusting the Monitor, for more details.
◆When you shut Windows down you may see interference
lines on your screen. This caused by the manner in which
Windows controls the graphics card at this point and is
normal with all LCD monitors.
◆To extend the service life of the product, we recommend that
you use your computer's power management functions to
turn the monitor off after extended idle periods.

7Adjusting the
Monitor
Picture Optimisation
The easiest way to obtain an optimal picture is by using the
monitor’s AUTO button. This only works reliably if the com-
puter’s graphics adaptor is set to use one of the monitor’s fac-
tory modes (see Table 1 in the previous chapter) and if you are
displaying an appropriate full-screen test pattern.
Windows users should run the adjustment software (Auto.exe)
from the Utilities floppy disk included with the monitor, to dis-
play the correct test pattern. Press the Auto button once while
the test pattern is displayed. You can quit Auto.exe by clicking
the left mouse button once and clicking on Exit.
Test patterns in TIFF and JPEG file formats are also available
from the File Downloads section of Mitsubishi Electric Austra-
lia’s web site at www.mitsubishi-electric.com.au. Follow the
link to the TFT LCD monitors page and download a pattern with
the resolution that you need. Display the test pattern at its
actual size (100% zoom), preferably at full screen and then
press the monitor’s Auto button.
If you are still not satisfied with the result, you can enhance the
image by using the monitor’s On Screen Display and its Geom-
etry adjustment functions.
