C HAPTER 3 O PERATION
Variations in video output and application will likely require you to adjust your
touchmonitor to optimize the quality of the display.
For best performance, your monitor should be operating in native resolution;
that is, 1280 x 1024 at 75 Hz. Use the Display control panel in Windows to
choose 1280 x 1024 resolution.
Operating in other resolutions will degrade video performance. For further
information, please refer to Appendix A.
All adjustments you make to the controls are automatically memorized. This
feature saves you from having to reset your choices every time you unplug or
power your touchmonitor off and on. If there is a power failure, your
touchmonitor settings will not default to the factory specifications.
