Using the Monitor
Setting the Timing Mode
Setting the timing mode is important for maximizing the quality of the screen image and
minimizing eye strain. The timing mode consists of the resolution (example 1024 x 768) and
refresh rate (or vertical frequency; example 85 Hz). After setting the timing mode, use the
OnView® controls to adjust the screen image.
For the best picture quality set your monitor timing mode to:
VESA 1600 x 1200 @ 85 Hz.
To set the Timing Mode:
1. Set the resolution: Right-click on the Windows desktop > Properties > Settings > set the
resolution.
2. Set the refresh rate: See your graphic card’s user guide for instructions.
Note: The refresh rate should already be set if you have done the CD installation (or refer to
your graphics card documentation).
