Recommendations for your PC

The M1500 Marine Monitor complies with VESA DDC1/2B Windows Plug and Play. A computer running Windows 2000, XP and later versions may interrogate the monitor for its technical characteristics.

For best results Raymarine recommend that you set the PC to match the display characteristics as follows:

Resolution

Refresh Rate

 

 

640 x 480

60 Hz

 

 

800 x 600

72 Hz

 

 

1024 x 768

60 Hz

1024 x 768

70 Hz

 

 

1280 x 1024

60 Hz

 

 

Note: 1024 x 768 at 60Hz is the preferred resolution and refresh rate.

Unlike CRT Displays, LCD displays do not flicker, hence selecting a higher re- fresh rate provides no advantage.
