Using Your Monitor

Setting the Amount of Displayed Information

To set the amount of displayed information, change the screen resolution of your PC. The higher the screen resolution, the more information you can see on the screen. It is recommended that you use a resolution of 1024×768 at 85Hz. This gives easy-to-read characters, a large amount of displayed information, and a flicker-free image.

You can make adjustments to the displayed image and they are automatically saved for the resolution you are using. For example, if you adjust your monitor when working in SVGA those settings are saved for SVGA. If you then work in VGA and change the image settings, they are saved for VGA. The next time you switch back to SVGA, your previous settings are used automatically.

To find out which resolutions are supported by your monitor, refer to “What Video Modes are Supported” on page 13. To change the screen resolution, please refer to the manual that came with your PC or your operating system documentation, if necessary.

Your monitor has a Plug and Play capability (VESA DDC1/2B standard) that enables it to identify itself to suitably equipped HP PCs. This will automatically give you the best refresh rate for the resolution that you have set. Also, by using the appropriate software (when available), you can adjust the monitor settings directly from your PC.

Minimizing Eye Strain

To avoid screen flicker and minimize eye strain, use the highest supported image refresh rate for the chosen resolution. The image refresh rate is the number of times per second that the image is refreshed. It is recommended that you use a resolution of 1024×768 at 85Hz refresh rate.

To find out which image refresh rates are supported by your monitor, refer to “What Video Modes are Supported” on page 13. To set the image refresh rate (also known as the vertical frequency), refer to the manual that came with your PC or your operating system documentation, if necessary. If your PC supports Plug and Play, it will automatically select the best refresh rate for the screen resolution you have set.
