• This motherboard comes with dual VGA output that features different display on two monitors at the same time if you connect two monitors to both VGA and DVI-D ports.

DVI-D cannot be converted to output RGB Signal to CRT and is not compatible with DVI-I.

To play HD DVD or Blu-Ray Disc, make sure to use an HDCP compliant monitor.

Due to the Intel® VGA driver issue, the Windows® Display Settings menu may offer some resolution options that your monitor does not support. When you set a resolution not supported by your monitor, it will black out. If this happens, wait 15 seconds for the system to return to its original setting or restart the system and press F8 to enter Safe Mode. In Safe Mode, change the display setting to 800 x 600, and then restart the system to adjust the monitor resolution from the Windows® Display Settings menu.

Due to the Intel® driver issue, some monitor resolution settings will lead to monitor overscan or underscan. Refer to the next page for the troubleshooting on monitor overscan/underscan problem
