• Default setting

 

For a composite color monitor, such as a color television with video input, try selecting Color 80x25. If the monitor’s resolution is poor, run SETUP again and select Color 40x25.

If you have two display adapters of different types, select the setting for the one you want to be your primary display adapter. The other one is your secondary adapter.

If you install one type of display adapter card and then change the adapter (from VGA to CGA or vice-versa), you also may need to change the setting of DIP switch 5. If you have two types of cards, set the jumper and DIP switch to match the adapter controlling your primary display. See Chapter 4 for instructions on changing jumper settings and the manual that came with your monitor for additional information.
