Setting the Amount of Displayed Information

It is recommended that you use a resolution of 800 x 600 at 85 Hz. 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 which 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 8. To change the screen resolution, please refer to the manual that came with your computer or your operating system documentation.

Your monitor has a Plug and Play capability (VESA DDC1/2B standard) which enables it to identify itself to suitably equipped HP computers. 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 computer
