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 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 and they are automatically saved for the resolution you are using. For example, if you adjust your display 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 display, refer to “What Video Modes are Supported” on page 9. To change the screen resolution, please refer to the manual that came with your PC or your operating system documentation, if necessary.
