Using Your Monitor

Setting the Amount of Displayed Information

To set the amount of displayed information, change the screen resolution of your computer. The higher the screen resolution, the more information you can see on the screen. It is recommended that you use a resolution of

1280×1024 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 and refresh rates are supported by your monitor,refer to “What Video Modes are Supported” on page 14. To change the screen resolution, please refer to the manual that came with your computer or your operating system documentation, if necessary. To set the image refresh rate (also known as the vertical frequency), refer to the manual that came with your computer or your operating system.

Your monitor has a Plug and Play capability (VESA DDC2B standard) that enables it to identify itself to suitably equipped HP computers. This will automatically give you the best refresh rate for the resolution you have set. Also, by using the appropriate software (when available), you can adjust the monitor’s settings directly from your computer.
