Q: When I install my monitor what should I do if the screen shows 'Cannot display this video
mode'?

'Settings' tab. Under the setting tab, in box labeled 'desktop area', move the
slidebar to 1360x768 pixels (42").
3. Open 'Advanced Properties' and set the Refresh Rate to 60Hz, then click OK.
4. Restart your computer and repeat step 2 and 3 to verify that your PC is set at
1360x768@60Hz (42").
5. Shut down your computer, disconnect your old monitor and reconnect your
Philips LCD monitor.

Q: What should I do when screen shows: THIS IS 85HZ OVERSCAN, CHANGE COMPUTER
DISPLAY INPUT TO 1360 x 768 @60HZ?

monitor can display. New Generation LCD intelligent monitor capabilities temporarily
override the overscan, providing you with 10 minutes to reset timing to recommended
settings.
