To add a new customized resolution, edit the timing parameters and press the action button

If you want to define a customized output resolution with 24Hz (or 48Hz/72Hz) refresh rate, enter 23.98 (or 47.95/71.93), instead of 24.00 (or 48.00/72.00), in the Refresh Rate numeric box. This is because 24Hz (or 48Hz/72Hz) output is shorthand for the actual 24Hz ÷ 1.001 (or 48Hz 1.001/72Hz 1.001) industrial standard refresh rate

To exit without adding a new resolution, simply press the action button

After a customized resolution is defined, you still need to press the action button to make the new resolution effective. A confirmation box will appear for about 10 seconds for you to confirm the new resolution. If the new resolution is not confirmed, Crystalio II will revert to the previous resolution in case your display did not lock to the new resolution

You can also name the new customized resolution to help with identification.

16:9 means the aspect ratio of the display is 16:9. Typical display devices with this aspect ratio are many LCDTV, Plasma TV, Home Theater projectors and CRT projectors which are tuned to show a 16:9 image

2.35:1 means the aspect ratio of the display is 2.35:1. Typical display devices are 16:9 Home Theater projectors which are equipped with an anamorphic lens to compress the image from 16:9 to 2.35:1

Same as Resolution ratio means that the screen aspect ratio will be defined by the actual
