1.First, click on ‘Control Panel’ on the Windows start menu.

2.When the control panel window appears, click on ‘Appearance and Themes’ and a display dialog- box will appear.

3.When the control panel window appears, click on ‘Display’ and a display dialog-box will appear.

4.Navigate to the ‘Settings’ tab on the display dialog-box.

The correct size setting (resolution): Optimum: 1920 X 1080 pixels

If a vertical frequency option exists on your display settings dialog box, the correct value is “60” or “60 Hz”. Otherwise, just click “OK” and exit the dialog box.

Display Modes

If the signal from the system equals the standard signal mode, the screen is adjusted automatically. If the signal from the system doesn’t equal the standard signal mode, adjust the mode by referring to your videocard user guide; otherwise there may be no video. For the display modes listed below, the screen image has been optimized during manufacturing.
