Using your monitor

Setting the Timing Mode

Setting the timing mode is important for maximizing the quality of the screen image and minimizing eye strain. The timing mode consists of the resolution (example: 1024 x 768) and refresh rate (or vertical frequency, example: 85 Hz).

For the best picture quality set your monitor to: VESA® 1024 x 768@ 85 Hz.

To set the Resolution:

1Right-click on the Windows desktop.

2Click Properties on the drop-down menu.

3 Click the Settings tab.

4Select the resolution by moving the slider, which displays in the Desktop area or Screen area in the window.

NOTE: The refresh rate should already be set if you have completed the ViewSonic Wizard CD installation (or refer to your graphics card’s documentation).
