Using the 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 800 x 600) and refresh rate (or vertical frequency; example 75 Hz). After setting the timing mode, use the OnView® controls to adjust the screen image.

The recommended timing mode for this monitor is:

VESA 800 x 600 @ 75 Hz

To set the Timing Mode:

1Set the resolution: Right-click on the Windows® desktop > Properties > Settings > Desktop (Screen Area for Windows 98 and newer) > set the resolution.

2Set the refresh rate: See your graphic card's user guide for instructions.

NOTE: To minimize the adjustments required for an optimal screen image, select a timing mode from the Preset Timing Modes table below.
