Configuring the Display Settings
After you connect your M170 FPD and turn on your computer, you may need to
configure one or more of these display settings. The ideal settings for this monitor are as
follows:
• Display mode (also called desktop area or video resolution) 1280 x 1024
• Refresh rate (also called vertical scan rate or vertical sync) 60 Hz
• Color depth (also called color palette or number of colors) at least 16-bit (high color)
Using the Standard Controls for the Video Card
In addition to the standard controls on the monitor, each video card has several controls
that let you adjust the display settings. The software and driver for each video card is
unique. In most cases, you adjust these settings by using a program or utility provided by
the manufacturer of the video card.
For example, you can use the Windows Display Properties control panel to adjust the
desktop area (resolution), color depth, and refresh rate. Whenever you change these
settings or calibrate the touch screen, the image size, position, or shape may change. This
behavior is normal. You can readjust the image using the monitor controls described in
Chapter 3 of this guide.
For more information on adjusting the desktop area (resolution), color depth, or refresh
rate, refer to your video card documentation.
