Chapter 1 Getting Started With Your CRT Desktop Monitor 19
Configuring the Display Settings
After you connect your CRT desktop touch monitor and turn on
your computer, the Add New Hardware Wizard should appear
because this monitor is a plug and play device.
1. Choose the "Display a list of drivers..." option.
2. Then click on the "Have Disk" option.
3. Insert the Monitor Installation Disk (included with this monitor) and
select the appropriate monitor from the list.
4. Click "Next" and the proper preset timing files will be installed for
your monitor.
You may need to configure one or more of these display settings.
The ideal settings for the 15” and 17” monitors are as follows:
• Display mode (also called desktop area or video resolution) 1024 x 768
• Refresh rate (also called vertical scan rate or vertical sync) 85 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.
