26 Using the Display
Setting Display Resolution
To display a program at a specific resolution, both the graphics card and the display must support the
program, and the necessary video drivers must be installed.
Before you change any of the default display settings, make a note of the default settings for future
reference.
If you choose a resolution or color palette that is higher than the display supports, the settings adjust
automatically to the closest supported values.
