Setting the Amount of Displayed Information
To set the amount of displayed information, change the screen resolution of
your computer. The higher the screen resolution, the more information you
can see on the screen. It is recommended that you use a resolution of
1280×1024 at 85Hz. This gives easy-to-read characters, a large amount of
displayed information, and a flicker-free image.
You can make adjustments to the displayed image and they are automatically
saved for the resolution you are using. For example, if you adjust your monitor
when working in SVGA those settings are saved for SVGA. If you then work in
VGA and change the image settings, they are saved for VGA. The next time
you switch back to SVGA, your previous settings are used automatically.
To find out which resolutions and refresh rates are supported by your
monitor,refer to “What Video Modes are Supported” on page 14. To change
the screen resolution, please refer to the manual that came with your
computer or your operating system documentation, if necessary. To set the
image refresh rate (also known as the vertical frequency), refer to the
manual that came with your computer or your operating system.
Your monitor has a Plug and Play capability (VESA DDC2B standard) that
enables it to identify itself to suitably equipped HP computers. This will
automatically give you the best refresh rate for the resolution you have set.
Also, by using the appropriate software (when available), you can adjust the
monitor’s settings directly from your computer.
