Each video card has several controls that allow you to adjust the display settings,
however, the software and driver for each video card is unique. In most cases, you
can adjust these settings using a program or utility provided by the manufacturer of
the video card. Most video cards use the Windows Display Properties control panel to
congure the display. To open the Windows Display Properties, click the right mouse
button in a blank area of the Windows desktop and then select Properties. The Settings
tab usually lets you change the Color Palette and the Desktop Area (X by Y pixel
resolution).
Some video cards integrate additional features into the Windows Display Properties
control panel giving you an extra setup options that are exible and easy to use.
Forexample, the control panel may include an Advanced Properties button, an
Adjustment tab, or a Refresh tab for changing other settings. Other video cards have a
separate utility for setting display properties.
Whenever you change the resolution, color, or refresh rate, the image size, position,
or shape may change. This behavior is normal.You can readjust the image using the
monitor on-screen controls. For more information on the monitor on-screen controls,
refer to Panel controls and OSD functions. For more information on conguring the
display settings, please refer to the manual that accompanied your video card.
