Using the ViewPanel
Setting the Timing Mode
Setting the timing mode is important for maximizing the quality of the screen image
and minimizing eye strain. The timing mode consists of the resolution (example
1280 x 1024) and refresh rate (or vertical frequency — example 60 Hz). After
setting the timing mode, use the OnView
®
controls to adjust the screen image.
The recommended timing mode for this ViewPanel is:
VESA
®
1280 x 1024 @ 60 Hz
To set the Timing Mode:
1 Set the resolution: Right-click on the Windows
®
desktop > Properties >
Settings > set the resolution.
2 Set the refresh rate: See your graphic card's user guide for instructions.
