Adjusting the screen resolution

Adjusting the screen resolution

Due to the nature of liquid crystal display (LCD) technology, the picture resolution is always

fixed. For the best display performance, please set the display to its maximum resolution that is

the same with the monitor aspect ratio. This is called "Native Resolution" or maximal resolution

– that is, the clearest picture. Please refer to the table below for the native resolution of your

LCD. Lower resolutions are displayed on a full screen through an interpolation circuit. Image

blurring across pixel boundaries can occur with the interpolated resolution depending upon the

image type and its initial resolution.

image scaling options can be found in the "Display Mode" adjustment. See the user manual for

more information.

• To take full advantage of LCD technology you should select the native resolution setting of your PC screen as

described below. Be aware that not all PC video cards provide this resolution value. If yours doesn't, check

with the video card manufacturer's website for an updated driver for your particular model PC video card

which supports this resolution. Software video drivers are often updated and available for new hardware video

resolutions. If necessary, you may need to replace and update the PC video card hardware to be able to

support the native resolution of the monitor.

• Depending on the operating system on your PC, different procedures should be followed to adjust the screen

resolution. Refer to the help document of your operating system for details.

If you select some other resolution, be aware that this other resolution is interpolated and may not accurately

display the screen image as well as it could do at the native resolution setting.
