English 3 Using the Display HP Pavilion Multimedia Displays Setting the Screen Resolution The screen resolution determines the amount of information shown in the display. Screen resolution refers to the number of the dots or pixels used to make up an image. A low screen resolution means that the display uses a relatively small number of relatively large dots. A higher resolution means that more dots of a smaller size make up the image. With higher screen resolutions, icons, windows, and text are smaller on the screen, but more information can be displayed. The screen resolution is set on the computer.

Setting the Screen
Resolution
The
screen resolution
determines the
amount of information shown in the
display. Screen resolution refers to
the number of the dots or
pixels
used
to make up an image. A low screen
resolution means that the display uses
a relatively small number of
relatively large dots. A higher
resolution means that more dots of a
smaller size make up the image. With
higher screen resolutions, icons,
windows, and text are smaller on the
screen, but more information can be
displayed.
The screen resolution is set on the
computer. The display supports many
common screen resolutions, as shown in
“M40 Video Modes,” “M50 Video Modes,”
and “M70 Video Modes” in Chapter 5.
Check the documentation supplied with
your computer and video adapter to
find out which resolutions they
support.
Minimizing Eyestrain
To minimize eyestrain and avoid screen
flicker, use the highest possible
image refresh
rate
or
vertical
frequency
supported by your computer
at the current screen resolution. (The
image refresh rate is the number of
times per second that the image is
refreshed.) The tables in “M40 Video
Modes,” “M50 Video Modes,” and “M70
