Setting the Screen Resolution The screen resolution determines the amount of information shown in the display. Screen resolution refers to the number of 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 monitor supports many common screen resolutions. The suggested resolution is 1024 x 768 (dots x lines) at a refresh rate of 85 Hz. Use the Display Properties in the Windows Control Panel to set the screen resolution. To select the screen refresh rate, see "To select the screen refresh rate" on page 15. To set the screen resolution 1 Right-click an empty part of the desktop. 2 Click Properties.
