You can connect two monitors to any two of the onboard VGA, DVI-D, and HDMI ports. Note that DVI-D/HDMI dual output works in OS environment only and that during POST or BIOS setup, only DVI-D output is valid. • Due to the Intel® VGA driver issue, the Windows® Display Settings menu may offer some resolution options that your monitor does not support. When you set a resolution not supported by your monitor, it will black out. If this happens, wait 15 seconds for the system to return to its original setting or restart the system and press F8 to enter Safe Mode. In Safe Mode, change the display setting to 800 x 600, and then restart the system to adjust the monitor resolution from the Windows® Display Settings menu. • Due to the Intel® driver issue, some monitor resolution settings will lead to monitor overscan or underscan. Refer to the next page for the troubleshooting on monitor overscan/underscan problem • Playback of Blu-Ray Discs The speed and bandwidth of the CPU/Memory, DVD player, and drivers will affect the playback quality. Using the CPU/Memory of higher speed and bandwidth with the higher-version DVD player and drivers will upgrade the playback quality. • To play Blu-Ray Disc, make sure to use an HDCP compliant monitor. • You can only play Blu-Ray Disc under Windows® Vista™ / 7™ OS. 2-30 Chapter 2: Hardware information
