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 1024 x 768) and refresh rate (or vertical frequency-example 60 Hz).

After setting the timing mode, use the OnView® controls (pages 8 - 10) to adjust

the screen image.

The recommended timing mode for this ViewPanel is: VESA®1024 x 768 @ 60 Hz

To set the Timing Mode:

1Set the resolution: Right-click on the Windows®desktop > Properties >

Settings > Desktop Area or Screen Area for Windows 98 and newer > set

the resolution.

2Set the refresh rate: See your graphic card's user guide for instructions.

WARNING: Do not set the graphics card in your computer to exceed the

maximum refresh rate of 75Hz; doing so may result in permanent damage to

your ViewPanel.
