151 1How to adjust the screen resolution Due to the nature of liquid crystal display (LCD) technology, the picture resolution is always fixed. The best possible picture for your FP71V/FP71V+ is achieved with a resolution of 1280x1024. This is called “Native Resolution” or maximal resolution – that is, the clearest picture. Lower resolutions are displayed on a full screen through an interpolation circuit. However flaws do occur with the interpolated resolution.
161 1How to adjust the screen refresh rate You don’t have to choose the highest possible refresh rate on an LCD display, because it is not technically possible for an LCD display to flicker. The best results are obtained by using the factory modes already set in your computer. There is a table with the factory modes in the specification section of this User’s Manual. You can choose 60, 70 and 75 Hertz, (but not 72Hz) for the native resolution of 1280x1024. 1.
