5 Choosing the best picture resolution Due to the nature of LCD display technology, the picture resolution is always fixed. The best picture possible for your FP785 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.

6 How to choose the right 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 this user’s guide. Youc an choose 60 Hertz, (but not 72Hz) for the native resolution of 1280x1024. In Windows 98/2000/ME/XP you can change the refresh rate as follows: 1.
2. From the “Display Properties” window, select the “Settings” tab. Click the “Advanced...” button in the bottom right corner.

In the subsequent windows press “Change”, “OK” and “Yes”. 6. You can now close “Display Properties”.
7 How to set the Picture Optimization The easiest way to obtain an optimal display is to use the ikey function. Press the “ikey” on the control panel and the monitor will adjust automatically. If you are still not satisfied with the result, you can still adjust the image manually. 1. Run the test program auto.exe from CD-ROM; this is the best way to observe possible changes. You can also use any other image, such as the desktop of your operating system. However, we recommend that you use auto.exe.
