User Guide

note:
The best possible resolution quality for your monitor is the native resolution. The native
resolution setting for your model of monitor can be found in the Monitor User Guide, the
monitor's product packaging, and product specifications.
1. Restart the computer and press F8 repeatedly after the first logo screen.
2. Select Enable Low Resolution Video (640 x 480) from the Advanced Options Menu.
3. Windows should open showing a Windows desktop in a resolution of 640 x 480. Icons
and windows appear much larger on the screen. You will need to use the Windows scroll
bars to access the lower buttons in some windows.
4. In Windows Vista, click Start , Control Panel, and click Adjust Screen Resolution in
Appearance and Personalization.
In Windows XP, click Start, Settings, Control Panel and then double-click the Display
icon and select the Settings tab.
5. Move the slider bar until a compatible resolution for the monitor is set, click OK.
note:
You should notice a change in resolution after selecting OK - the icons and windows
should appear smaller in size. If not, adjust the display resolution again.
6. Restart the computer.
7. If the native resolution is not available from the slider bar, click Advanced Settings, click
List All Modes (from the Adapter tab), select the resolution, and click OK.
8. Restart the computer and note what happens.
 If Windows does not open and the message appears on the monitor, Windows
is not loading or the monitor is not capable of displaying the basic display mode
sent by Windows. Connect the monitor to another computer, such as laptop.
Doing so will help you determine whether the monitor is bad or if the computer
you are trying connect is having a startup problem. If the monitor cannot accept
standard video signals from multiple computers, the monitor should be replaced
or repaired.
 If Windows desktop opens in safe mode, the issue is related to the display
resolution being used in normal operation (not safe mode). You should set the
normal display resolution on the computer to the native display resolution of
the monitor. To do this, you might need to reinstall the video drivers for your
computer or temporarily connect another monitor.
If the native resolution setting is not available as a selection in Windows, you
can temporarily use 1024 x 768 to complete these steps. However, you should
update the graphics driver on the computer. Updating the graphics driver can
provide more display resolutions to Windows; possibly including the native
display resolution for the monitor.
