Configuring the Display Settings
After you connect your ChassisTouch FPD and turn on your computer,
you may need to configure one or more of these display settings. The
ideal settings for these monitors are as follows:
•
Display mode (also called desktop area or video resolution) 1024 x 768
(15.1") or 1280 x 1024 (17")
•
Refresh rate (also called vertical scan rate or vertical sync) 60 Hz
•
Color depth (also called color palette or number of colors) at least 16-bit
(high color)
Using the Standard Controls for the Video Card
In addition to the standard controls on the monitor, each video card has
several controls that let you adjust the display settings. The software
and driver for each video card is unique. In most cases, you adjust these
settings by using a program or utility provided by the manufacturer of
the video card.
For example, you can use the Windows Display Properties control panel
to adjust the desktop area (resolution), color depth, and refresh rate.
Whenever you change these settings, the image size, position, or shape
may change. This behavior is normal. You can readjust the image
using the monitor controls described in this chapter.
