How to install your monitor hardware
1. Attach the monitor base.
Protect the monitor and screen by clearing a flat open area
on your desk and placing a soft item like the monitor
packaging bag on the desk for padding.
Lay the screen face down on a flat clean padded surface.
Whilst holding the monitor firmly against the desk, pull
the monitor stand arm upwards clear of the monitor.
Orient and align the stand base socket with the end of the
stand arm, then push them together until they click and
lock into place.
Gently attempt to pull them back apart to check that they
have properly engaged.
Carefully lift the monitor, turn it over and place it upright
on its stand on a flat even surface.

How 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 FP51G is achieved with a resolution of 1024 x 768. 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.
To take full advantage of LCD technology you should select the native resolution setting
of 1024x768.
1. Open Display Properties and select the Settings tab.
You c a n o p e n Display Properties by right-clicking on the Windows desktop and selecting Properties
from the pop-up menu.
2. Use the slider in the ‘Screen area’ section to adjust the screen resolution.
Select the recommended resolution of 1024 x 768 then click Apply.
If you select some other resolution, be aware that this other resolution is interpolated and
may not accurately display the screen image as well as it could do at the native resolution
setting.
3. Click OK then Ye s .
4. Close the Display Properties window.
