1. Adjusting the screen resolution

Due to the nature of liquid crystal display (LCD) technology, the picture resolution is always fixed.
For the best display performance, please set the display resolution to 1440 x 900 pixels with an
aspect ratio of 16:10. 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. Image
blurring across pixel boundaries can occur with the interpolated resolution depending upon the
image type and its initial resolution.

To take full advantage of LCD technology you should select the native resolution setting of 1440 x 900 on
your PC screen resolution setting as described below. Be aware that not all PC video cards provide this
resolution value. If your doesn't, check with the video card manufacturer's website for a n updated driver fo r
your particular model PC video card which supports this resolution. Software video drivers are often
updated and available for new hardware video resolutions. If necessary, you may need to replace and
update the PC video card hardware to be able to support the native resolution of the monitor.
