graphics card control panel or update to the latest graphics card driver.
Support settings are subject to change.
Failing to set the graphics card to the recommended (optimal) resolution may result in blurred text, a dimmed
screen, a truncated display area, or misalignment of the display.
The configuration procedure may differ depending on your computer and/or operating system. Also, some graphics
cards may not support certain resolutions. If this is the case, contact the manufacturer of the computer or graphics

may not support the resolution.
