5. How to adjust the screen resolution
Due to the nature of liquid crystal display (LCD) technology, the screen resolution is always fixed. The best possible picture for your VS238H is achieved with a resolution of 1920 x 1200. 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 1920 x 1200 on your PC screen resolution setting as described below. Then press the t or u keys adjust the monitor until the noise disappears.
