This includes items such as the background image, the screen saver, the Active Desktop (Web) as well as other settings for your monitor and video card. The program can be started as follows: · Right mouse click on Windows desk top and left mouse click on "Properties". Or · Start the "Display" program in "System control". START-UP 5 (Ill. : Display Properties) The resolution can be set under "Screen resolution" ( ). TFT monitors achieve complete image quality at the physical resolution. Then click "Color quality" ( ) to set the color depth (number of colors displayed). Your monitor supports a maximum color depth of 16 million colors corresponding to 32 bit or "True Color". A window with the characteristics of your video card appears depending on the configuration of your computer. Under "Adapter" you can change the desired value in the selection field "List All Modes. . . ". (Ill. : Details of Display Properties) Caution!If your setting does not coincide with the values supported by your display, you may not see any image. Switch your old device on again and set the applicable values under "Display Properties" in accordance with the aforementioned options in this case. 6 ENGLISH Fixing the Monitor base Mount the monitor stand as shown in the diagram. Perform this step before connecting the monitor. (Ill. : Fixing the monitor base) Connecting the Monitor To start using the TFT monitor straight away, please read the "Safety and Precautions" section (page 1). We recommend that you also read all the other sections as these contain detailed explanations and tips on how to use your TFT display. I O On/Off switch power supply VGA DVI Audio connection connection connection (Ill. : Rearside connectors) · Ensure that the TFT monitor is not yet connected to the line power (power cord not yet plugged in) and neither the TFT monitor nor the computer is switched on. · Prepare your computer for the TFT monitor if necessary with the correct settings for your TFT. Connecting Signal Cable · Plug the data cable into the matching VGA connections on the computer and the monitor. You will be able to connect your monitor by means of the DVI connector if your PC also has a DVI output. Connecting Audio Cable · Plug the audio cable into the matching sockets on the computer.
