Using the Monitor Setting the Timing Mode Setting the timing mode is important for maximizing the quality of the screen image and minimizing eye strain.

After setting the timing mode, use the OnView® controls to adjust the screen image. For the best picture quality set your monitor timing mode to: VESA 1024 x 768 @ 85 Hz. To set the Resolution: 1 Right-click on the Windows desktop.
