CHAPTER 3 OPERATION About Touchmonitor Adjustments Your touchmonitor will unlikely require adjustment. Variations in video output and application may require adjustments to your touchmonitor to optimize the quality of the display. For best performance, your touchmonitor should be operating in native resolution, that is 1280 x 1024 at 80k-75 Hz. Use the Display control panel in Windows to choose 1280 x 1024 resolution. Operating in other resolutions will degrade video performance.

APPE N DIX A NATIVE RESOLUTION The native resolution of a monitor is the resolution level at which the LCD panel is designed to perform best. For the Elo LCD touchmonitor, the native resolution is 1280 x 1024 for the SXGA-17 inch size. In almost all cases, screen images look best when viewed at their native resolution. You can lower the resolution setting of a monitor but not increase it.
As an example, a SVGA resolution LCD panel has 800 pixels horizontally by 600 pixels vertically. Input video is also represented by the same terms. XGA input video has a format of 1024 pixels horizontally by 768 pixels vertically. When the input pixels contained in the video input format match the native resolution of the panel, there is a one to one correspondence of mapping of input video pixels to LCD pixels.
