Click on the model of monitor that you have.
The monitor details are updated in the fields below the list.
4.
If your monitor is not included in the list, do one of the following:
•
Scroll to the top of the list and choose an item from the list of Typical
monitors that closely matches your monitor’s capabilities.
•
If you have your monitor manual available, use the fields below the list of
monitors to enter the horizontal and vertical sync ranges using the arrows.

Selecting A Video Mode
Based on your video card and monitor, the next screen presents a list of available
video modes. These modes define:
•
Screen resolution
•
Refresh rate (higher refresh rates cause less screen flicker and eye strain)
•
Color Depth (in bits, as described later)
•
Availability (if the installation program calculates that the mode should
function properly on your system)
