- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.1. Refresh rate ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The refresh rate is the frequency with which the screen is redrawn. At a
- refresh rate of 60Hz, the screen image is redrawn 60 times per second.
-
- The higher the refresh rate, the steadier the image on the screen. You will
- want to select the highest refresh rate your monitor can display correctly.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Finding the current refresh rate ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- When you open the Number Nine I-128 object, one of the four refresh-rate
- buttons is selected. The selected button indicates the current refresh rate.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Trying a new refresh rate ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- To try a new refresh rate, select the Try button.
-
- Your monitor will be switched to the new refresh rate. After five seconds, it
- will be returned to the refresh rate in effect when you opened the I-128
- object.
-
- If your screen looked stable at the new refresh rate, you may set it.
-
- If your screen did not look stable, do not set the new refresh rate. Some
- monitors will not function correctly at the higher refresh rates. Such monitors
- can be damaged if operated beyond their capacity.
-
- To help you avoid choosing too high a refresh rate by mistake, you cannot set a
- new refresh rate before you try it.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Selecting a new refresh rate ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- To select a new refresh rate, you may click with your mouse on one of the four
- radio buttons. Or you may select a radio button by using the cursor keys on
- your keyboard.
-
- The radio button selected when you first open the Number Nine I-128 object is
- the current refresh rate.
-
- While the current refresh rate is selected, the Try button is inactive. When
- you select a new refresh rate, the Try button is activated.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. Setting a new refresh rate ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- To set a refresh rate, press the Set button. Your monitor will immediately
- switch to the new refresh rate, and the new refresh rate will be saved as the
- new default for your current resolution.
-
- To help you avoid saving a refresh rate that is not appropriate for your
- monitor, the Set button is activated only after you have tried a new refresh
- rate. Do not set a refresh rate if your screen appears black or unsteady when
- you try it.
-
- The Number Nine I-128 sets and saves refresh rates separately for each
- resolution.
-
- If you change the resolution of the PM desktop, you may initially find the
- refresh rate back at the default 60Hz. When you return your desktop to a
- previously selected resolution, the refresh rate will return to the value you
- last set at that resolution.
