Q: What does "refresh rate" mean to me in an LCD monitor? A: For LCD monitors, the refresh rate is much less relevant. LCD monitors display a stable, flicker-free image at 60Hz. There is no visible differences between 85Hz and 60Hz. Q: What are the .inf and .icm files on the setup disk & CD-ROM? How do I install the drivers (.inf and [...]

Q: Does Refresh Rate mean to LCD? A: Unlike CRT display technology in which the speed the electron beam is swept from the top to the bottom of the screen determines flicker, an active matrix display uses an active element (TFT) to control each individual pixel and thus refresh rate is not really applicable to LCD technology. Q: Will the LCD screen [...]

Q: When I install my monitor, how do I get the best performance for the monitor? A: For best performance, make sure your display settings are set at 1024x768@60Hz for 14"/15", 1280x1024@60Hz for 17"/18". Note: You can check the current display settings by pressing the OSD OK button once. The current display mode is shown in prod[...]

More and more peripherals for multimedia com[...]

Q: What differentiates passive matrix LCDs from active matrix LCDs? A: An LCD is made with either a passive matrix or an active matrix display grid. An active matrix has a transistor located at each pixel intersection, requiring less current to control the luminance of a pixel. For this reason, the current in an active matrix display can be switche[...]

Q: What kind of wide-angle technology is available? How does it work? A: The TFT LCD panel is an element controls/displays inlet of a backlight using the dual-refraction of liquid crystal. Using the property that the projection of inlet light refracts toward the major axis of the liquid element, it controls the direction of inlet light and displays[...]
