Select from list: Use resolution/refresh rate settings optimized for
your specific monitor. |
|
- Select the appropriate Dell™ monitor type, or DDC Monitor.
If you do not have a Dell or DDC Monitor or are not sure, choose the Generic
Monitor selection.
A list on the right menu panel displays resolutions and - for each resolution - the
maximum refresh rate, as supported by the selected monitor.
If the selected monitor does not support the current video mode (specified in the Settings
dialog), the resolution/refresh rate setting will be automatically reduced.
- Select the desired refresh rate in the Refresh Frequency section. All refresh
rates supported by the monitor for the currently selected resolution are displayed.

DDC Monitor: Select this option and click the Apply or OK
button if you want the driver to automatically decode the monitor's DDC information
on each reboot/NT 4.0 start.
To detect a new DDC monitor immediately, click the Detect now button. An error
message will be displayed if the connected monitor does not support DDC.
The Refresh Rate section displays the maximum refresh rate supported by the monitor
for the currently selected resolution. |
|
Gamma Correction Adjustment: Adjust the monitor's gamma correction for optimal
brightness. |
|
When this slider is changed the gamma correction table modifies each pixel's color
value.
The brightness produced at the face of the display is proportional to the input voltage
raised to the power gamma. This nonlinearity must be compensated to achieve correct
reproduction of the image's brightness. The effect of display gamma is to darken the
midtones relative to the dark and light regions. The gamma correction adjustment affects
the entire screen display. Changes to the gamma correction are saved on system level,
independent of the currently active application profile.
The possible setting range is 0.3 - 4.0. The default setting is 1.0.
Click the >1< button to set the gamma correction to the default
value of 1.0. |
