How to adjust the screen resolution

How to adjust the screen resolution

Due to the nature of liquid crystal display (LCD) technology, the picture resolution is always 
fixed. The best possible picture for your FP202W

 V2

 is achieved with a resolution of 1680 x 1050. 

This is called “Native Resolution” or maximal resolution – that is, the clearest picture. Lower 
resolutions are displayed on a full screen through an interpolation circuit. Image blurring across 
pixel boundaries can occur with the interpolated resolution depending upon the image type and 
its initial resolution.

To take full advantage of LCD technology you should select the native resolution setting 
of 1680 x 1050 on your PC screen resolution setting as described below. Be aware that not 
all PC video cards provide this resolution value. If your doesn't, check with the video card 
manufacturer's website for an updated driver for your particular model PC video card 
which supports this resolution. Software video drivers are often updated and available for 
new hardware video resolutions. If necessary, you may need to replace and update the PC 
video card hardware to be able to support the native resolution of the monitor.

1. Open Display Properties and select the Settings tab. 

You can open Display Properties by right-clicking on the Windows desktop and selecting Properties 
from the pop-up menu.

2. Use the slider in the ‘Screen area’ section to adjust the screen resolution.

Select the recommended resolution of 1680 x 1050 then click Apply.

If you select some other resolution, be aware that this other resolution is interpolated and 
may not accurately display the screen image as well as it could do at the native resolution 
setting.

3. Click OK then Yes.  

4. Close the Display Properties window.
