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 FP222W 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.
