one

 

or

of

 

the

 

following

 

video

 

settings.

 

In

 

the

 

Mirror

apply

 

to

 

both

 

your

computer

 

monitor

 

and

 

the

in

 

the

 

Extended

 

mode,

 

you

 

can

 

set

 

separate

 

settings

 

for

 

your

Resolution

:

 

refers

 

to

 

the

 

number

 

of

 

pixels

 

displayed

 

on

 

your

 

screen

 

horizontally

 

and

 

vertically.

 

A

 

higher

 

resolution

 

means

 

that

 

you

 

can

 

see

 

more

 

of

 

your

 

image

 

on

 

the

 

screen

 

without

 

scrolling

 

or

 

panning.

 

v

   

Color

 

depth

:

 

defines

 

the

 

number

 

of

 

different

 

colors

 

that

 

can

 

be

 

shown

 

on

 

the

 

screen

 

at

 

the

 

same

 

time.

 

The

 

greater

 

the

 

color

 

depth

 

is,

 

the

 

better

 

the

 

picture

 

quality

 

is.

 

v

   

Refresh

 

rate

 

(also

 

called

 

vertical

 

frequency):

 

measures

 

the

 

speed

 

that

 

the

 

entire

 

screen

 

is

 

rescanned.

 

Higher

 

frequencies

 

reduce

 

flicker

 

because

 

they

 

light

 

the

 

pixels

 

more

 

frequently,

 

thereby

 

reducing

 

the

 

dimming

 

that

 

causes

 

flicker.
