Selecting Screen Resolution

4 Selecting Screen Resolution
Refer to your monitor documentation for its supported resolutions. If your
monitor complies with automatic detection (DDC or display data channel),
your monitor automatically uses the highest resolution and refresh rate that
fits in the available frame buffer. If you want to select another resolution or
refresh rate, use these instructions.
If your monitor does not comply with automatic detection, when you first
turn the
NC
on, the display uses a default resolution that depends on the
installed video cable and monitor capabilities. Your monitor might not
support this setting or this setting might not provide the highest resolution
and refresh rate that your monitor supports.
The Boot Monitor provides a menu that selects the correct resolution and
changes the dpi (dots per inch) setting for the monitor.
Caution
If you are using third-party monitors, you might damage your monitor by selecting
the wrong screen resolution. Make sure your monitor supports your selection.
If you are using NCD monitors, you will get a blank screen if you select a screen
resolution that is outside the range of your monitor.
To change the resolution:
1. Turn on the system or reboot (if the system is already on).
2. After the Boot Monitor title and version number, messages similar to the
following appear. Press the Escape key to interrupt the booting process
and access the Boot Monitor prompt (>).
