There are three components that make up the screen mode:
Resolution: In common usage, this refers to the number of pixels displayed on screen horizontally and vertically.
Refresh rate: Measures the speed that the entire screen is rescanned. Higher frequencies reduce flicker.
Some monitors advertise the supported modes through the video connector. If this is the case, the adapter identifies the supported modes from the monitor. If the monitor does not advertise the supported modes, the adapter software chooses a set of common screen modes for the monitor.
The software supports the modes listed below.
| About the resolutions and refresh rates available to users The resolutions and refresh rates available to the user through Windows are a comprise of the support from the following elements: ■ The USB display adapter ■ The primary monitor and the secondary monitor ■ The primary video card on your computer and installed drivers Therefore, for example, if your monitor doesn’t support a resolution of 1920x1080, then 1920x1080 is not possible even you are using a USB display adapter with 1920x1080 support. This ensures that the monitor cannot be put into an unsupported mode, which might damage it. |
If cloning the primary display, the video component will try to use the preferred monitor mode. In some cases, this may not be the most appropriate mode for the cloned desktop. It is recommended that the primary display resolution be changed to closer match the default resolution of the secondary monitor.
