Q. I have a higher resolution than 1024*768
and the SRC™ states I have "Failed" the test. Is there anything wrong?
A. Absolutely not. wolfyserver.org 2k3 prefers 1024*768 pixels resolution
because that is the minimum size to view all the frames and graphics
correctly. Any resolution higher than the usual seventeen inch's is
perfectly fine. Be sure to have 32bit colour selected.
Q. When I switch resolutions as directed, my
screen flickers with traceable lines. What can I do?
A. This is a problem everyone faces even
without switching resolutions. Microsoft's Operating Systems including 9x,
NT, and XP set the refresh rate (how many times the screen is drawn in a
second) to optimal- meaning their definition of 60hz. 60hz is the worst
rate since it impairs eyesight over time and causes nausea. In addition,
games and websites will not look so great. Any refresh rate above 85hz is
flicker-free and will be much more comfortable for your eyes. Any higher
won't make much of a difference except in bragging rights. To change your
refresh rate (almost 90% of new computer owners have it set at 60hz) go to
the display properties by either 1. Right click on your desktop:
Properties: Setting or 2. Start: Control Panels: Display. For Apple OS,
Apple: Control Panels: Monitors and Colors. Next, check to see if you have
your desired resolution selected (1024*768 is ideal for 17-18 inch
monitors) and that your colour depth is at its highest. Click "Advanced"
and click "Adapter" for windows 9x & ME systems. Set the refresh rate to
85hz or higher. Click apply. For windows XP machines, the option is "List
All Modes" in your graphics card settings. Select "1024*768 32bit 85hz"
for our "optimal resolution." Click apply. Over time you will notice how
comfortable it is. Now you have truly made use of your money. |
