1. What is the optimum resolution setting for my monitor?

An LCD monitor has a fixed number of pixels. If it receives a signal lower than its native resolution it must be scaled up in size through interpolation with an image scaler. For optimal performance the monitor should be run at its native resolution:

LCD monitors native resolution:

1024 by 768 for monitor size 15"
1280 by 1024 for monitor sizes: 17", 17.4" 18" 19"
1600 by 1280 for monitor sizes: 20.1" and larger

5. Is my monitor compatible with Macintosh computers?

6. What is the proper care for cleaning for my monitor?

For AGNPRO monitors with exclusive NeoV Crystal Optic Filter Technology and the hardened glass exterior, you can use commercially available computer screen cleaners or optical lens cleaners e.g. for sunglasses and buff with a soft cloth. A damp cloth with mild soap can also be effective, but no abrasive cleaners. We also do not recommend frequent use of Ammonia based household cleaners as they may damage the optical coatings on the display.

For AGNPRO monitors without exclusive NeoV Crystal Optic Filter Technology, use only cleaning products specifically designed to clean LCD monitors and do not apply heavy pressure when cleaning the surface.

8. What is the one touch Auto-adjust function?

In analog mode running through the VGA port, the auto adjust function re-calibrates the to factory defaults and re-centers the image in the middle of the screen by controlling the scaling, comparing internal clocks to the input video and synchronization.

9. Why doesn't the one touch Auto-adjust work in DVI mode?

The auto adjust function is designed for analog mode running through the VGA port only. Digital inputs do not require this re-calibration.
