[Display]

The [Display] section contains entries for specifying display settings for graphics devices.

If the specified settings are not valid for the graphics device, Setup finds the closest match to the selected settings to configure the device.

Note

  • If the monitor plugged into the computer is a Plug and Play device and is capable of displaying a screen resolution of 800x600x16m, the display resolution must be at least 800x600x16m. Setup uses the 640 by 480-pixel screen size only if the monitor is unable to display an 800 by 600-pixel screen.
