ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Changing the refresh rate ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
To change the refresh rate of the OS/2 PM display:
1. Select a new refresh rate using the refresh rate radio buttons.
2. Try the new refresh rate. When you press the Try button, your screen
will be set to the new rate for 5 seconds. It will then return to the
refresh rate in effect when you opened the I-128 object.
3. Set the new refresh rate. The new refresh rate takes effect immediately.
You don't need to shutdown.
4. Close the Number Nine I-128 object.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.1. Refresh rate ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The refresh rate is the frequency with which the screen is redrawn. At a
refresh rate of 60Hz, the screen image is redrawn 60 times per second.
The higher the refresh rate, the steadier the image on the screen. You will
want to select the highest refresh rate your monitor can display correctly.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Finding the current refresh rate ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
When you open the Number Nine I-128 object, one of the four refresh-rate
buttons is selected. The selected button indicates the current refresh rate.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Trying a new refresh rate ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
To try a new refresh rate, select the Try button.
Your monitor will be switched to the new refresh rate. After five seconds, it
will be returned to the refresh rate in effect when you opened the I-128
object.
If your screen looked stable at the new refresh rate, you may set it.
If your screen did not look stable, do not set the new refresh rate. Some
monitors will not function correctly at the higher refresh rates. Such monitors
can be damaged if operated beyond their capacity.
To help you avoid choosing too high a refresh rate by mistake, you cannot set a
new refresh rate before you try it.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Selecting a new refresh rate ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
To select a new refresh rate, you may click with your mouse on one of the four
radio buttons. Or you may select a radio button by using the cursor keys on
your keyboard.
The radio button selected when you first open the Number Nine I-128 object is
the current refresh rate.
While the current refresh rate is selected, the Try button is inactive. When
you select a new refresh rate, the Try button is activated.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. Setting a new refresh rate ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
To set a refresh rate, press the Set button. Your monitor will immediately
switch to the new refresh rate, and the new refresh rate will be saved as the
new default for your current resolution.
To help you avoid saving a refresh rate that is not appropriate for your
monitor, the Set button is activated only after you have tried a new refresh
rate. Do not set a refresh rate if your screen appears black or unsteady when
you try it.
The Number Nine I-128 sets and saves refresh rates separately for each
resolution.
If you change the resolution of the PM desktop, you may initially find the
refresh rate back at the default 60Hz. When you return your desktop to a
previously selected resolution, the refresh rate will return to the value you
last set at that resolution.
