Elsa Victory Erazor LT User Manual

There are some basic ground rules for you to follow when setting up your graphics sys-
tem.  On the one hand, there are the ergonomic guide values although nowadays these
are met by most systems, and on the other hand there are limitations inherent in your sys-
tem, e.g.  your monitor.  The question of whether your applications need to run using high
color depth – perhaps even using TrueColor – is also important.  This is an important con-
dition in many DTP workstations, for instance.  A color depth of 64K is recommended for
games and “normal” Windows applications.

This idea is widely held, but is not always true.  The general rule is that a refresh rate of
73 Hz meets the minimum recommended ergonomic requirements.  The resolution to be
selected is, furthermore, dependent on the capabilities of your monitor.  The table below
is a guide to the resolutions you might select:
