How to Change the Settings of a 1440X90, 60Hz

The 1440 x 900 resolution is often used on 190-inch LCD monitors.

The 1440 x 900 resolution is the native resolution for many 16:10 widescreen displays. Typically, the optimal refresh rate for these types of displays is 60Hz. If Windows is not running in the native resolution, the image may appear stretched or blurry. Access the Windows Display Properties component to change the settings of your 1440 x 900 display.

Instructions

1. Click “Start.” Type “Monitor Settings” in Search and press “Enter.” This opens a Screen Resolution window.

2. Expand the “Resolution” menu. This provides a selectable list of all resolutions supported on your monitor. If your monitor’s native resolution is 1440 x 900, the word “recommended” will be presented beside it.

3. Click to select “1440 x 900 (recommended),” and click “Keep Changes.”

4. Click the “Advanced settings” link. A properties dialog loads.

5. Click the “Monitor” tab. Expand the “Screen Refresh Rate” menu and select the “60 Hertz” option. Click the “Apply” button to save.
