Changing the display resolution

To change the display resolution of your HP Compaq LA2405wg monitor, you need to adjust the screen resolution to the native resolution of 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz. Here is a step-by-step guide:

• Open the Display Settings: Click on the Start button, then go to Control Panel, Display, and finally, open the Change Display Settings option.
• Adjust the Resolution: Under the Resolution setting, move the slider to 1920 x 1200.

If you're using a Mac, you can try changing the radio button from "Best for..." to "Scaled" in System Preferences > Display. However, keep in mind that the available resolutions may vary depending on your specific Mac model.

Additionally, if you're connecting your HP monitor to a Mac and the highest available resolution is lower than expected, you might need to check your cables and adapters. Ensure that you're using high-quality cables and adapters that support the native resolution of your monitor.

If you're still experiencing issues with display quality, such as blurry images or incorrect colours, there are a few other things to consider. Firstly, verify that your display cables are functioning properly. You can do this by plugging your LCD monitor directly into your PC. If the image is crisp when connected directly but blurry when using a VGA extension cable or display adapter, the issue likely lies with the cable or adapter. Replacing or upgrading these components may solve the problem.

Finally, if the issue persists, you can try resetting your monitor to its factory settings. To do this, press the menu button on your monitor to access the On-Screen Display (OSD) menu. From there, navigate to the Factory Reset option and follow the prompts to reset your monitor settings.

Verifying display cables

To verify the display cables on your HP Compaq LA2405wg monitor, you can try plugging the LCD monitor directly into your PC. If the image is clear when connected directly, but blurry when connected via a VGA extension cable or display adapter, the cable or adapter is likely faulty. Try changing the cable or adapter to solve the issue.

The HP Compaq LA2405wg monitor supports either analog or digital input. For analog operation, use the VGA signal cable provided, connecting one end to the VGA connector on the rear of the monitor and the other end to the VGA connector on the PC. For DVI digital operation, use the provided DVI-D signal cable, connecting one end to the DVI connector on the rear of the monitor and the other to the DVI connector on the PC.

For DisplayPort digital operation, you will need to use a DisplayPort signal cable (not provided). Connect one end to the DisplayPort connector on the rear of the monitor and the other to the DisplayPort connector on the computer. Before connecting the cables, route them through the opening on the monitor's pedestal.

The monitor will automatically determine which inputs have valid video signals. You can select the input by pressing the button on the front panel or by using the On-Screen Display (OSD) feature.
