Question

How can I change the display resolution when I use an external monitor?

Answer

To use the ZVA/B with an external monitor and a resolution higher than 800 x 600 pixels, please proceed as follows:

- Connect the external monitor to the ZVA/B

- Connect a mouse to the ZVA/B

- Switch on the device

- Wait until the device has booted completely

- Minimize the analyzer window

- Make a right click with the mouse in the Windows area

- Select 'Properties' => 'Settings' => 'Advanced' => 'Intel Graphics Technology' => 'Graphics Properties ..'

- Select 'Monitor' and 'Activate Monitor' and 'Apply'

- Confirm the Change Desktop popup window

- Now only the external monitor should be active

- Close all the properties windows by selecting OK

- Click once more with the right mouse button in the Windows area. Under 'Display Mode' => 'High color' you can now select the resolution you want.

Note: If you shut down the ZVA/B with this setting, disconnect the external monitor and switch the ZVA/B on again, the ZVA/B will automatically boot with the internal monitor setting. But the ZVA/B will remember the setting used with the external monitor. The next time the external monitor is connected, the ZVA/B will boot with the external monitor setting and use the higher resolution selected by you.
