The boards of the SPEA series offer high performance in resolutions, refresh rates and colors. Especially the ergonomic SPEA refresh rates up to 100 Hz give absolutely flicker free performance. The SPEA boards are optimally configured to be combined with the SPEA MultiSync monitors.
Of course SPEA boards can also be connected to other VGA or high resolution MultiSync monitors. Please be aware of the fact, that you can only get use of the full power of the graphics board if the horizontal (kHz) and vertical (Hz) refresh rates of your monitor are as high as required by the graphics board.
Example: The technical specifications of a multisync monitor could be as follows: max. resolution 1280 x 1024; max. horizontal frequency 50 kHz; max. vertical frequency (refresh rate) 90 Hz.
If you wish to use one of the video modes listed in the file BIOS.TXT included with this product, then all three of the above mentioned parameters may not exceed the specifications of this monitor.
In our example, the mode 1024 x 768 with a horizontal frequency of 48.5 kHz and a refresh rate of 60 Hz may be selected, whereas the next higher refresh rate of 70 Hz (at the same resolution) is not possible, as the required horizontal frequency is 56.5 kHz in this case, which exceeds the specifications of the monitor.
Warning!
If you permanently use your monitor with frequencies that are too high you may damage the monitor. Therefore before you start to change the refresh rate with programs described in this manual (e.g. SPTUNE, V7SETUP), have a look in your monitor manual about its technical data (horizontal and vertical refresh rate, possible resolutions).
Set your monitor to analog mode. You may need a new cable or a 9- to 15-pin cable adapter to use this mode.
Check your monitor owner's manual for further information.
