on adjusting the monitors' display in the context sensitive online help.
A. Monitor Tuning
With the buttons in the 'Move' and 'Size' sections you can tune the
position and size of the monitor's display for the indicated resolution
and refresh rate.
NOTE: Use the hardware setting controls on your monitor, if available,
to adjust your display size or position - instead of the software
controls in 'Adjustment - Monitor Tuning.' Check the documentation of
your monitor for information on your monitor's hardware controls.
NOTE: Resizing the display slightly changes the actual refresh rate.
If you operate a fixed-frequency monitor check the documentation of your
monitor for information on refresh rate tolerances.
Sync Polarity: If you do not get a satisfactory display with the default
sync polarity setting for the current resolution, you may try and change
the settings.
Undo: Click this button to undo the last change you made (i.e. when you
clicked 'Apply').
Default: Click this button to set the 'Monitor Tuning' to the
manufacturer's default settings.
NOTES:
Press the ESC key on your keyboard to undo the changes if your monitor
has lost synchronization.
If you change the resolution (in 'Settings') and/or the refresh
rate (in 'Monitor'), you may need to re-adjust the monitor's display.
B. 'Gamma Correction': Adjust the montior's gamma correction for optimal
brightness with the red, green and blue slider bars.
When these sliders are changed the gamma correction table modifies each
pixel's color value. The brightness produced at the face of the display
is proportional to the input voltage raised to the power gamma. This
nonlinearity must be compensated to achieve correct reproduction of the
image's brightness. The effect of display gamma is to darken the
midtones relative to the dark and light regions. The gamma correction
adjustment affects the entire screen display. The possible setting
range is 0.3 - 4.0. The default setting is 1.0.
With 'Link sliders' selected, the three sliders move together as
you drag any individual slider. With the check box unchecked, you can
adjust colors individually by dragging the applicable slider.
Click the '>1<' button - for each color - to set the gamma correction
to the default value of 1.0.
C. Click the 'Apply' or 'OK' button to enable your adjustment settings.

or "D4D".
Set the screen refresh rate to 120 Hz via the 'Settings' dialog.
Enable Sync Control Extension
-----------------------------
Check this option for precise synchronization control of graphics and
streaming video or audio. Applications with real-time rendering requirements
need synchronization of events on the graphics card (such as vertical
retrace) and other parts of the system.
Enable Fullscene Antialiasing (Fire GL3, Fire GL4, Fire GL4s)
-------------------------------------------------------------
Check this option for improved image quality if your application supports
this feature.
- Oversampling Quality: Move the slider to optimize the oversampling
quality.
NOTE: Increasing the oversampling quality may reduce the performance
- Force Fullscene Antialiasing: Check this option to use
