Note: The default refresh rate of this adapter is 60 Hz; a 77 Hz refresh rate can be selected through system software. If video problems are encountered, determine if the display has a 60 - 77 Hz refresh rate switch. If so, you may be able to solve the problem by selecting a different refresh rate.

Resolution is 1280 x 1024 x 16M x 60Hz for the 24 bit version.

Note: This GXT4xi uses two two-position cables, either both with black connectors, 51G9224, or both with brown connectors, 71F0253. If either of the connectors in the cable being replaced is brown, the replacement cable with the brown connectors must be used, if neither of the connectors in the cable being replaced is brown, the replacement cable with the black connectors must be used.
