7.      Notes about Monitor Selection
-------------------------------------------------------------------
  In order for you to get the most out of your graphics card, the 
  monitor that you use should have performance specifications that 
  match those of your graphics card. 
  NOTE: Please adjust your monitor settings in the Display 
  Properties dialog.
  
                  ----  I M P O R T A N T  ----

  Use only settings for resolution and refresh rate that are 
  supported by your monitor. Permanent damage to your monitor 
  can result if you operate it for extended periods with settings 
  outside its specifications. 
  If you change monitors, be sure to compare monitor parameters 
  and, if necessary, make appropriate changes!
