Note
on Screen Resolution:
The
IB Trader Workstation provides a large amount of information on
its trading and other pages. As a result we require that you set
your PC to a resolution of 1024x768 or better in order to run this
application. Click
here to learn how to check and set you display resolution.
The
Benefits of High Resolution
Many
of the computers sold today have the ability to support very high
monitor resolutions. That is to say they can, for example, display
pictures with near photographic quality. Surprisingly, manufacturers
frequently ship computers capable of a high resolution but, set
to operate in a low resolution (inferior quality) mode. You can
change the resolution setting yourself in order to get the best
quality display from your PC. This will provide the following
benefits.
- Higher
quality display of graphics including photographs.
- The
ability to display more material on you desktop.
- High
quality access to the most sophisticated graphics on the web.
-
- Please
take a minute to check and possibly upgrade your resolution setting
by clicking on the link above. It will allow you to get the best
out of the IB system and your PC.
