The LCD can only be used to its maximum resolution and color depth when the video output of your computer (video board) matches the LCD manufacturer’s recommendation for the specific model you are using.

proACTIV board User Guide ACTIVpen Your ACTIVpen controls your computer, your application software and your operating system as you touch, click and draw directly on the proACTIV board during your class, presentation or meeting. Two pens are supplied so in the event of accident or loss you will always have a spare. The ACTIVpens ‘tune’ themselves to the board and are not designed to operate alternately.
proACTIV board User Guide Calibrating the proACTIV board The projected image must be aligned with the computer referenced screen image (orthographic correction) each time the LCD projector is moved or set up. This is to align the pen and computer pointer image. Calibrating the proACTIV board is a simple and quick procedure that can be performed easily at any time.
proACTIV board User Guide Maintenance & Cleaning Do not use abrasive powders, soap, detergents or petroleum based cleaners or solvents on the proACTIV board surface. Scratches cannot be repaired or removed and will make ink and stain removal in that area difficult. Do not use metal brushes, scrapers or abrasive cleaning cloths. The surface of the proACTIV board is made to very high standards of durability. In normal use you can expect satisfactory results every time with proper maintenance.
