Abstract
A method for monitoring the setting of the phase between the pixel clock rate of a graphics card and the sampling clock rate of a flat screen having an analog interface includes the steps of setting a flag if the phase of the flat screen has been set by the user. The flag is interrogated upon switching on the flat screen and/or upon a change of the video mode at a computer and/or an exchange of the graphics card and/or upon an exchange of the computer. A display is provided or a setting of the phase is initiated if, during the interrogation, it is ascertained that the flag is not set. A device for monitoring the setting of the phase between the pixel clock rate of the graphics card and the sampling clock rate of the flat screen is also provided.
