Screen resolution

The IBM Safer Payments user interface is designed to work with a minimum resolution of 1280×768 pixel, thus WXGA (1280×768) screen resolution is the minimum for correct page display. For power users, for example, fraud analysts, a dual monitor configuration with HDTV (1920x1080) screen resolution is the best solution. With this resolution, users can open multiple browser pages and tabs with the same session. Because of the high interactiveness of the user interface, the performance of the JavaScript engine is key to smooth operation. The Google Chrome browser provides the best user interface performance.
