              Adjusting the color depth and screen resolution are two of the most basic monitor settings you may need to change.

            Adjusting the color depth

              Color depth is the number of colors your video card uses. Most images look best displayed with the maximum number of colors available.

              Windows lets you choose from several color depth settings for the monitor. We recommend that you use the 32-bit True Color setting or the highest setting available at all times.

              If the color in your images seems "false" or "jumpy," especially after you have played a game or run a video-intensive program, check the color depth setting and return it to 32-bit True Color, if necessary.

            To change the color depth:

              1. In Windows XP, click Start, then click Control Panel. The Control Panel window opens. If your Control Panel is in Category View, click Appearance and Themes.
                - OR -

                Power management

                ENERGY STAR

                  As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, Gateway has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency.

                  This monitor complies with the EPA's International ENERGY STAR Program, which is a program designed to encourage manufacturers of computer equipment to build circuitry into their products to reduce energy consumption during time of non-use.

                Energy declaration

                  When connected to a computer that supports the VESA Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS) Protocol, the monitor can conserve significant energy by reducing power consumption during periods of non-use. When your computer goes into the energy saving mode, the monitor will then enter the Active Off mode (different from total shut down). In the Active Off mode the Power LED will still show amber.

                  Use these conventions and the power can be reduced to the following levels:

                VESA State LED Indicator Power Consumption

                On

                Green

                <80 W

                Active Off

                Amber

                <8 W

                  To "wake" the monitor when it is in Active Off mode, move the mouse or press any keyboard key.

                  Access the power management options in the Control Panel to change the period of time after which the monitor enters these low power states.

                Maintenance

                  To keep the monitor in optimal working order:

                Do not block the ventilation holes.
                Do not expose the monitor to rain or use near water.
                Keep the monitor away from radiators or heat vents.
                Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight.

                  To clean the monitor, use a soft cloth slightly moistened with water only. Wipe the cabinet, screen, and controls.

                  Caution

                  Do not use any type of abrasive pad or glass cleaner. You will permanently scratch the screen.
