You can adjust the screen settings for brightness, contrast, and horizontal and 
vertical image position using the controls on the front of your monitor. For 
more information about these adjustments, see your monitor guide.

Adjusting the color depth and screen area are two of the most basic display 
settings you may need to change. You can also adjust settings such as the screen 
background and screen saver.

Color depth is the number of colors your screen displays. Various image types 
require various color depths for optimum appearance. For example, simple color 
drawings may appear adequately in 256 colors while color photographs need 
millions of colors to be displayed with optimum quality.

Windows lets you choose from several color depth settings. We recommend that 
you use the 32-bit True Color setting 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.
