Software controls
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.
