Adjusting the screen and desktop
settings
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.
Adjusting the color depth
Color depth is the number of colors your LCD displays. Various image types
require various color depths for optimum appearance on your LCD. 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 for your LCD. We
recommend 16-bit High Color setting be used 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 16-bit High Color, if necessary.
