www.gateway.com 9 Chapter1:UsingYourFlatPanelDisplay Software controls Adjusting the color depth and screen resolution are two of the most basic display settings you may need to change. Adjusting the color depth Color depth is the number of colors your flat panel display uses. Different image types require various color depths for optimum appearance on your display. 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 flat panel display. We recommend that the 32-bit True 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 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.

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, this monitor can conserve significant energy by reducing power consumption during periods of non-use. When the 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. By following these conventions the power can be reduced to the following levels:
VESA State LED Indicator Power Consumption On Active Off Green Amber
<45 W
<5 W To wake the monitor when it is in Active Off mode, move your mouse or press any keyboard key. You can change the period of time after which the monitor enters these low power states by accessing the power management options in the Control Panel. www.gateway.com 15 Chapter1:UsingYourFlatPanelDisplay Maintenance To keep your flat panel display in optimal working order:
