Adjusting monitor settings

Windows contro ls

Color depth, screen resolution, and screen fonts are three of the most basic monitor settings
you may need to change.

Adjusting the colo r depth

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

Windows lets you choose from several color depth settings for the monitor . W e 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 pro gram, check the color depth setting and re turn it to 32-bit
Tru e Co l o r, i f n e c e s s a r y.

Po wer management

ENERGY ST AR

As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, eMachines 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 c onserve signi ficant en ergy by reduc ing 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 (sleep). In the Active Off mode
the Power LED will still show orange.

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

VESA State LED Indicator Power

Consumption

On Blue 15-inch: 35 W

17-inch: 4 0 W

Active Off Orange ≤ 2W

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.
