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 flat panel
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.

Power management
ENERGY STAR
As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, Gateway 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, 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:
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.
