Software controls
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 necessa r y.
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
- OR -
Appearance and Themes.
In Windows 2000, click

Adjusting the screen resolution
You can change the screen resolution to a size you prefer. For example, you can increase
the resolution to fit more icons on your desktop, or you can decrease the resolution to
make reading and identifying objects on the monitor easier. The higher the resolution,
the smaller individual components of the screen (such as icons and menu bars) appear.

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 your 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 orange.
Use these conventions and the power can be reduced to the following levels:
VESA StateLED IndicatorPower Consumption
OnGreenFPD 1530 – <35 W
FPD 1730 – <45 W
FPD 1830 – <55 W
FPD 1930 – <45 W
Active OffOrangeAll models – 2 W
To “wake” the monitor when it is in Active Off mode, move your 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.

Maintenance
To keep the monitor in optimal working order:
■Do not block the ventilation holes.
■Do not expose the monitor to rain or use near water.
■Keep the monitor away from radiators or heat vents.
■Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight.
To clean the monitor, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with water only. Wipe the cabinet,

The monitor has pixels that are always dark or too
bright
This condition is normal and inherent in the TFT technology used in active-matrix LCD
screens. Gateway’s inspection standards keep these to a minimum. If you feel these pixels
are unacceptably numerous or dense on your display, contact Gateway Technical Support
to identify whether a repair or replacement is justified based on the number of pixels
affected.
