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 Click Start, then click Control Panel. The Control Panel window opens. If your Control
Panel is in Category View, click
2 Click/Double-click the Display icon. The Display Properties dialog box opens. 3 Click the Settings tab.

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.
To change the screen resolution:
1 Click Start, then click Control Panel. The Control Panel window opens. If your Control
Panel is in Category View, click

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, the 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 State LED Indicator Power Consumption
On Blue 45 W
Active Off Orange 3W
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.

15
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 slightly moistened with water only. Wipe the cabinet, screen, and controls.
Caution Do not use any type of abrasive pad or glass cleaner. You will
permanently scratch the screen.
Troubleshooting
If you have problems with the monitor, the information in this troubleshooting section may help you solve them.
Important Make sure that the monitor has warmed up for approximately
30 minutes before making any judgments about the picture quality.

Move the mouse or press any key on the keyboard to bring the monitor out of
Active Off mode.
Restart your computer with the monitor turned on.
Make sure that the video cable is not damaged.
Check the ends of the video cable for any pins that might be bent or pushed in.
Turn off the monitor and unplug the video cable from the back of your computer.
Turn the monitor back on and wait for ten seconds. If the monitor is functioning correctly, a self-diagnostic screen appears. For more information about connecting the video cable, see “Connecting the monitor” on page 2.
Display colors are wrong
Press the AUTO/SELECT button to automatically adjust the display image to the
ideal settings.

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.
