Changing color dept h and sc reen re solution
Color depth is the number of colors your computer uses to display images on your monitor. Most
images look best displayed with the maximum number of colors available. If the color in your
images seems “false” or “jump y,” espec iall y af ter you have play ed a game or run a video-intensi v e
program, check the color depth setting and return it to the highest color setting, if necessary.
Screen resol uti on is the number of pixels (individual colored dots) your computer uses to display
images on your monitor. The higher the resolution, the more inf or mati on and screen components
(such as icons and menu bars) can be displayed on your monitor.

Energy declar ation
When connected to a computer that supports the VESA Display Power Management Signaling
(DPMS) Protocol, your monitor can conserve significant energy by reducing power consumption
during periods of non-use. When your computer goes into the energy saving mode, your monitor
will then enter the Active Off mode (sleep) . In the ActiveOff mode the Power LED will still show
orange.
Use these conventions and the power can be reduced to the following levels:
VESA St ateLED IndicatorPower Consumption
OnBlue<20 W
StandbyOrange<2 W
OffOff<1 W
To “wake” your monitor when it is in Stand by/Active Off mode, move the mouse or press any
keyb oa rd key.
Y ou can c hange y our monit or’ s po wer management settings using the Windows C ontrol Panel. For
more information, see your computer’s User Gu ide.
Maintaining
To keep your monitor in optimal working order:
•Do not block the ventilation holes.
•Do not expose your monitor to rain or use near water.
•Keep your monitor away from radiators or heat vents.
•Keep your monitor out of direct sunlight.
Caution
Do not use any type of abrasive pad or glass cleaner. You will permanently
scratch the screen.
•T o c l ean your monitor, use a soft cloth slightly moistened with water only. Wipe the cabinet,
screen, and controls.

Y our monitor has pixels that are alwa ys dark or too bright
•This condition is normal and inherent in the TFT technology used in active-matrix LCD

are unacceptably numerous or dense on your display, contact Gateway Customer Care to
identify whether a repair or replacement is justified based on the number of pixels affected.
