Changing Windows screen settings

Adjusting the color depth and screen area are two of the most basic display settings you may need to change. You can also adjust settings such as the screen background and screen saver.

Changing color depth and screen resolution

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 “jumpy,” especially after you have played a game or run a video-intensive program, check the color depth setting and return it to the highest color setting, if necessary.

Screen resolution is the number of pixels (individual colored dots) your computer uses to display images on your monitor. The higher the resolution, the more information and screen components (such as icons and menu bars) can be displayed on your monitor.

Help

For more information about adjusting the screen, click Start, then click Help and

Support. Type adjusting monitor settings in the Search Help box, then press ENTER.

To change the color depth or screen resolution in Windows Vista:

1Click (Start), Control Panel, then under Appearance and Personalization, click Adjust Screen Resolution. The Display Settings dialog box opens.

•Low (8-bit) = 256 colors

•Medium (16-bit) = 65,500 colors

•Highest (24-bit) = 16,700,000 colors

3To change the screen resolution, drag the Resolution slider to the size you prefer.

4Click Apply. If the new settings do not look right, click No. If the new settings make the screen illegible and you cannot click No, the settings return to their previous values after several seconds.

5Click OK, then click Yes to save your changes.

Using Your Gateway Flat-Panel Monitor

Power management

Energy declaration

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 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	<20 W
Standby	Orange	<2 W
Off	Off	<1 W

To “wake” your monitor when it is in Standby/Active Off mode, move the mouse or press any keyboard key.

You can change your monitor’s power management settings using the Windows Control Panel. For more information, see your computer’s User Guide.

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.

•To clean your monitor, use a soft cloth slightly moistened with water only. Wipe the cabinet, screen, and controls.

Using Your Gateway Flat-Panel Monitor

Color is not uniform

•Press the Menu button, then press the Auto button to automatically adjust the display image to the ideal settings.

•Make sure that your monitor warms up for at least 30 minutes before making a final judgment about color uniformity or brightness.

Image is not sized or centered correctly

•Use the position controls to adjust the image. For instructions on how to adjust the display image position, see “Adjusting monitor settings” on page 6.

•If the image looks stretched or fuzzy, you must adjust the operating system’s display settings to match the monitor’s optimal (native) 1440 × 900 setting. For information on adjusting settings, see “Changing Windows screen settings” on page 9.

•If you are trying to select 1440 × 900 but it is not available in the Windows display control panel:

•Make sure that your video card can display at 1440 × 900 resolution.

•This may be caused by older video drivers on your computer. See the Gateway support Web site (www.gateway.com) for updated video drivers for your computer. You can also go directly to your video card’s support Web site for the most up-to-date video drivers. The Web sites for the major video card manufacturers are:

ATI®: www.ati.com Intel®: www.intel.com Nvidia®: www.nvidia.com

•If your games do not have support for widescreen displays:

•Newer games are adding support for widescreen displays as the widescreen format becomes more popular. Check the game’s Web site for updates. You can also consult the following Web site for specific settings and options to configure older games to support widescreen: www.widescreengamingforum.com.

•Some adjustments may require you to make changes to the Windows System Registry. We recommend making a complete system backup before changing the System Registry.

Your 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 Customer Care to identify whether a repair or replacement is justified based on the number of pixels affected.

Connecting a game console

•If you want to connect your game console to this monitor, use optional video cables (available at www.gateway.com if ordering from the United States). To determine the type of cable you need, see your gaming console’s documentation.
