Independent Mode allows two displays to work independently and separately, which is a
very common multi-display conguration in Windows 2000 and XP. Each Display needs
to be set up separately.
Stretched Mode is where two displays, connected to the same card and running at
the same resolution, are combined into one wide screen desktop. This conguration is
usually used in Windows NT4.0.
Note: Four displays that are connected to two cards cannot be combined into one wide
screen desktop.

Grayscale Modes
About color modes
The following modes are available:
8 bit Grayscale (256 shades of gray)
• Fixed linear gray palette (default)
• Fixed non-linear gray palette
• Programmable gray palette (not recommended)
Color
• 32 bit color mode
• 16 bit color (not recommended)
• 8 bit color (not recommended)
Note:
• The unrecommended modes do not support 8 bit grayscale (256 shades of gray).
• See the table below for the names of color modes in different operating systems.
Windows 2000 Windows XP Windows NT
32 bit Color True Color Highest (32 bit) True Color
16 bit Color
High Color Medium (16 bit) High Color
8 bit Color 256 Colors Low (8 bit) 256 Colors
Use 32 bit color for color displays.
8 bit grayscale and 32 bit color are available for monochrome displays. We recommend
xed linear gray palette or xed non-linear gray palette if you prioritize drawing speed.
To avoid color palette-related problems in a multi-display setup that includes a color
display, use 32 bit color. Please note, however, the drawing speed in 32 bit color mode
may be slower than in gray palette modes. When used in combination with certain
applications (viewers), the drawing speed may become much slower.
The 32 bit color mode is recommended for multi gradation display with the use of certain
applications (viewers) or when using OpenGL.
