the limits for the resolution and refresh rate.

Use Monitor Adjustments to resize and reposition the 

computer desktop on your monitor’s display screen. 

You can also adjust the horizontal and vertical sync 

or enable composite sync.

set the hue, saturation, and temperature for each 

attached and enabled display.
