Adjusting Resolution, Color Depth and Refresh Rate
There are three components that make up the screen mode:
Resolution: In common usage, this refers to the number of pixels displayed on screen
horizontally and vertically.
Color Depth: This defines the number of different colors that can be shown on the
screen at the same time.
Refresh rate: Measures the speed that the entire screen is rescanned. Higher
frequencies reduce flicker.
