Adjusting Resolution, Color Depth and Refresh Rate
There are three components that make up the screen mode:
Resolution
: 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.
Some monitors advertise the supported modes through the
video connector. If this is the case, the video component
identifies the supported modes from the monitor. If the monitor
does not advertise the supported modes, the video software
chooses a set of common screen modes for the monitor.
