Changing Windows screen settings
Color depth and screen resolution are two of the most basic monitor settings you may need to
change to suit your needs.
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.
Common color depth settings include:
•
Low (8-bit)
= 256 colors
•
Medium (16-bit)
= 65,500 colors
•
Highest (32-bit)
= 16,700,000 colors
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 the monitor.
