• Color depth (also called color palette or number of colors)
Each video card has several controls that allow you to adjust the
display settings, however, the software and driver for each video card is
unique. In most cases, you can adjust these settings using a program
or utility provided by the manufacturer of the video card. Most video
cards use the Windows Display Properties control panel to configure
the display. To open the Windows Display Properties, click the right
mouse button in a blank area of the Windows desktop and then select
Properties. The Settings tab usually lets you change the Color Palette
and the Desktop Area (X by Y pixel resolution).
Some video cards integrate additional features into the Windows Dis-
play Properties control panel giving you an extra setup options that are
flexible and easy to use. For example, the control panel may include an
Advanced Properties button, an Adjustment tab, or a Refresh tab for
changing other settings. Other video cards have a separate utility for
setting display properties.
Whenever you change the resolution, color, or refresh rate, the image
size, position, or shape may change. This behavior is normal. You can
readjust the image using the monitor on-screen controls. For more
information on the monitor on-screen controls, refer to Panel controls
and OSD functions. For more information on configuring the display
settings, please refer to the manual that accompanied your video card.
Testing the console
To test that the console is working properly, perform the following steps:
1. Power up the monitor/keyboard drawer, and then turn on your
computer.
2. Make sure the video image is centered within the screen area. Use
the OSD controls to adjust the image (see Panel controls and OSD
functions) or press the Auto button on the right hand side of the
monitor.
Note: If the unit does not power up when the panel is pulled up, try
pushing the soft power on/off button on the left side of the monitor
panel to power up the unit.
