    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.
    To change the color depth and screen resolution in Windows Vista
    ®: 
    1Click  ( Start), Control Panel , then under Appearance and Personalization , click Adjust 
    Screen Resolution . The Display Settings  dialog box opens.
    2To change the color depth, click the  Colors list, then click the color depth you want.
    3To change the screen resolution, drag the  Resolution slider to the size you prefer.
    4Click Apply . If the new settings do not look right, click  No. If the new settings make the screen 
    illegible and you cannot click  No, the settings return to their previous values after several 
    seconds.
    5Click  OK, then click  Ye s to save your changes.
    To change the color depth and screen resolution in Windows XP:  
    1Click  Start , then click  Control Panel . The Control Panel  opens. If your Control Panel is in 
    Category View, click  Appearance and Themes .
    2Click Display . The Display Properties  dialog box opens.
    3Click the Settings tab.
    4To change the color depth, click the arrow button to open the  Color quality list, then click 
    the color depth you want.

    then click  OK.

    Power management
    ENERGY STAR
    As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, eMachines has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR 
    guidelines for energy efficiency.
    This monitor complies with the EPA’s International ENERGY STAR Program, which is a program 
    designed to encourage manufacturers of computer equipment to build circuitry into their products 
    to reduce energy consumption during time of non-use.
    Energy declaration
    When connected to a computer that supports the VESA Display Power Management Signaling 
    (DPMS) protocol, the monitor can conserve significant energy by reducing power consumption 
    during periods of non-use. When your computer goes into the energy-saving mode, the monitor 
    enters the Active Off mode (sleep). In the Active Off mode the power LED turns amber.
    Use these conventions and the power can be reduced to the following levels:
    To “wake” the monitor when it is in Active Off mode, move the mouse or press any keyboard key.
    Access the power management options in the Control Panel to change the period of time after 
    which the monitor enters these low power states.

    Maintaining
    To keep the monitor in optimal working order:
    Do not block the ventilation holes.
    Do not expose the monitor to rain or use near water.
    Keep the monitor away from radiators or heat vents.
    Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight.
    To clean the monitor, use a soft cloth slightly moistened with water only. Wipe the cabinet, 
    screen, and controls.
    Troubleshooting
    If you have problems with the monitor, the information in this troubleshooting section may help 
    you solve them.
    No power
    Make sure that the power cord is connected correctly to both the back of the monitor and 
    an AC power outlet. For more information about connecting the power cord, see “Setting 
    up the monitor” on page 2 .
    No picture
    Make sure that the power cord is connected correctly to both the back of the monitor and 
    an AC power outlet. For more information about connecting the power cord, see  “Setting 
    up the monitor” on page 2 .
    Make sure that the video cable is connected securely to the back of the monitor and the 
    computer. For more information about connecting the video cable, see  “Setting up the 
    monitor” on page 2 .
    Make sure that the monitor is turned on.
    If you have the monitor connected to your notebook’s video port, you have two options:
    If your notebook supports dual displays, you can use both your notebook’s display and 
    this monitor in extended desktop multi-monitor mode. See Windows Help to learn how 
    to enable multiple monitors.
    You can also use this monitor as your primary monitor and not use the notebook’s 
    screen. Notebook computers typically have an FN key combination that lets you toggle 
    between your notebook’s display, an externally attached display, and both at the same 
    time. See your notebook’s user guide for more information. Caution
    Do not use any type of abrasive pad or glass cleaner. You will permanently 
    scratch the screen.
    ImportantMake sure that the monitor has warmed up for about 30 minutes before making any 
    judgments about the picture quality. The screen’s backlight can take several minutes to reach 
    maximum brightness.

    If the image looks stretched or fuzzy, you must adjust the operating system’s display settings 
    to match the monitor’s optimal (native) setting. For information on adjusting settings, see 
    “Changing Windows screen settings” on page 8 . To find your monitor’s native setting, see 
    “Specifications” on page 13 .
    If you are trying to select your monitor’s native resolution but it is not available in the 
    Windows display control panel:
    Make sure that your video card can display at your monitor’s native resolution.
    This may be caused by older video drivers on your computer. See the eMachines support 
    Web site (www.emachines.com
    ) for updated video drivers for your computer. You can 
    also go directly to your video card’s support Web site for the most up-to-date video 
    drivers.
    If your games do not have support for widescreen displays:
    Newer games are adding support for widescreen displays as the widescreen format 
    becomes more popular. Check the game’s Web site for updates. You can also consult 
    the following Web site for specific settings and options to configure older games to 
    support widescreen:  www.widescreengamingforum.com
    . 
    Some adjustments may require you to make changes to the Windows System Registry.

    The monitor has pixels that are always dark or too bright
    This condition is normal and inherent in the TFT technology used in active-matrix LCD 
    screens. eMachines’ inspection standards keep these to a minimum. If you feel these pixels 
    are unacceptably numerous or dense on your display, contact eMachines Customer Care to 
    identify whether a repair or replacement is justified based on the number of pixels affected.
    Connecting a game console
    To determine the type of cable you need, see your gaming console’s documentation.
