Adjusting Windows display settings
Color depth and screen resolution are two of the most basic monitor settings
you may need to change to suit your needs. In Windows XP, you may also want
to change the screen fonts setting.
Color depth is the number of colors your video card 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.
Screen resolution is the number of pixels (individual colored dots) your video
card uses to display images on your monitor, and you can change it to your
preference. The higher the resolution, the more information and screen
components (such as icons and menu bars) can be displayed on the monitor.
Screen fonts are the fonts used for screen components such as icon labels, title
bars, and dialog boxes. In Windows XP, you can change the display fonts to
ClearType for smoother screen fonts. (Windows Vista already has ClearType
selected by default.)
