Device Stage
Do you have a lot of digital devices like phones, music players, or digital cameras? Device Stage helps
you manage all of your devices more ef ciently by showing you the status of each and displaying the
common things you can do with them in a single familiar window. When you connect portable devices
such as digital cameras and cell phones to your PC, you’ll see a photo realistic image right on the taskbar.
From there, you can easily launch the Device
Stage for that device or quickly access tasks
for the device with a right-click of your
mouse. For example, you can use Device
Stage to synchronize important data and
media between Windows 7 and cell phones
or portable media players. You can add or
create ringtones for your mobile phone or
even see how much remaining storage is
available on your digital camera.
Each Device Stage window has the same
structure—according to device—but the
device manufacturer may create custom-
ized content for those windows. Any time
your devices are updated, you’ll automati-
cally see those updates in Device Stage.
Device Stage supports PCs too. If a desktop or laptop PC maker chooses to create content for device
stage, you’ll see your PC in the Device Stage screen. Just double-click a PC icon in the Devices and Print-
ers folder, and you can use Device Stage to help manage it.
Monitor Support
LCD monitors are becoming more popular because of their slim size, crisp text, and superior graphics
capabilities. However, you might not be getting all the bene ts from your LCD monitor that you could.
Windows 7 improves support for monitors—especially LCD displays—to help you get the most out of
them. You can adjust the size of text, optimize its clarity, and color-calibrate your monitor. And if you have
a laptop, you can more easily take advantage of external displays.
