Chapter 1: Using Your Flat Panel Display
Software controls
Adjusting the color depth and screen resolution are two of the most basic
display settings you may need to change.
Adjusting the color depth
Color depth is the number of colors your flat panel display uses. Different image
types require various color depths for optimum appearance on your display.
For example, simple color drawings may appear adequately in 256 colors while
color photographs need millions of colors to be displayed with optimum
quality.
Windows lets you choose from several color depth settings for your flat panel
display. We recommend that the 32-bit True Color setting be used at all times.
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 32-bit True Color, if necessary.
To change the color depth:
In Windows XP, click Start, then click Control Panel. The Control Panel
window opens. If your Control Panel is in Category view, click Appearance
and Themes.
- OR In Windows 2000, click Start, Settings, then click Control Panel. The
Control Panel window opens.

Click/Double-click the Display icon. The Display Properties dialog box
opens.

Chapter 1: Using Your Flat Panel Display
Adjusting the screen resolution
You can change the screen resolution to a size you prefer. For example, you
can increase the resolution to fit more icons on your desktop, or you can
decrease the resolution to make reading and identifying objects on the display
easier. The higher the resolution, the smaller individual components of the
screen (such as icons and menu bars) appear.
Important
The best screen resolution setting for your 17-inch flat
panel display is 1280 × 1024.
To change the screen resolution:
In Windows XP, click Start, then click Control Panel. The Control Panel
window opens. If your Control Panel is in Category view, click Appearance
and Themes.
- OR In Windows 2000, click Start, Settings, then click Control Panel. The

Power management
ENERGY STAR
As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, Gateway 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, this monitor can conserve
significant energy by reducing power consumption during periods of non-use.
When the computer goes into the energy saving mode, the monitor will then
enter the Active Off mode (different from total shut down). In the Active Off
mode the Power LED will still show amber.
By following these conventions the power can be reduced to the following
levels:
VESA State
LED Indicator
Power Consumption
On
Green
<45 W
Active Off
Amber
<5 W
To “wake” the monitor when it is in Active Off mode, move your mouse or
press any keyboard key.
You can change the period of time after which the monitor enters these low
power states by accessing the power management options in the Control
Panel.

www.gateway.com
Appendix A: Safety, Regulatory, and Legal Information
■
Some products are equipped with a three-wire power cord to make sure that the product is
properly grounded when in use. The plug on this cord will only fit into a grounding-type
outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into an outlet, contact an
electrician to install the appropriate outlet.
■
If you use an extension cord with this system, make sure that the total ampere rating on the
products plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating.
■
If your system is fitted with a TV Tuner, cable, or satellite receiver card, make sure that the
antenna or cable system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage
surges and buildup of static charges.
Care during use
■
Do not walk on the power cord or allow anything to rest on it.
■
Do not spill anything on the system. The best way to avoid spills is to avoid eating and
drinking near your system.
■
