Color depth, screen resolution, and screen fonts are three of the most basic
monitor settings you may need to change.

Adjusting the color depth

Color depth is the number of colors your video card uses. Most images look best
displayed with the maximum number of colors available.

Windows lets you choose from several color depth settings for the monitor. We
recommend that you use the 32-bit True Color setting or the highest setting
available 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.
