About the Monitors & Sound Control Panel

You use the Monitors & Sound control panel to change basic settings that affect the way your
computer displays images and processes sound. Because computers’ capabilities vary,
Monitors & Sound automatically adjusts itself to the capabilities of the computer and monitor
you’re using. Therefore, the Monitors & Sound control panel shown in this manual may
appear slightly different from the one on your computer.

If you have more than one monitor attached to your computer, a separate Monitors & Sound
control panel appears on each screen when you open the control panel. You can customize
your settings for each monitor separately.

To change or view settings using the Monitors & Sound control panel, follow these steps:

1

Choose Control Panels from the Apple (

K) menu and open the Monitors & Sound control

panel.

After a moment, the Monitors & Sound control panel appears on your screen.

2

Use the large buttons across the top of the Monitors & Sound control panel to select one of
the options described below. See Mac OS Help for detailed information.
m Monitor—Use this button to view color depth and resolution settings.
m Arrange—Use this button to configure more than one monitor. This button appears on

your screen if you have more than one video port on your computer.
