2 Using the Display Software

This chapter explains how to use the new display software you have installed. Your software includes a new feature called the Control Strip, which you can use to change monitor settings quickly and easily. You can use the Control Strip to change screen resolutions, change the number of colors your monitor displays, and change the volume of your computer’s beep sound. Your monitor also comes with control panels that you can use to save energy and fine-tune your monitor’s use of color.

About the Control Strip

When you start up your Macintosh after installing your new display software, you will notice the Control Strip at the lower-left edge of your screen. The Control Strip is a new way of changing certain settings from your desktop without opening control panels.

Note: Some versions of system software will show different modules in the Control Strip. If your Control Strip doesn’t match what’s shown here, consult the on-screen help that came with your computer or system software upgrade kit.
