What Makes Sense?

There are some basic ground rules for you to follow when setting up your graphics sys-

tem. On the one hand, there are the ergonomic guide values although nowadays these

are met by most systems, and on the other hand there are limitations inherent in your sys-

tem, e.g. your monitor. The question of whether your applications need to run using high

color depth – perhaps even using TrueColor – is also important. This is an important con-

dition in many DTP workstations, for instance. A color depth of 64K is recommended for

games and “normal” Windows applications.

“More pixels means more fun”

This idea is widely held, but is not always true. The general rule is that a refresh rate of

73 Hz meets the minimum recommended ergonomic requirements. The resolution to be

selected is, furthermore, dependent on the capabilities of your monitor. The table below

is a guide to the resolutions you might select:

Refresh rate (Hz) / Z-Buffer, Double Buffering

Color depth: 256 Colors HighColor TrueColor

1600 x 1200 85/– 85/– –/–

1280 x 1024 100/– 100/– 75/–

HighColor = 65.536 colors, TrueColor = 16,7 million colors
