Changing￿the￿Video￿Configuration

Your￿computer￿includes￿a￿TFT￿or￿active-matrix￿screen.￿The￿capabilities￿of￿the￿screen￿plus￿the￿video￿drivers￿installed￿on￿the￿ computer￿determine￿the￿quality￿of￿the￿image￿your￿LCD￿can￿display.

The￿following￿sections￿describe￿the￿display￿capabilities￿of￿your￿ computer.

Resolution￿and￿Color￿Depth

The￿resolution￿of￿the￿LCD￿is￿the￿sharpness￿of￿the￿image￿it￿can￿display.￿ Resolution￿is￿measured￿by￿the￿number￿of￿pixels￿(individual￿dots)￿ displayed￿on￿the￿entire￿screen.￿In￿general,￿the￿more￿pixels￿the￿LCD￿can￿ display,￿the￿better￿the￿image.￿

Your￿LCD￿screen￿is￿either￿SVGA￿or￿XGA:

￿ The￿maximum￿display￿for￿the￿SVGA￿LCD￿screen￿is￿ 800x600,￿about￿480,000￿pixels.￿

￿ The￿maximum￿display￿for￿the￿XGA￿LCD￿screen￿is￿1024x768,￿ about￿800,000￿pixels.￿

The￿number￿of￿colors￿the￿LCD￿can￿display￿is￿measured￿by￿how￿many￿ bits￿the￿LCD￿uses￿to￿represent￿each￿pixel:

￿ 8-bit￿color￿can￿support￿256￿different￿colors.￿￿ 16-bit￿color￿can￿support￿64￿K￿(65,536)￿colors.￿

￿ 24-bit￿color￿can￿support￿16￿M￿(16.8￿million)￿colors.￿￿ 32-bit￿color￿can￿support￿16￿M￿(16.8￿million)￿colors.￿

24-bit￿color￿uses￿the￿RGB￿color￿model.

32-bit￿color￿uses￿the￿CMYK￿color￿model￿which￿gives￿better￿printed￿color￿matching.￿
