Changing Windows screen settings
Color depth and screen resolution are two of the most basic monitor settings you may need to 
change to suit your needs.
Color depth is the number of colors your computer uses to display images on your monitor. Most 
images look best displayed with the maximum number of colors available. 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 the highest color setting, if necessary. 
Common color depth settings include:
Low (8-bit)  = 256 colors
Medium (16-bit)  = 65,500 colors
Highest (32-bit) = 16,700,000 colors
Screen resolution  is the number of pixels (individual colored dots) your computer uses to display 
images on your monitor. The higher the resolution, the more information and screen components 
(such as icons and menu bars) can be displayed on the monitor.

Power management
ENERGY STAR
As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, eMachines has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR 
guidelines for energy efficiency.
This monitor complies with the EPA’s International ENERGY STAR Program, which is a program 
designed to encourage manufacturers of computer equipment to build circuitry into their products 
to reduce energy consumption during time of non-use.
Energy declaration
When connected to a computer that supports the VESA Display Power Management Signaling 
(DPMS) protocol, the monitor can conserve significant energy by reducing power consumption 
during periods of non-use. When your computer goes into the energy-saving mode, the monitor 
enters the Active Off mode (sleep). In the Active Off mode the power LED turns amber.
Use these conventions and the power can be reduced to the following levels:
To “wake” the monitor when it is in Active Off mode, move the mouse or press any keyboard key.
Access the power management options in the Control Panel to change the period of time after 
which the monitor enters these low power states.

Maintaining
To keep the monitor in optimal working order:
Do not block the ventilation holes.
Do not expose the monitor to rain or use near water.
Keep the monitor away from radiators or heat vents.
Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight.
To clean the monitor, use a soft cloth slightly moistened with water only. Wipe the cabinet, 
screen, and controls.
Troubleshooting
If you have problems with the monitor, the information in this troubleshooting section may help 
you solve them.
No power
Make sure that the power cord is connected correctly to both the back of the monitor and 
an AC power outlet. For more information about connecting the power cord, see “Setting 
up the monitor” on page 2 .
No picture
Make sure that the power cord is connected correctly to both the back of the monitor and 
an AC power outlet. For more information about connecting the power cord, see  “Setting 
up the monitor” on page 2 .
Make sure that the video cable is connected securely to the back of the monitor and the 
computer. For more information about connecting the video cable, see  “Setting up the 
monitor” on page 2 .
Make sure that the monitor is turned on.
If you have the monitor connected to your notebook’s video port, you have two options:
If your notebook supports dual displays, you can use both your notebook’s display and 
this monitor in extended desktop multi-monitor mode. See Windows Help to learn how 
to enable multiple monitors.
You can also use this monitor as your primary monitor and not use the notebook’s 
screen. Notebook computers typically have an FN key combination that lets you toggle 
between your notebook’s display, an externally attached display, and both at the same 
time. See your notebook’s user guide for more information. Caution
Do not use any type of abrasive pad or glass cleaner. You will permanently 
scratch the screen.
ImportantMake sure that the monitor has warmed up for about 30 minutes before making any 
judgments about the picture quality. The screen’s backlight can take several minutes to reach 
maximum brightness.

If the image looks stretched or fuzzy, you must adjust the operating system’s display settings 
to match the monitor’s optimal (native) setting. For information on adjusting settings, see 
“Changing Windows screen settings” on page 8 . To find your monitor’s native setting, see 
“Specifications” on page 13 .
If you are trying to select your monitor’s native resolution but it is not available in the 
Windows display control panel:
Make sure that your video card can display at your monitor’s native resolution.
This may be caused by older video drivers on your computer. See the eMachines support 
Web site (www.emachines.com
) for updated video drivers for your computer. You can 
also go directly to your video card’s support Web site for the most up-to-date video 
drivers.
If your games do not have support for widescreen displays:
Newer games are adding support for widescreen displays as the widescreen format 
becomes more popular. Check the game’s Web site for updates. You can also consult 
the following Web site for specific settings and options to configure older games to 
support widescreen:  www.widescreengamingforum.com
. 
Some adjustments may require you to make changes to the Windows System Registry.

The monitor has pixels that are always dark or too bright
This condition is normal and inherent in the TFT technology used in active-matrix LCD 
screens. eMachines’ inspection standards keep these to a minimum. If you feel these pixels 
are unacceptably numerous or dense on your display, contact eMachines Customer Care to 
identify whether a repair or replacement is justified based on the number of pixels affected.
Connecting a game console
To determine the type of cable you need, see your gaming console’s documentation.
