Changing color depth and screen resolution

Color depth and screen resolution are two of the most basic screen settings you may need to
change to suit your needs.
Color depth is the number of colors your notebook uses to display images on your screen. 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.
Screen resolution is the number of pixels (individual colored dots) your notebook uses to display
images on your screen. The higher the resolution, the more information and screen components
(such as icons and menu bars) can be displayed on the screen.
