General tips
Configuring the Windows desktop
Note: In order to configure the Windows Desktop of your B
N Display System you must be logged in using an account with
IO
administrator privileges.
If you are using a color display in conjunction with your Barco grayscale
display(s) or you have you should configure your desktop before setting
the resolution of the your Barco grayscale display(s).
Note: If you are using Barco Nio Color displays and have selected
the one of the two Static Gray palette modes for them, you should
follow these guidelines also.
Recommended Configuration
The recommended configuration for best grayscale image quality when
using a color display in conjunction with your high-resolution grayscale
display(s) is to set the color display as the primary monitor of the
Windows desktop. Then set the colors setting on the "Settings" tab of
the Windows Display Control Panel to the highest possible color depth
(e.g. 32 bits-per-pixel "true color") supported by the color display's
controller.
The colors setting for your high-resolution grayscale displays should
default to 256 colors (8 bits per pixel). You should set the palette mode
for the your high-resolution grayscale displays to Static Gray palette
with NO system colors. This guarantees that the all of the 256 gray
levels available for GDI graphics will be present. This also eliminates the
danger that colors will change when focus moves among different
applications.
However, if you are using the Color to Gray Compatibility palette mode,
the color setting for your high-resolution grayscale displays should
default to True Color (32 bits per pixel). Even though this palette mode
supports 32 bit True Color, Barco recommends that when using a using a
color display in conjunction with your high-resolution grayscale
display(s) that you still set the color display as the primary monitor of
the Windows desktop.
