Incorrect video card and monitor settings can not only affect the image quality, but also negatively affect the eyesight and general well-being of the user. Before working on the computer, it is necessary to adjust all the settings of the video system as much as possible.
Instructions
Step 1
Open the main menu "Start" and select "Control Panel", in the window that opens, double-click on the "Display" icon. The "Properties: Display" window will be launched, go to the "Parameters" tab. Here you can adjust the screen resolution, for this drag the "Screen resolution" slider to the desired position, select the value that is most comfortable for work, as a rule, the higher the screen diagonal, the higher the resolution is selected.
Step 2
In the same tab, you can adjust the color palette of the screen (color quality), this parameter sets the number of colors and shades reproduced on the screen, usually, the choice is between the values "Medium" and "Highest". For most users, "Average" is sufficient, "Highest" makes sense when working with high quality images.
Step 3
Click on the "Advanced" button. In the window that opens, go to the "Monitor" tab. The most important setting of the video system is performed here - the screen refresh rate, this parameter sets the flicker rate or the number of redrawings of the image on the monitor screen. The higher this value, the less tired your eyes will be when working. It should be remembered that overestimating the "Screen resolution" and "Color quality" settings will lower the maximum value of the "Refresh rate" setting, and this setting has priority. Set the refresh rate to 85 Hz for a CRT monitor or 70 Hz for an LCD monitor, and based on these values, set the remaining parameters.
Step 4
The video card and monitor drivers must be installed on the computer, otherwise, Windows will automatically set the refresh rate to 60 Hz, this frequency is quite enough for the stable functioning of the computer, but it is not acceptable for a person when working on it for a long time.
