Use this control to set your color quality for the selected display. Increasing color depth lets you view more photo-realistic images and is recommended for most desktop publishing and graphics illustration applications.
Note: If you need to set your color depth to 256 colors to run a game or other software program that requires it, right-click the program icon or name on your desktop or Start menu, then click Properties. Click the Compatibility tab and then select the Run in 256 colors check box. Your display will revert to your default color setting when you close the program.
