Once the driver has been installed, some utility program will probably also be installed that you notify the resolution (640*480 to 1280*1024), the number of colors (64 to millions of colors), and the refresh the monitor (the frequency at which the monitor operates; usually 60, 72 or 75 HZ) Run the utility program and then select the resolution, numbers of colors and refresh rate you desire for your system. 220
HINT: unless you have a "multi-sync" monitor, select 60 Hz as your standard refresh rate; check the documentation on your monitor to determine your monitor type. SVGA Monitors will operate at 60, 72, 75 and 83 Hz refresh rates; older models may only do 60 or 72 HZ. Normally, this is all you need to do to improve the video performance on your monitor. You should also know the number of colors displayed by your monitor is not function of the monitor but the video card itself. The amount of installed video RAM along with the software drivers will determine how many colors can be displayed. Old VGA monitors can display 32 million color but can't display them at higher levels resolution. These higher resolution levels usually demand a faster refresh rate on the monitor, which is why Super VGA monitors are superior to older VGA monitors.
