CHAPTER 2 Installing and Using the Apple Displays Software This chapter explains how to install the Apple Displays Software on your Mac OS-based computer and provides an overview of the software's features. If you're using your monitor with an IBM PC-compatible computer, you cannot install the Apple Displays Software. However, if you are using a Windows-based computer, you may need to install one file, included on the Apple Displays Software CD-ROM disc, so that your computer can identify your monitor. Mac OS-based and PC-compatible computers can also use manual controls on the monitor and the On-Screen Display to adjust settings that the Apple Displays Software does not affect. (For more information, see Chapter 3, "Using Manual Controls and the On-Screen Display.") What's included in the Apple Displays Software? The Apple Displays Software consists of several applications for adjusting basic picture and sound settings, adjusting the color on your monitor, and saving energy. These applications include m Monitors & Sound control panel software, which you use to adjust basic image and sound settings m Control Strip software, which you use to easily change screen resolution and color depth m DigitalColor Meter, which you use to magnify pixels and obtain RGB values m PANTONE® Color Picker, which you use to set PANTONE® values for colors m ColorSync, which helps you synchronize on-screen color with print color m Energy Saver, (Energy Saver may already be installed on your computer) which automatically turns off your monitor when it's not in use 11
