www.gateway.com Color is not uniform • Press the Menu button, then press the Auto button to automatically adjust the display image to the ideal settings. • Make sure that your monitor warms up for at least 30 minutes before making a final judgment about color uniformity or brightness. Image is not sized or centered correctly • Press the Menu button, then press the Auto button to automatically adjust the display image to the ideal settings. • Use the position controls to adjust the image. For instructions on how to adjust the display image position, see "Adjusting monitor settings" on page 6. • If the image looks stretched or fuzzy, you must adjust the operating system's display settings to match the monitor's optimal (native) 1440 × 900 setting. For information on adjusting settings, see "Changing Windows screen settings" on page 10. • If you are trying to select 1440 × 900 but it is not available in the Windows display control panel: • Make sure that your video card can display at 1440 × 900 resolution. • This may be caused by older video drivers on your computer. See the Gateway support Web site (www.gateway.com) for updated video drivers for your computer. You can also go directly to your video card's support Web site for the most up-to-date video drivers. The Web sites for the major video card manufacturers are: ATI®: www.amd.com Intel®: www.intel.com Nvidia®: www.nvidia.com • If your games do not have support for widescreen displays: • Newer games are adding support for widescreen displays as the widescreen format becomes more popular. Check the game's Web site for updates. You can also consult the following Web site for specific settings and options to configure older games to support widescreen: www.widescreengamingforum.com. Some adjustments may require you to make changes to the Windows System Registry. We recommend making a complete system backup before changing the System Registry. Your monitor has pixels that are always dark or too bright • This condition is normal and inherent in the TFT technology used in active-matrix LCD screens. Gateway's inspection standards keep these to a minimum. If you feel these pixels are unacceptably numerous or dense on your display, contact Gateway Customer Care to identify whether a repair or replacement is justified based on the number of pixels affected. Connecting a game console • If you want to connect your game console to this monitor, use optional video cables (available at www.gateway.com if ordering from the United States). To determine the type of cable you need, see your gaming console's documentation. 13
