Changing Windows screen settings
Color depth and screen resolution are two of the most basic monitor settings you may need to change to suit your needs.
Color depth is the number of colors your computer uses to display images on your monitor. Most images look best displayed with the maximum number of colors available. If the color in your images seems "false" or "jumpy," especially after you have played a game or run a video-intensive program, check the color depth setting and return it to the highest color setting, if necessary. Common color depth settings include:
- Low (8-bit) = 256 colors
• Medium (16-bit) = 65,500 colors
• Highest (32-bit) = 16,700,000 colors
Screen resolution is the number of pixels (individual colored dots) your computer uses to display images on your monitor. The higher the resolution, the more information and screen components (such as icons and menu bars) can be displayed on the monitor.

Power management
ENERGY STAR
As an ENERGY STAR ^® Partner, eMachines has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency.
This monitor complies with the EPA's International ENERGY STAR Program, which is a program designed to encourage manufacturers of computer equipment to build circuitry into their products to reduce energy consumption during time of non-use.
Energy declaration
When connected to a computer that supports the VESA Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS) protocol, the monitor can conserve significant energy by reducing power consumption during periods of non-use. When your computer goes into the energy-saving mode, the monitor enters the Active Off mode (sleep). In the Active Off mode the power LED turns amber.
Use these conventions and the power can be reduced to the following levels:
| VESA state LED indicator Power consumption | |
| On Blue <25 W (E161HQ) | <36 W (E191HQ/E181H and E191W) |
| Active Off Amber <2 W | |
To "wake" the monitor when it is in Active Off mode, move the mouse or press any keyboard key. Access the power management options in the Control Panel to change the period of time after which the monitor enters these low power states.
Maintaining
To keep the monitor in optimal working order:
- Do not block the ventilation holes.
- Do not expose the monitor to rain or use near water.
- Keep the monitor away from radiators or heat vents.
- Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight.
Caution
Do not use any type of abrasive pad or glass cleaner. You will permanently scratch the screen.
- To clean the monitor, use a soft cloth slightly moistened with water only. Wipe the cabinet, screen, and controls.
Troubleshooting
Important
Make sure that the monitor has warmed up for about 30 minutes before making any judgments about the picture quality. The screen's backlight can take several minutes to reach maximum brightness.
If you have problems with the monitor, the information in this troubleshooting section may help you solve them.
No power
- Make sure that the power cord is connected correctly to both the back of the monitor and an AC power outlet. For more information about connecting the power cord, see "Setting up the monitor" on page 2.
No picture
- Make sure that the power cord is connected correctly to both the back of the monitor and an AC power outlet. For more information about connecting the power cord, see "Setting up the monitor" on page 2.
- Make sure that the video cable is connected securely to the back of the monitor and the computer. For more information about connecting the video cable, see "Setting up the monitor" on page 2.
• Make sure that the monitor is turned on.
- If you have the monitor connected to your notebook's video port, you have two options:
- If your notebook supports dual displays, you can use both your notebook's display and this monitor in extended desktop multi-monitor mode. See Windows Help to learn how to enable multiple monitors.
- You can also use this monitor as your primary monitor and not use the notebook's screen. Notebook computers typically have an FN key combination that lets you toggle between your notebook's display, an externally attached display, and both at the same time. See your notebook's user guide for more information.
- If the power LED is amber:
• Make sure that your computer is turned on.
- Move the mouse or press any key on the keyboard to bring the monitor out of sleep mode.
- Restart your computer with the monitor turned on.
• Make sure that the video cable is not damaged.
- Check the end of the video cable for any pins that might be bent or pushed in.
- Turn off the monitor and unplug the video cable from the back of your computer. Turn the monitor back on and wait for ten seconds. If the monitor is functioning correctly, a "Cable Not Connected" message appears. For more information about connecting the video cable, see "Setting up the monitor" on page 2.
Display colors are wrong
- Press Auto to automatically adjust the display image to the ideal settings.
- Restart your computer with the monitor turned on.
- Make sure that the video cable is connected securely to the back of the monitor and your computer. For more information about connecting the video cable, see "Setting up the monitor" on page 2.
- Make sure that the video cable is not damaged.
- Check the end of the video cable for any pins that might be bent or pushed in.
Picture has shadows or "ghosts"
- Press Auto to automatically adjust the display image to the ideal settings.
- Remove any extension cables or switchboxes.
- Make sure that the video cable is connected securely to the back of the monitor and your computer. For more information about connecting the video cable, see "Setting up the monitor" on page 2.
- Make sure that the video cable is not damaged.
- Check the end of the video cable for any pins that might be bent or pushed in.
• Make sure that your monitor connection is using the VGA cable that came with your monitor.
Color is not uniform
- Press Auto to automatically adjust the display image to the ideal settings.
- Make sure that the 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 Auto to automatically adjust the display image to the ideal settings.
-
Change the position settings. For instructions on how to adjust the display image position, see "Adjusting monitor settings" on page 5.
-
If the image looks stretched or fuzzy, you must adjust the operating system's display settings to match the monitor's optimal (native) setting. For information on adjusting settings, see "Changing Windows screen settings" on page 8. To find your monitor's native setting, see "Specifications" on page 13.
- If you are trying to select your monitor's native resolution but it is not available in the Windows display control panel:
Make sure that your video card can display at your monitor's native resolution.
- This may be caused by older video drivers on your computer. See the eMachines support Web site (www.emachines.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.
- 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.
The 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. eMachines' inspection standards keep these to a minimum. If you feel these pixels are unacceptably numerous or dense on your display, contact eMachines Customer Care to identify whether a repair or replacement is justified based on the number of pixels affected.
Connecting a game console
- To determine the type of cable you need, see your gaming console's documentation.

To prevent releases of harmful substances into the environment and to maximize the use of our natural resources, eMachines provides the following information on how you can responsibly recycle or reuse most of the materials in your "end of life" product.
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (commonly known as WEEE) should never be disposed of in the municipal waste stream (residential garbage collection). The "Crossed-Out Waste Bin" label affixed to this product is your reminder to dispose of your "end of life" product properly.
Substances such as glass, plastics, and certain chemical compounds are highly recoverable, recyclable, and reusable. You can do your part for the environment by following these simple steps:
- When your electrical or electronic equipment is no longer useful to you, "take it back" to your local or regional waste collection administration for recycling.
- In some cases, your "end of life" product may be "traded in" for credit towards the purchase of new eMachines equipment. Call eMachines to see if this program is available in your area.
- If you need further assistance in recycling, reusing, or trading in your "end of life" product, you may contact us at the Customer Care number listed in your product's user guide and we will be glad to help you with your effort.
Finally, we suggest that you practice other environmentally friendly actions by understanding and using the energy-saving features of this product (where applicable), recycling the inner and outer packaging (including shipping containers) this product was delivered in, and by disposing of or recycling used batteries properly.
With your help, we can reduce the amount of natural resources needed to produce electrical and electronic equipment, minimize the use of landfills for the disposal of "end of life" products, and generally improve our quality of life by ensuring that potentially hazardous substances are not released into the environment and are disposed of properly.
