Using Your FPD 2020 Monitor
Software controls
Adjusting the color depth and screen resolution are two of the most basic
monitor settings you may need to change.
Adjusting the color depth
Color depth is the number of colors your video card uses. Most images look best
displayed with the maximum number of colors available.
Windows lets you choose from several color depth settings for the monitor. We
recommend that you use the 32-bit True Color setting or the highest setting
available at all times.
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 32-bit True Color, if necessary.
To change the color depth:
1 In Windows XP, click Start, then click Control Panel. The Control Panel
window opens. If your Control Panel is in Category View, click
Appearance and Themes.
- OR -
In Windows 2000, click Start, Settings, then click Control Panel. The
Control Panel window opens.
2 Click/Double-click the Display icon. The Display Properties dialog box opens.

Adjusting the screen resolution
You can change the screen resolution to a size you prefer. For example, you
can increase the resolution to fit more icons on your desktop, or you can
decrease the resolution to make reading and identifying objects on the monitor
easier. The higher the resolution, the smaller individual components of the
screen (such as icons and menu bars) appear.
To change the screen resolution:
1 In Windows XP, click Start, then click Control Panel. The Control Panel
window opens. If your Control Panel is in Category View, click
Appearance and Themes.

Power management
Power management
ENERGY STAR
As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, Gateway 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 will then enter the
Active Off mode (different from total shut down). In the Active Off mode the
Power LED will still show amber.
Use these conventions and the power can be reduced to the following levels:
VESA State
On
LED Indicator
Green
Power Consumption
<60 W
Active Off
Amber
<3 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.

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. Gateway’s inspection standards keep these to a
minimum. If you feel these pixels are unacceptably numerous or dense on your
display, contact Gateway Technical Support to identify whether a repair or
replacement is justified based on the number of pixels affected.

25
Safety, Regulatory, and Legal Information
Setting up your system
■
Read and follow all instructions marked on the product and in the documentation before you
operate your system. Retain all safety and operating instructions for future use.
Do not use this product near water or a heat source such as a radiator.
Set up the system on a stable work surface.
■
■
■
■
The product should only be operated from the type of power source indicated on the rating label.
If your product has a voltage selector switch, make sure that the switch is in the proper position
for your area. The voltage selector switch is set at the factory to the correct voltage.
■
Openings in the monitor case are provided for ventilation. Do not block or cover these openings.
Make sure you provide adequate space, at least 6 inches (15 cm), around the system for
ventilation when you set up your work area. Never insert objects of any kind into the monitor
ventilation openings.
■
Some products are equipped with a three-wire power cord to make sure that the product is
properly grounded when in use. The plug on this cord will only fit into a grounding-type outlet.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into an outlet, contact an electrician
to install the appropriate outlet.
■
■
If you use an extension cord with this system, make sure that the total ampere rating on the
products plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating.
If your system is fitted with a TV Tuner, cable, or satellite receiver card, make sure that the
antenna or cable system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage
surges and buildup of static charges.
26
