Generally speaking you will want to use the highest refresh rate value your monitor can render. This is the number of times in a second that your monitor will 'draw' data, so it can be thought of as a 'frames per second' for your monitor, except it is measured in Hertz, or Hz. By clicking the 'Customize.' button, you can create custom resolutions for your screen to render at.Īlso note that this sub-menu allows you to change the refresh rate, or vertical scan rate, of your monitor. If you are using multiple monitors you can easily change between settings for each monitor by clicking on the monitor icons towards the top of the screen. Your default resolution will be listed with the suffix '(native)'. Select a resolution from the drop down list. To do this, navigate to Display → Change resolution. One of the ways to change the monitor's display resolution at is to edit it via the Control Panel. If you are using a multimonitor setup with iGPU rendering, you may need to disconnect and/or disable the secondary monitor(s) to change the scaling settings, and reconnect after applying, otherwise the configuration will always reset to default. No scaling: This option will not scale your desktop at all, instead centering it at the middle of the display.If your desktop aspect ratio differs from that of your display, your desktop will appear stretched disproportionately. Full-screen: This option will stretch the desktop to fit the display, regardless of the desktop aspect ratio.Thus, if you have previously changed your desktop aspect ratio and it differs from that of your monitor display, black bars will appear at the left/right or top/bottom of the display. Aspect ratio: This option will scale up the desktop to fit the monitor whilst maintaining the desktops aspect ratio.The 'Scaling' tab allows to adjust the former, with several options available: Hue: This is the amount an image is 'shifted' on the color spectrum towards one of the unique hues (red, green, blue and yellow).īy heading to the Adjust desktop size and position page under the Display sub-menu, it is possible to modify how your desktop scales to your monitor resolution as well as the position of the desktop on the display.Digital vibrance: This setting essentially acts like contrast, allowing you to fine tune the way your monitor displays the vibrancy of colors with values between grayscale and a high-contrast setting.

Several image enhancements are also available: Generally speaking it is advised you leave this value at the default +1.00 setting. In simpler terms, it 'optimizes' images displayed on your computer to emphasize color differences the human eye is sensitive to (for example, shadows) and to prevent GPU power from being wasted on distinguishing color differences the human eye struggles to detect. Gamma: Gamma, or gamma correction, is done by your computer to determine luminance settings for images.Generally, you will want to avoid setting this too high or too low as it will strain your eyesight during extended play. Increasing this value with increase the vibrancy of all colors and the ease with which you can distinguish them. Contrast: Contrast is the difference between the colors your screen displays.Generally however, it is advised you modify the settings for 'All Channels', as this will still allow you to achieve a wide range of effects.

By editing each channel individually you can fine-tune the brightness and contrast of single components of your display image, allowing you to more accurately obtain color settings you are happy with.
