The Color Quality setting displays the current color configuration for the monior attached to the video adapter listed under Display. This option allows you to change the color quality for the display adapter. You should set this value to the highest quality available for your chosen screen resolution because using a higher-quality color depth does not significantly affect performance.

Screen Resolution controls the current resolution settings for the monitor attached to the video adapter listed under Display. This option allows you to set the resolution for the display adapter. As you increase the number of pixels, you display more information on the screen, but you decrease the size of the fonts and pictures. Users will need to experiment With resolutions until they find one that strikes a good balance between amount of information displayed and the size of that information. You should also note that many LCD monitors operate at a fixed native resolution. Changing the resolution on these monitors might make the information displayed look bad.

How to Configure Multiple Displays



Windows 10 supports using multiple displays simultaneously, Which means that you can attach more than one monitor to your computer and have your desktop spread across all attached monitors.

Use of multiple displays extends the desktop across a maximum of 10 monitors. Multiple displays must use Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) or Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) devices. Hardware requirements for primary (main) and secondary displays differ.

Using multiple displays is a great way to increase your desktop space (although it can quickly consume the space on your actual desk). Many video adapter manufacturers have adapters that already have ports for more than one monitor-an easy way to set up a multipIe-display configuration. Some of these adapters come with extra software to help manage the displays that provides features like controlling the particular display on which applications appear, limiting the appearance of dialog boxes to the display on which the parent application is shown, using separate screen savers for each display, and so on.

When you are purchasing extra monitors, you should try to use monitors that are roughly the same size and set them to use the same resolution. The reason for this decision is that When you arrange your displays on the Settings tab, the location of the monitor icons accurately predicts what happens when you move your mouse pointer between displays. For example, assume that you have two displays side by side. One of the displays is a 19-inch monitor and one is a 15-inch monitor. You can arrange these displays on the Settings tab so that either the tops or the bottoms of the displays are aligned. If the tops were aligned, whenever you move your mouse pointer from the bottom of the bigger display toward the second display, the pointer would get “stuck.” To get the pointer over to the smaller display, you would have to move the pointer upward to the point where the bottom of the smaller display was. Although it seems as if it might not be a big deal, losing track of your mouse pointer because of this arrangement is a common complaint among multiple-display users.


  1. Open Settings.
  2. Click on System.
  3. Click on Display.
  4. In  "Select and rearrange displays" section, drag and drop each display to choose the situation that your configuration requires In this option you can configure correct scale where you can change the size of text, apps, and other items, correct resolution, correct orientation,switching display modes with shortcut, and many other options like
    Duplicate desktop — Shows duplicate desktop according to the description.
    Extend — Expands the primary desktop to the display currently selected.
    Disconnect this display — Turn off the selected monitor.
