Our website is best
viewed at a minimum screen resolution
is set at 800 x 600 pixels, 16 bit
colour or above. A higher screen resolution
reduces the size of items on your screen and
increases the size of your desktop. You can
see more!
Your monitor and display
adapter determine whether you can change
your screen resolution. Before you
change any settings check 'Help' features
available with your pc and you should know
the capabilities of your monitor and
computer.
-
A High Colour
setting will display over 65,000
colours.
-
A True Colour
setting will allow over 16 million
colours.
-
Settings that display
a large number of colours require a
significant amount of your computer's
processor resources.
-
Your monitor and
display adapter determine the maximum
number of colours that can appear on
your screen.
All desktop computers
with other operating systems (for example
Linux, Solaris, Apple Macintosh) have
different methods of changing colours and
screen resolution. Again Help features
should be explored prior to making any
changes.
