The Windows display-settings for a typical computer are shown below. The actual screens on

information will apply in almost all cases.
(If not, contact your computer manufacturer or Samsung Dealer.)

2. When the control panel window appears, click on Appearance and Themes and a display
dialog-box will appear.
3. When the control panel window appears, click on Display and a display dialog-box will appear.
