Adjusting your display and power settings in the Control Panel can help you customize your computer’s performance, increase battery life, and improve your viewing experience.
To adjust your display and power settings in the Control Panel, first open the Windows Start menu and search for Control Panel. Then select the Control Panel icon to open it.
In the Control Panel, click on Power Options. Here you can choose the power plan that best suits your needs. For example, if you’ll be using your computer for extended periods of time, you can select a power plan that reduces your monitor’s brightness, dims the display when idle, and uses less energy overall.
You can also access the Advanced Power Settings from this page. This will allow you to customize the settings for each power plan. For example, you can adjust the length of time before the monitor goes into sleep mode, the brightness of your display, and the threshold for when the computer will activate the standby or hibernate mode.
If you want to adjust the resolution and other display settings, click on Change Display Settings. This will open a window where you can customize your screen’s resolution, color, size, and orientation. Additionally, you can adjust the refresh rate, contrast, and brightness.
The Color Management tab allows you to configure additional color settings, such as color balance and gamma. Finally, the Advanced Settings window lets you tune the performance and hardware of your display, such as its graphics card, resolution, and gaming performance.
Once you finish adjusting your display and power settings, click on Apply to save the changes and then OK to confirm them.
By taking advantage of the display and power settings available in the Control Panel, you can customize your computer’s performance, extend its battery life, and improve your overall viewing experience.
