Screen:

Your monitor should be set to True Color-32-bit (if you have it) and no less than 800 x 600 pixels. It's fine if your pixel dimensions are higher than this; the images will appear finer but smaller. In Windows, set the resolution by right-clicking on the monitor icon (if you have one) next to the clock, or go to START> SETTINGS> CONTROL PANEL> DISPLAY> SETTINGS and adjust the Screen Area (you can also check your color adjustments here). You may have to reload the page or even restart your browser after adjusting the screen resolution to 800 x 600.

Browser:

Expand your browser to fill the entire screen. If necessary, expand your vertical window space by either clicking VIEW>FULLSCREEN, or by collapsing one or more of the toolbars across the top of the browser. Do the latter by going to VIEW>TOOLBARS and unchecking the individual bars. I suggest collapsing all but the STANDARD BUTTONS, the one with the BACK button on it. This should allow you to see most pages in their entirety without a vertical scroll bar on the right. (If your toolbars are on the left, you will have to get rid of them to avoid scrolling left to right.) If necessary, also collapse the Windows taskbar at the bottom of the screen. Be sure your font size is adjusted to medium or normal, which it will be unless you have deliberately made it larger or smaller.

Brightness, Contrast, and Color:

Sometimes computers in public places, and other computers used almost exclusively for text editing, have the brightness and/or contrast turned down considerably to ease strain on users' eyes. If this is the case, the images will look very dark or else pale and washed out, and if you have no control over the monitor, you may wish to revisit the site on another computer.

Your monitor may be automatically color-adjusted through your software (or you can adjust your monitor using Adobe Gamma in your CONTROL PANEL if you have it.) If not, or if the color chart below looks off-color, adjust your monitor using the samples below. In general, turn the contrast to the maximum and then adjust the brightness. If you have access to color adjustments, adjust the color balance using the colors below and the neutral gray behind this text, which should not appear greenish, reddish, bluish, or yellowish. Some monitors have preset color adjustment buttons; if yours does, select one where this page looks neutral, not warm. If you have a major color shift, it is often because your monitor color temperature or "white point" is set incorrectly; it is a simple problem, but you will have to search around for your monitor settings to fix it.
