Setting Color Depth and Resolution on Macintosh

  1. Locate the Apple Menu icon in the menu bar across the top of your screen.
  2. Click on the Apple Menu icon and pull down to Control Panels.
  3. Open the Monitors and Sound control panel. On some Macs, the Monitors and Sound control panel may be split into two separate control panels (a Monitors control panel and a Sound control panel). In this case, open the Monitors control panel.
  4. Click on the Monitor button.
  5. Locate the box labeled Color Depth. Make sure that the radio button for Colors is selected and that in the list to the right of that button, either Thousands or Millions is selected (the higher the better).
  6. Locate the box labeled Resolution. In the corresponding list, make sure that 800 x 600 (or higher) is selected.
  7. Close the control panel.
