Dell monitor switched to 4 bit color after update, higher setting not available now.?

What type of graphics card do you have? Try to uninstall the display adapter then reinstall it. This should take care of your problem, but the monitor is not the issue here no matter what. The 4 bit comes from the display adapter and that has to be properly installed before your monitor can show the true color.. Hopefully the display adapter is okay------ which I am sure that it is---\nAny other questions, I/M or email me. =)) Hope this helps you!!

Try right clicking on ur desktop, \n\nselect:\n\ndisplay modes \n\ntrue colour \n\n1024X768\n\nIt depends on ur PC. This applies to a 15inch monitor. It will be different on other monitors.\n\nIf thats not the case, then your laptop is in safemode, which you can easily convert back into normal mode, by restarting and select F8 or F10.

try restarting the computer and if that doesn't work check your display settings

Sounds like something is off. I hope you don't have a virus. Maybe your color scheme is set improperly.\n\nTo better answer this question, you need to tell us what operating system your using and when did you notice the change. Also it would help if you remember what you did with your PC around the time when you noticed the change.

This has NOTHING to do with the monitor.  If you "..cannot set my display to 800X600 or higher.." then you are locked in 'safe mode' resolution of 640 x 480.  Even the 'standard vga monitor' driver will let you push it to 800 x 600 with the corect video card driver installed.\n\nYou will need the CD that came with your video card.  put it in and install the drivers again.

You can change the contrast and other settings in your display settings. There should be a advanced button located in that option.

reboot then change your display settings in the control panel.  if it still won't change then it has nothing to do with dos, it is your video driver that needs to be updated and installed.

There should be a combination of keys you can push to get it to switch displays.  For Compaqs, I think it's Fn+F4.  For Dells, it's Fn+F8.\n\nSee if any of the keys on your keyboard has a picture of a monitor or the words "CRT/LCD," in a different color.  That, combined with your Fn key, usually tells the display to output somewhere else.  Good luck.  =)

Swap monitors. If he gets color back, then you've identified the issue. If not, it's probably the video card. Identify the card through windows device manager and update the current driver.\n\nMight not be a bad idea to run a virus scan, either.

Sounds like it could be a short in the wiring to the monitor. If it changes as you slowly open or close the monitor, then that is it. If it is visible before windows boots up, then that is it as well.

What kind of display do you have?  LCD or CRT.  Sometime your monitor won't do certain resolution.  I believe your card should always be able to support lower resolution.  My guess is that you may have a hardware incompatibility problem.  May be update your driver software from Dell will help.\n\nGood luck.
