Reducing the screen resolution and display colors

If your system performance slows down when you use SMART Recorder, or the recording quality isn’t as good as you want, you can reduce your computer’s screen resolution and display colors. Smaller screens and fewer colors result in faster performance.

Note 

This procedure may vary depending on your version of Windows operating system and your system preferences.

ClosedTo reduce the screen resolution and display colors

  1. Open Windows Control Panel.

  2. Press Display, and then press Change display settings.

  3. Select a lower setting in the Resolution drop-down list.

  4. Select a lower setting in the Colors drop-down list.

    Note 

    You’re unable to change display colors in Windows 7 and later operating systems.

  5. Press OK.
