When you are viewing an image on an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) monitor, it should be clear and sharp and the colors bright and vivid. Usually setting the LCD monitor colors to their default settings will result in optimal image quality. However, if the default LCD monitor settings do not provide good image quality, you can calibrate the monitor screen to improve the quality.

Tips
- Low resolution can be used on LCD monitors. However, this will cause the image to be smaller, squished to the center, drawn in all directions, or have black bars.
- Many monitors have a "Menu" button on the front of the LCD monitor. When pressed, the button will display the "Set basic color settings" menu on the screen. You can adjust the monitor color in this menu. Refer to the LCD monitor's manual to find the location of the buttons as well as the available color calibration settings.
