Monitor Configuration

You can use the monitor configuration functions to get information from a monitor and to change a monitor's settings. You can use these functions to :

• Change a monitor's geometry settings, such as the width and height of the display.
• Change image settings, such as brightness and contrast.
• Reset a monitor's settings to their factory defaults.
• Degauss the monitor.

Internally, the monitor configuration functions use the Display Data Channel Command Interface (DDC/CI) to send commands to the monitor.

The monitor configuration functions are documented in the following sections:

• About Monitor Configuration
• Using Monitor Configuration
• Monitor Configuration Reference
