Configuring a Virtual Machine's Display Settings
Configuring a Virtual Machine's Display Settings
You can configure the display depth or number of colors in a virtual machine. A
higher display depth setting slows down screen redraws when you use a remote
console to view a virtual machine across a network connection. However, with greater
color depth, you get better color resolution and fidelity, which may be an issue,
depending on the applications you intend to run on the virtual machine.
To configure the virtual machine's display settings, complete the following steps.
- In the Hardware page, under Display, click Edit. The Display page appears.
- In the Colors list, select the display depth or the number of colors you want available to the virtual machine. Select 256 Colors (8 bit), Thousands of Colors (15 bit), Thousands of Colors (16 bit) or Millions of Colors (24 bit).
- Click OK to save your change and close the window.
