The screen is either a 13.0-inch diagonal, DSTN (Satellite
1730/1735) or a 13.3-inch diagonal, TFT (Satellite 1750/1755)
color liquid crystal display (LCD).
DEFINITIONS: DSTN (Dual SuperTwist Nematic) is a
passive-matrix LCD technology that uses two display layers
to counteract the color shifting that occurs with conventional
supertwist displays.
TFT (Thin Film Transistor) is an active-matrix LCD
technology that uses one TFT for each cell. Active-matrix
displays are viewable from wider angles than most passive-
matrix displays.
The lights on the system indicator panel provide information
about various keyboard and system functions.
The computer's pointing device comprises an AccuPoint
pointing device and four control buttons. The AccuPoint II allows
you to position the cursor on the screen. The control buttons work
with the AccuPoint II. The larger button acts as the primary
button on a mouse. The smaller button acts as the secondary
button on a mouse. The two small buttons are scroll buttons. For
