To Adjust The Display - HP OmniBook xe3-gf - Notebook PC Reference Manual

Hint

To adjust the display

Changing the brightness
• To decrease the brightness, press Fn+F1.
• To increase the brightness, press Fn+F2.
• Click Start, Programs, HP Display Settings, HP Display Settings (Windows 98 or
2000), or Start, All Programs, Hewlett-Packard, Notebook, HP Display Settings, HP
Display Settings (Windows XP). You have the option of adding a display settings
icon in the taskbar for quick access.
When you are using battery power, the display dims automatically to conserve power.
You can use the brightness controls to override this adjustment.
To maximize your battery operating time, set the brightness to the lowest level you can
view comfortably.
Changing display settings
You can customize a number of display settings for your computer, such as color depth
and screen area.
1. Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, then double-click Display (Windows 98 or
2000), or click Start, Control Panel, Appearance and Themes, Display (Windows
XP).
2. Click the Settings tab, then make the settings you want.
The computer has an LCD display, which behaves differently from a normal computer
monitor. If you change the display resolution, the desktop changes size, but the objects
on it do not. You normally won't change the resolution except to use an external monitor.
Changing icon and label sizes
To enlarge icons and labels on your screen when using a high-resolution display, use HP
Desktop Zoom.
• Click Start, Programs (or All Programs), Hewlett-Packard, Notebook, HP Desktop
Zoom, HP Desktop Zoom. If this program is not installed on your computer, you can
download it from the HP Customer Care Web site (www.hp.com/go/support).
